Expert Review Sources

  • RunRepeat : 82.6 / 100 — « The Cloudswift 3 is a masterclass in balancing heritage and innovation—it features all the bells and whistles of a next-gen shoe, yet still stays true to its On roots. Though upgrades to the cushioning system and upper construction immensely improved its performance, in our opinion, the foam still feels too firm underfoot. All in all, they're a solid pair of daily trainers for both longtime fans and modern runners alike. »

A smart choice for runners looking for a 9.7 mm drop and consistent performance all season long. »
