On has quietly moved one of its most recognizable road shoes to its Last Season section, and the discount that comes with it is worth paying attention to.
The Cloudrunner 2 in classic black — a staple of gym bags, airport terminals, and everyday rotations alike — is now marked down, making it one of the more straightforward buying opportunities the Swiss running brand has offered in recent memory. If you’ve been watching from the sidelines waiting for a reason to pull the trigger, this is it.

The shoe you see everywhere
OnThe Cloudrunner 2 is On’s answer to the everyday road running shoe — one that’s equally at home logging miles on a weekend jog as it is getting you through a long travel day.
Built around On’s Helion superfoam midsole, the shoe delivers a balanced combination of cushioning and energy return without the kind of maximalist stack height that can feel unwieldy off the run. CloudTec cushioning in the outsole absorbs impact at landing, while a 10mm heel-to-toe drop keeps the ride feeling natural and grounded.
OnThe upper is constructed from a recycled polyester mesh, keeping things breathable and relatively lightweight at 277 grams. A plush tongue and durable heel clip round out the fit, providing both step-in comfort and the kind of locked-down support that makes it a legitimate choice for runners who want a shoe that can do more than just look the part.
The Cloudrunner 2 sits in On’s “Stable” road running category, making it a particularly good pick for those who want a little more structure underfoot.
