Why We Love This Deal
If you know On, you know the Swiss running brand’s shoes are both coveted and very rarely on sale. And while On doesn’t have big blowout savings events like other shoe companies, you can score exclusive prices on the brand’s running shoes by browsing its Last Season section. Just a few days ago, we spied the Cloudsurfer 2 there, but another iteration of the vaunted Cloudsurfer has popped up as well.
On’s Cloudsurfer Next is normally priced at $150, but it’s currently available in the Last Season section for just $105. It’s available at that price in two colorways, and both have a wide selection of sizes in stock (rare for Last Season styles). Crucially, it’s also the best price we could find online—the $105 price tag easily beats what the Cloudsurfer Next is selling for at both Zappos and REI.

What Shoppers Should Know
- Colorways Available: 2
- Sizes Available: 7-14
- Weight: 9.6 ounces
- Drop: 6mm
- Best For: Everyday training runs for athletes who like a moderately cushioned shoe
The Cloudsurfer Next is a running shoe designed for day-to-day training, including everything from casual jogs to speedwork. It features a neutral design and a moderate amount of cushioning, and it’s optimized for a responsive, smooth ride.
The Next is built with On’s CloudTec Phase midsole structure—hollow tubes in the midsole that compress at landing and spring back into shape at toe off. The CloudTec design cushions your landings while saving weight, and the tubes are shaped to transfer momentum forward in each stride. The sole also has a rocker shape to promote smooth transitions. The midsole is made from On’s Helion cushioning foam, and on the bottom, large rubber outsole patches at the heel and forefoot generate reliable grip on pavement and boost the shoe’s durability.

So how does the Cloudsurfer Next compare to its similarly named sibling, the Cloudsurfer 2? The 2 is designed for maximum cushioning and a plush underfoot feel. The Next, in contrast, serves up a firmer ride with less squish underfoot, so it’ll feel more responsive. One isn’t necessarily better than the other—it just comes down to your preferences. Both models are great choices for everyday training runs.
