Released on 16 May 2024 and part of On Running's Cloudrunner 2 line. This release has a mesh upper in Magnet/Black. The Cloudrunner 2 is the second edition of On Running's Cloudrunner, and its name states its brief more plainly than most in the brand's range: this is the nameplate aimed squarely at running rather than lifestyle wear.
The buyer profile is straightforward: people who want an On shoe to actually run in, as distinct from the brand's lifestyle-leaning models. That typically means recreational runners logging regular kilometres who want cushioning and structure over racing minimalism. India's city running boom, built around marathons, running clubs and morning loops, has widened exactly this category of buyer. As with any running purchase, fit and intended mileage should drive the choice, so read the edition-specific details below and match them to how you plan to run.
On Running's rise has been one of the notable running-brand stories of recent years, moving from a specialist's choice to a shoe seen daily in gyms and on commutes. Nameplates like the Cloudrunner matter within that arc because they anchor the brand's claim to being a running company first, and a second edition is evidence of a model earning its place in the range rather than passing through it.
This release wears a Magnet/Black execution with a mesh build. It reached the market in 2024. What can be said structurally is that it follows On Running's family conventions: a shoe named and numbered within the Cloud range, built to be run in, and revised between generations in fit and cushioning, which is what a numbered second edition exists to deliver. The colour-specific description below is written per edition and carries the exact materials, cushioning setup and outsole details of the pair you are viewing; treat that as the authoritative spec for this purchase.
