Anyone who’s ever taken up running knows it sounds simple, but there’s a lot to master—breathing, form, and, of course, footwear. Choosing the right running sneaker is more complex than it seems; it’s not a one-size-fits-all situation. If you’re unsure where to start, On Running offers some of the best designs in the game. Best of all, one of its most sought-after running sneakers just got a major upgrade. Enter the On Cloudsurfer 2.

If you’re not familiar with the On family tree, here’s a quick summary. First came the CloudTec, which features cushiony air holes in the soles of the shoe. Then came the CloudTilt, which is similar to the original, but has holes tilted into a sort of magnetic field-like design that mimics the lines of a foot’s arch. You get the vibe. Now, newest to the family is On’s Cloudsurfer 2. (It’s a misnomer, since it’s actually On’s eighth iteration of a Cloudsurfer, but they reset their numerical ordering when they came out with the CloudTec Phase.)

The Cloudsurfer 2 is designed to make everyday runs effortless and comfortable. Plus, it’s available for both men and women in a variety of understated colorways—so if you ever just need a sleek, no-frills sneaker, you’ll find it here. It features a breathable mesh upper for proper ventilation and a combination of the brand’s refined CloudTec Phase and Helion superfoam for cushion and support every step of the way. You can trust that your feet won’t be hurting at the end of your runs, no matter if you’re running on the track, cement sidewalks or dirt roads.

On has always been a runner favorite since they’ve focused on incorporating new tech into their footwear. Case in point: They recently came out with a 3D-printed marathon sneaker that runner Helen Obiri wore while becoming a two-time Boston Marathon winner. So you can trust that the Cloudsurfer 2 comes to you from running visionaries that aren’t just trying to make a good-looking shoe, but one that prioritizes performance.
