On Cloudnova: Streetwear-Ready Comfort for Everyday Life

Not every trainer needs to look like it's built for a training session. The Cloudnova collection leans into a relaxed, streetwear silhouette — a roomier toe box, an open-pod sole design, and city-ready styling — while keeping the CloudTec® cushioning that runs through our entire On Cloud shoes UK range.

A Shoe Built for the Sneaker Crowd

Where models like the Cloudsurfer are built around structured, performance-first running, the Cloudnova is designed for people who genuinely live in their trainers day to day. The lower-density sole and exposed cloud elements give it a distinct, chunkier look than the rest of the range — closer to a lifestyle sneaker than a running shoe, even though the underlying cushioning technology is exactly the same.

Standout Styles in the Collection

• Cloudnova Moon: A laceless, velcro-fastened take on the range, built for quick on-off convenience without losing the comfort. We've covered this style in more depth in our slip-on shoes guide.
• Cloudnova Rift: A slightly more retro-leaning silhouette within the range, popular across a wide spread of colourways for both men's and women's sizing.
• Cloudnova 2: The core everyday version, offering the collection's signature look in a straightforward, versatile build.

Comfort Without the Performance Framing

Because it isn't built around a specific sport, the Cloudnova tends to suit people who want the comfort benefits of CloudTec® cushioning without a shoe that reads as obviously athletic. It works equally well for a full day of walking around a city, running errands, or just being the trainer you reach for by default.

Sizing

The Cloudnova runs true to standard UK sizing, though the roomier toe box tends to feel slightly more relaxed than On's running-focused models. If you've needed extra width elsewhere in the range, our wide fit collection is worth a look too.
