On, a Swiss performance running shoe and apparel company, birthed the Cloud 5. Founded in 2010, the brand promptly introduced its innovative CloudTec technology, which has since been extensively adopted by athletes and fitness enthusiasts. The original On Cloud model made its debut in February 2014, marking the initial stride in On's journey.
Engineered for a harmonious blend of performance and style, the Cloud 5 is ideally suited for an active lifestyle and contemporary fashion. It is designed for diverse settings, including city streets, casual office environments, and everyday athletic wear. This model is recommended for everyday runners, walking, urban exploration, travel, light gym workouts, and casual everyday wear.
The Cloud 5's influence is undeniable. In 2016, the On Cloud, a precursor to the Cloud 5, achieved significant recognition by gracing the cover of Vanity Fair, famously worn by Emmanuel Lubezki. This appearance solidified the brand's presence in popular culture. The Cloud 5 has become a staple in athleisure and street style.
The Cloud 5 'Ox Shadow' is meticulously crafted, employing durable, premium materials to achieve a sleek, minimalist design. The upper is constructed with a breathable, flexible mesh, enhanced with odor-fighting properties and recycled polyester. This innovative approach ensures a supportive structure, using no-sew taped reinforcements for added durability, with approximately 44% of the shoe composed of recycled materials.
