On Cloudmonster Hyper

A super-trainer take on the Cloudmonster with a PEBA-based Helion HF midsole and no plate. It is noticeably bouncier and lighter than the standard Cloudmonster, suiting uptempo long runs and marathon-pace work. Pricey for a plateless trainer.

Who it's for

Reach for the On Cloudmonster Hyper for long runs and tempo days and intervals. It's a neutral shoe, best for runners with an efficient stride who don't need pronation support. The tall, soft stack favors comfort over ground feel — great for high mileage and bigger runners, less so for racing snappiness.
