On Cloudeclipse 

ON biggest challenge is reasonable pricing.

Had this shoe for about a month now and the word that comes to my mind is smooth. The ride is very very smooth. It's also On's softest shoe to date. The initial step in doesn't feel much different than the monster but on the run you can feel way more cushion in that forefoot area in the eclipse. It also seems to get softer and softer after every run (weight: 160 lbs). I've been enjoying it a lot. Great review as always from one Mike to the other.

I loved the cloud surfer but hated the squeaking that occurred not even a month after having them. What do you recommend that is a similar feel?

Love the slo motion clips in such great quality. I can really see what happens to the clouds on foot strike and follow through. my foot strike is pretty much identical to yours so i found this very helpful. Im thinking that i will just get the Superblast though. I know you try and stay as objective as possible but your love for the Superblast is palpable and I respect your opinion. I will getting a pair soon…….. maybe Black Friday sale? One can only hope.

I bought a pair yesterday and gave them a 10 km test run that evening. Everything you said in this video is what I was thinking while running in them. I was so pleasantly surprised. I did go half a size down to 6.5. I think I could if went to a 6 but I did have a good run in them. Other than that I’m really looking forward to putting them in my rotation. Cheers 🤗🇨🇦

Omg, I was waiting for your review to decide about purchasing them 🤣

Thanks for the review ! I wonder about the durability of this shoe. My Nimbus (paid 140€) already have 1000 km on them and are still in good condition.

I'm looking for some advice on building out a proper shoe rotation, and this seems to be the place to be! Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated! Easy / Recovery / Zone 2 Runs - 5:00-6:00 min per KM pace - 1 to 2 hour runs Currently have the ASICS Gel Nimbus 25 which seem okay for this purpose but would like recommendations for a soft/max cushion shoe to cover the easy, plodding along miles. Must have a very durable outsole as I do roughly 200km per month for this type of run so don't want to be replacing it all the time. Tempo / Interval / Threshold / Hill Repeats - Non-plated Currently use the Puma Nitro Velocity 2 for this but will need to be replaced soon as they have over 700km's on them. Looking for a light, responsive, good energy return, non-plated shoe for the faster runs, again with a durable outsole if possible. Tempo / Interval / Threshold / Hill Repeats - Plated As above but with a plate to help get closer to simulating race-day pace - not an all-out race shoe so there's still a bit of time to gain (probably through a placebo effect) on race-day. Long-run - 25km+ inc. Half Marathon (4:00 min per KM) / Marathon Efforts (4:45 min per KM) Something comfortable for the longer distance training runs that inc. HM/M race-day efforts. Again, a durable outsole would be nice here due to the distance the shoe will be covering. Potentially plated to provide some additional support and energy but not an all-out race shoe 5km / 10km / HM Race Currently using the Puma Deviate Nitro Elite 2 and love it for these distances. Any other recommendations? Marathon / 50km Ultra Race Really like the sound of the Adidas Adizero Adios Pro 3 for this category, but any other recommendations would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Thanks. How do the 3 max cushion shoes mentioned here compare to the Gel Nimbus 25 or 26?

Exciting to see ON being competitive in the running shoe game. Unfortunately I think they will always be beaten by better value options like puma

My biggest concern is the longevity of the foam to keeps its reaction or return. Seeing the cutouts leaving almost like thin pillars of foam in between. Itll be interesting to see how they feel afte 200 miles or so. Intersting shoe though.

Please do Cloudeclipse vs Cloudmonster comparison. More power to your channel Kofuzi! 👍

Great all your reviews. What are the cons and pros to compare with the nova blast 4. Is it the eclipse more stable, faster, forward rolling. More 5-15 k shoe and also suitable for heel striker? And eclipse against the mach 6? Thanks mate

Love your videos Kofuzi. Not sure how many miles/kms you put on these but was there any "squeek" in these? I had the surfers and after about 50km they started squeeking. Actually returned these 3 times for a new pair an eventually switched to the monsters which ive had no problems with(maybe because the foam holes collapse less). Luckily i work opposite the ON flagship store in London so easy to do. Customer service is very good.

Great channel! I’m wondering if this shoe can be good for everyday walking do it all shoe? Or they better for specifically running. Thanks

This is one of my most anticipated reviews of the last few months. I JUST got the new 1080 and have been wondering if I should have waited for these. Could you share some differences/preferences? Also, if you don't mind touching on it, how's the outsole as rainy season approaches? That's something I don't love about the Superblast and this shoe looks like it may do well.

