The On Running Cloudpulse Next in grey is a low-top running trainer built around On's distinctive cloud-based cushioning system. The light grey mesh upper is finished with a smoother ribbed overlay panel along the sides, while a pale mint-green trim strip traces the join between upper and sole for a clean, sporty look. It's a style that suits anyone wanting a running-inspired trainer that still looks sharp away from the gym.
Comfort and support come from a padded tongue with a pull-tab loop, a padded grey mesh collar, and a lace-up closure that runs through fabric loops up to a metal eyelet near the top for a secure, adjustable fit. The standout feature is the dark green cellular midsole, made up of rounded, hollow cushioning pods along the sides that give this trainer its rockered, cushioned ride, paired with a rubber outsole offering grip through diagonal-ribbed tread patches. Small details like the red Swiss flag tab at the heel and the printed "Swiss Engineering" text on the midsole wall nod to On's Swiss running heritage.
With its round toe, low-cut profile and lightweight mesh construction, the Cloudpulse Next works equally well for gym sessions, everyday training or simply as a comfortable everyday trainer. The grey colourway is easy to pair with most casual and activewear, making it a versatile pick for anyone comparing lightweight cushioned trainers from the On Running range.
