On was founded in 2010 in Zurich by Olivier Bernhard — a former Ironman and duathlon world champion — together with David Allemann and Caspar Coppetti. Bernhard had prototyped the first CloudTec sole by gluing cut sections of garden hose to the bottom of a running shoe; the hollow rubber pods compressed on landing and locked firm for push-off, and the idea scaled. The brand still runs its R&D out of Zurich and has been listed on the NYSE since September 2021.
The Cloudstratus 3 is On's double-CloudTec daily — two stacked layers of Helion-filled CloudTec pods, studied at Loughborough University to measurably reduce onset and duration of muscle soreness. Reviewers describe the ride as energetic and responsive without mushiness, and smooth through the transition. Heavier at ~298 g but well-cushioned for steady miles. Cloudstratus 3 — two stacked layers of Helion-filled CloudTec. Loughborough University study measured reduced onset and duration of muscle soreness vs single-layer trainers.