I decided to get the ONs shoes. I usually wear the ultra boosts for 5 plus year and Pegasus. So far I love them! I purchased the surfer and it’s so good. I now own the surfer, monster, and eclipse. Out of all 3, I like the surfer but, I just purchased the eclipse today and probably need more time on it. The monster is little more stiffer than the other 2. Glad to try different brand for now

I was surprised how much I enjoyed the firm yet max cushion midsole coupled with the rocker. It's max cushion but this feels like a do-it-all shoe with a bias towards the long run.

can't wait for the 100 miles update, I wanna grab one for myself, but afraid the performance/excitement will drop after 100 miles.

I'm not so sure about them after the 1st run. Bought them to rotate with the Mach 5's which i absolutely love. The upper on this is super comfy and I had a great lockdown. Even though they're not super light, they didn't feel heavy or clunky like the Mach X. They definitely push you a bit forward, don't feel like a slow run shoe. What i'm torn about is the feel of the midsole. It has a lot of stack, but i feel the pods just collapse and it doesn't feel plush. Also the speed board on the bottom is just weird. It should have been deeper under the foam. You can feel every little rock if you step on it. I'll probably return them and get some cheap Clifton 9's for the easy miles. The standard price here in Europe is 190 but got them on black friday sale for 150. Still on the expensive side, i don't think it's worth it. I think On is getting closer to a proper running shoe, but the might need to create a 2 layer system with a softer foam layer on top and could pods on the bottom.

thankyou for the info..

I love Oncloud, my bloudrunner is too cute!

Seems On has a limitation with their cloud tech on where to put the speed board. Great review as always!

How does it stack up against ASICS gel nimbus 25?

With how you are using and comparing the CloudEclipse to other premium bois, I’m surprised you didn’t mention the Tracksmith Eliot. Seems like they would have a similar use and also be dope high-end on-the-town shoes.

Hello, this one feels like a nova blast 3 or 4? I like a plush / fast feel for any distance but, right now I'm in between the eclipse, the nova or the superblast? And this is true to size? Thanks.

I just received the Asics Superblast but haven't tried it on yet. I currently use the ON Go for easy runs but find it isn't cushy enough. I would like to add the ON Eclipse to my weekday practice/ training run.

Can I use this for weightlifting?

I have two pairs of Cloudsurfer 7 and they both have broken down to the point that they squeak horribly, especially my orange pair. I am planning to get a pair of the Cloudeclipse but if they squeak like the Cloudsurfers do I will be depressed

Missing those minimalist raceflats from the ol' days if I see this. Where did the ground contact feel go to?

Been wanting to buy these as these are closest to the On Cloud Monsters. But need to know if they are waterproof

Sorry, just a silly question. If we use illegal shoes to race on wmm, do we still get cleared as finisher?

Hey guys, just wondering if you would recommend the cloudeclipse for all day walking/standing… I have to work long shifts on the hospital, so looking for something comfortable that gives enough support throughout the day

Hi I’m in a dilemma between forerunner 255 and 265 what do you recommend, maybe you prefer other model or brand.

my BMI is around 24-25, is eclipse a better choice than surfer for pace around 600-630/km?

I really wanted to like this shoe. I loved the feel, the lockdown and tongue are very nice. But my ankle bones kept rubbing against the side and the pain gradually gets worse on long runs. I loved the shoe but just the ankle rubbing was a big turn off and returned it.

Hey how are they for walking and wearing them to the office sometimes?

You strain credibility a bit when you suggest $300 shoes (PXS and EE) vs a $180 shoe. Otherwise excellent review as always. I've mostly relegated all my max cushion shoes (Invincibles, Bondi, Nimbuses, Triumphs, More V4) to daily walkers since they're all too heavy and clunky. They take all the fun out of running. All that said, the Cloudsurfer 7 is one of my favorite shoes of this year. I love the fast and firm Helion foam though I wonder how much better it could be if On were ever to get serious and use supercritical nitrogen-injected foams. It also has one of the most generous toe boxes of any shoe in my collection. Maybe that's also true of this Cloudeclipse?

I think if someone really only had to use 2 pairs of shoe, or could only take 2 travelling and this is one of theirs.. I would always pair a max cushion shoe with a more minimal and firmer shoe, builds character and makes you appreciate the cushioning when you use it. Probably good for injury prevention too, but I'm just a stranger on the internet.

