The Softest Run comes from the way Surreal™ superfoam works together with CloudTec Phase™ to create a softer, more cushioned ride.

Not only is Surreal™ 15% lighter, 15.5% softer and 23.3% more responsive than Helion™, the new computer-optimised geometry of CloudTec Phase™ deepens compression by 15.5%, helping it absorb significantly more impact than the superfoam could on its own.

Surreal™ superfoam is 15.5% softer, 15% lighter and 23.3% more responsive than Helion™. These results are backed by Finite Element Analysis simulations conducted at On Labs in Zurich.

CloudTec Phase™ is the structural engineering within Surreal™ superfoam, the carefully positioned holes we call Clouds. They help absorb more impact and allow for 15.5% deeper compression, and the computer-optimized geometry is designed to compress in sequence as the foot moves, for a 9.9% smoother roll-through.

The Cloudsurfer 3 is a max-cushioned daily running shoe designed for the miles that make up the foundation of a runner’s training: easy runs, recovery runs, long runs and everyday mileage. Surreal™ superfoam and CloudTec Phase® work together to deliver soft, protective cushioning without compromising a smooth, natural sense of movement. Together, they eliminate the harshness and fatigue that can build up over high mileage. Whether you’re building endurance, recovering between harder sessions or simply getting your daily miles in, the Cloudsurfer 3 can help every run feel softer, smoother and more effortless.

We engineered every part of the Cloudsurfer 3 to make daily miles feel easier on the legs. Surreal™ superfoam delivers a cloud-soft, cushioned feel. The reimagined CloudTec Phase™ geometry works with the superfoam to create a smoother roll-through, so each step flows naturally into the next. And the engineered mesh upper adapts to your foot for a breathable, supportive fit that keeps you comfortable mile after mile.

Not yet. The Cloudsurfer 3 fits true to size so if you typically require a wider fit, we recommend trying them on in-store first. A wide-fit version will be available from early 2027.

The Cloudsurfer 3 is designed for road running, so for technical trails and challenging off-road terrain, we recommend exploring some of our dedicated trail shoes here.
