The Cloudmonster 3 is On Running's most refined take yet on accessible, everyday running. It's a shoe built to make the miles feel easier — whether you're a seasoned runner logging long weekend distances or someone just getting into a regular routine.
The Cloudmonster 3 Hyper is where things get serious. Built on the same oversized CloudTec® platform as the standard Monster, the Hyper steps up the energy return and propulsive intent — dialling in a shoe that rewards runners who want more out of every stride. It's long-run capable, but it's got enough bounce to make faster efforts feel genuinely exciting.
See the full rundown in the video below.
Cloudmonster 3
With its engineered knit mesh up top, the Cloudmonster 3 keeps things breathable and unfussy — secure through the midfoot, forgiving through the forefoot, with subtle overlays and pared-back branding that let the shoe do the talking.
Underfoot, the oversized CloudTec® elements compress deeply on landing and roll you forward with a smooth, almost effortless transition. Helion™ superfoam has been fine-tuned for a more balanced feel — plush enough to take the edge off longer miles, yet lively enough when the pace naturally lifts. The updated Speedboard® adds structure and snap through the midsole without stiffening the ride, while the rocker geometry guides each footstrike into a clean, efficient push-off.
Cloudmonster 3 Hyper
The Hyper wears its intent on its sleeve — literally. The bold "ON RUNNING" branding across the lateral panel makes a graphic statement straight out of the box, and the fit backs it up: snug, clean, and locked in from heel to toe.
Underfoot, CloudTec® meets Helion™ HF superfoam, so landings are soft but push-off still feels alive. Removing the Speedboard® lets the foams do the work, creating a smoother, more flexible ride that’s easier to live in over longer runs.
Cloudmonster 3 is available now in-stores and online. Cloudmonster 3 Hyper will be available later this month.