Which shoe has the more aggressive rocker, Cloudeclipse or Superblast?

Sad to say this but after running 30km in them so far (in rain) the shoes are already starting to squeak. The foam is getting softer at the point making the pods collapsing on itself easier causing the foam to rub against each other. The protective layer that is in the pods probably got washed off by the rain (so maybe adding some oil/powder will reduce the squeak?). Really disappointed they didn't resolve the biggest issue the Cloudsurfer had. The shoe feels lighter than it actually is and for me fit true to size. The foam sits in between the softness of the Cloudsurfer and firmness of the Boston 12. I'm 80kg/176lbs so lighter runners will most likely experience this issue much later than I did. I really like the shoes overall, but I would've liked it a little bit more if the tongue had just a tiny bit more padding.

I guess it’s going to stand head to head with the ghost max. Is that shoe in for review?

I’m a jogger that incorporates about 12-15 minute sprints on a turf soccer field into my my 5-5.5 miles run. I like to keep sprints in my regimen to stay in shape for soccer. I run on pavement. I really like the idea of cushioning to help with impact. In your opinion could the eclipse be fine for my type of run? If not, any other recommendations? I use a new balance V860 now.

3rd From The Philippines🇵🇭

Does it squeak on each step like cloud surfer?

I got this a week ago and I tried it for barely 30KM by far, sadly to say the midsole is much more firmer than it seems. The midsole is just too hard for me to put on miles in it.

"pushing it into the max" .... that sounds familiar -> KSWISS TUBES!!!! :-D

Hey! Loved the review - my buddy just picked these up and he is my size so I get to try them for free!! Question for you: for a flat HM I found the ankle snappy-ness of the Alphafly 1 to be fun and exciting. On mile 22 of a full marathon with rolling hills I wanted to throw those things off my feet and burn them. Is there something in the middle that can give me the advantage of the Alpha but is a little safer on tired legs? (Similar feel to the endorphin speed 3 maybe?) or do I just need to bullet proof my legs in the gym? Thanks!!

Was it true to size sorry didn’t hear that?

I imagine the engineer team from On watching Kofuzi with pen and paper in hand lol

Compared to the Bondi 8?

I'd be more interested in these if they came in wide sizes

I already know that notch is going to be a fucking rock magnet

Hi are this shoe true to size?

Cloudeclipse vs Topo Atmos?

ON learning from adi. Speed board is basically a torsion plate.

Wonder who will come out on top? The On Cloud eclipse, or Adidas Switch FWD or Sketchers GoRun Swirltech? Who makes the best holey shoe? 😅

Tried them as part of a demo run and I did not like them. Very wide toe box, very roomy. In running I felt flat footed. Pretty much, most people I spoke to who ran in them as part of the demo did not like them. I could not imagine doing a long run in them. The 5k I ran in them was more than enough for me to decide that this shoe was not for me.

Unfortunately too expensive compared to what's out there, including last seasons standouts which are now on steep discounts

I don't know why they put the speed board in this, that was the absolute reason I bought the Cloudsurfer !!

Still hard as cloud rocks?🤔

that intro beat was more intense than it had to be. i was about to bring peace to gaza and shit

Is helion an EVA+OBC foam? If so, that's not much of a "superfoam"

I felt the sizing was a little too roomy, but otherwise a great shoe!

Is this new shoe gonna have the same squeaking noise like the latest On Cloudsurfer ? very boring...

Again. Like all cloud shoes. They want you to pay a significant upcharge for holes in your shoes.... I'm just not sure I'm convinced on both a longevity level and a price level.

180 is a bit too expensive imo, i'll wait for it to be at 160 or something lol

I still can't unlove my Novablast 3.

Seems to me a shoe similiar to the Saucony Endorphine Speed ... I'm waiting for the speed 4 and then I compare. Oooooor, you compare them Mr. Kofuzi :P

For the price I think Nova 3 or 4 would be better comparable than superblast.

The BAA police are going to start patrolling for 50mm shoes after this video 😆

no more stone picker

These shoes seem much better, but not enough to pull the trigger.

Eva foam but price so expensive

I returned mine. They just felt lifeless and dull to me. You sink into the foam with no return.

Tried it. Stiff AF

Lol adidas called. They want their torsion system back.

Anything Swedish is expensive

Friends don’t let friends run in on clouds

the on fad is over i see them less and less
