On Cloudboom Echo 3 | FULL REVIEW | Rolling Thunder

[@SW-rn6fe]

You might forget the shoe on foot, but not the price.

[@hufemeve]

as always, ON cloud shoes are truly well designed, very fashionable, very aesthetically pleasing, and now performing quite well....... but at that price tag is a big fat NO to ON

[@RunForPeace-hk1cu]

ON always goes after the high end. You are paying for the styling. But it's shoes. Some people like fashionable shoes. Can't blame that on people. People spend thousands of dollars on fancy sneakers, so this is no different. It is a very attractive looking shoe.

[@kcire5006]

I’d be interested if it in the $200 ballpark, but this costs more than the Adios Pro 3 and the Vaporfly 3, absolutely ridiculous

[@Loveall247]

Even more then the Alphafly. Just because you put the price up on something doesn’t make it great. $225 should of been the price.

[@supwell]

$40 premium on this vs the Vaporfly seems unjustified. It works for them to price this way for daily trainers like the Monster and Surfer since they get halo from the suburban fashion cachet. But race day buyers looking for high-end performance are completely different. I'm interested to see how this sells at $290

[@brucemihalick4117]

I'm not a big ON fan, but it's a great review once again. Meg, I think my husband and I saw you this morning and yesterday morning running on the promenade. Happy Running!!

[@ThatRunnerAaron]

Don’t see how you can go for this over the takumi Sen for the price if it’s for the 5-10k distance

[@mouahmong]

Question would be, would it still be a green if they had to buy it?

[@manuel_877]

Good morning. Like to Meaghan and Thomas. $290= Crazy expensive. I have the Hoka carbon x3. A nice monday for everyone. 🌞🏃🌞

[@javierrodriguezzaurin7270]

Hellen Obiri wore the (upcoming, I guess) On CloudTri 1 🙂. Just saying. In fact if they actually launch that one anytime soon I really dont see the point of the cloudboom echo 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@jkhoudini]

Did Helen wear these or the tri? She won Boston wearing the tri.

[@ThatRunnerAaron]

Yeah she did win Boston in the Tri, but won the BAA 10k in the cloudboom

[@kalvin.]

You’re gonna save even more weight on this shoe from how empty your wallet will be 😅 Love the duality between Thomas and Meg in terms of personality

[@lancec3509]

I'm always amazed that a male who might weigh 170lbs (2,720 oz) is so concerned over 1 oz on the end of his foot. I get the chasing lightness as I've raced bicycles, but your weight fluctuates well more than 2 ounces throughout the day. 1 oz per shoe is statistically "in the noise"

[@Hurts4MVP1]

DO NOT, ZOOM INTO our faces.....ZOOMES IN. 🤣😂

[@UFRooster]

How many miles can you get out of these? I realize it’s a race day shoe but would enjoy hearing real-life numbers.

[@SofaKingA]

The shoe looks really sleek. But yeah $300...

[@gymtard]

I saw this comment while the video was loading and immediately just closed the video out

[@stenna9274]

Thomas’ anaconda killed me. 😂😂😂

[@antonioromulodelcarmen283]

300USD?!?!… Hard Pass. Can’t feel great wearing these shoes and seeing a lot of people passing me on races wearing Kinvaras, Pegasus, Floatrides and Rebels. Keeps me grounded and reminds me that it’s the training and NOT the shoes.

[@matthiassventoest6800]

love the use of the English language.. science-y even. I can’t do any shoe over $250…, so it’s a no for me. Maybe if o was ballin’ ..as opposed to “ballin’ on a budget”, maybe I could get down with these.

[@NicoI]

Best ON to date ?

[@alexkhan2000]

Looks good and I'm sure it's nice, but it's a hard pass at $290+tax. I'll save that money for the upcoming Alphafly 3 and/or Prime X Strung 2.

[@brendalogan3784]

Holy price!!!!

[@Mojavehixon]

i mean - your feet sweat A LOT so...is this going to keep the sweat in?

[@nevilmarquez6366]

Great review. But I will only pay that amount for a super shoe or going pro

[@TheBsheep]

This shoe is too expensive. On top off that I've heard On represenatives say they recommend it's best to use it for 4 marathons before the midsole start losing it's responsiveness.

[@FergusHodgson]

So many people are butthurt about the price. I find this strange, considering the overall cost of most races: travel, accommodation, nutrition, entry, etc. An extra $50 for precision shoes over a handful of races is not a big deal, especially with the level of inflation in the economy. If you are a penny-pincher, On shoes are not for you.

[@wonkydonkey7899]

“Just don’t zoom in?” It’s not like we can see your pores or anything 😂

[@madfemurfast]

For 300 dollars I can buy many shoes that will let me run the same, as I do not think, for me, the 3 seconds I will improve, are worth the money.

[@Acejustforalaugh]

Agh. What's another 50 balloons. Life is short. Go for it ! 😊

[@macoyupadoodle]

It is a looker , but the price is a big no . Also, the outsole does not last (seen in other reviews).

[@MidLifeRunner]

I would support a yellow from Thomas if he wanted to factor in the price. 😂

[@muscfiorentina]

Friends don’t let friends run in on clouds

[@ChristianRunsNY]

Yikes on the price 😳

[@antidepressants9232]

Just wait for the discounts....300 USD is a no...even if it was twice as good as the vaporfly.

[@ThatRunnerAaron]

Also, doesn’t the shoebox this shoe comes in say it’s good for 4 marathons? I mean goddamn

[@TheRollingBacon]

I'm so glad to hear how much everyone is not going for these shoes. More chances of snagging a pair 🤞

[@Loveall247]

More chances for them to realize the price was too high to begin with.

[@TheRollingBacon]

@RobertoRomero-yr3id That's true too. I've been looking forward to this shoe for a long time now, and that period of waiting has made me realize how many carbon racers I've been hoarding. Sold all of them off in anticipation for this, so while it's pricey, I know I'm going to enjoy it so much more once it's finally on my feet :)

[@TheRollingBacon]

@RobertoRomero-yr3id Plus, On Running has been building up running culture in so many big ways through the OAC, community centered races, and just really well designed and great quality apparel and shoes that I wouldn't mind spending a bit more as investment to a great company.

[@SeoulMan2020]

Just picked up a pair of New Balance Super Comp Elite v3 for $100… hard pass on On.. $289 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@roostermiller]

The kinvara 14 is lighter than this shoe

[@TimNguyen825]

Their carbon road racer is expensive and their carbon track spike is expensive. They just be really really good to justify that price

[@danielburton6221]

Crazy expensive !!!

[@TOXIN543]

insane, right ?

[@wonkydonkey7899]

@@TOXIN543beyond words!

[@Loveall247]

$300 plus with tax for a pair of shoes that aren’t even best in class. Give that a red light!

[@wonkydonkey7899]

I don’t think this shoe will sell well for $300 plus tax in general public, unless you’re living large and money is no object to you.

[@TheBsheep]

On top of that I've heard On representatives say they recommend it's best to use it for 4 marathons before the midsole start losing it's responsiveness!

[@wonkydonkey7899]

@@TheBsheep I’ll pass on this shoe. What do ON take us for? Bill Gates or Elon Musk? There are better options out there in the plated running shoe world.

[@ThatRunnerAaron]

@@TheBsheepit says that on the shoebox 😂

[@wonkydonkey7899]

@@ThatRunnerAaron lmao who would in their right mind buy a $300 plus shoe for only 4 marathons? ON is sort of insinuating that after those marathons, you should give me more money for another pair.

[@bobotmeister]

If it was durable... I can take the price. Its competition against nike and adidas would last longer and is cheaper.

[@Jambr380]

Tom’s anaconda lol 😂

[@EricS-uf9mv]

$300 for a pair of ON's. $430 for a pair of Satisfy shorts. Folks, the running space is just getting stupid.

[@winner1338]

I've had 3 shoes from On. And all of them score very bad for durable.

[@VinceCabahug]

Got it for 230 USD

[@Re1ampag0]

How much? Hell no!

[@nicholas5396]

$3 a mile....

[@WePiphany]

Zero chance at $300 after tax. ½ price shoes are better.

[@WePiphany]

I’ll add, I’ve run two races in Vaporfly v2 and also will not buy them again.

[@dvdpfstr1971]

$300! 🤣😂🤣😂 Nope.
