On Cloudswift 3 Running Shoes

A cushioned, forward-rolling road shoe with dual-density Helion superfoam and a zonal knit upper for an inclusive fit.

Engineered Knit Upper

The newly engineered 360-degree knit upper construction provides you with an adaptive and extremely comfortable fit. The materials supply you with a constant level of airflow, to keep your feet cool and comfortable during intense running sessions. There are strategically placed perforations in the knit upper that will help to ensure feet feel fresh when on the move. Not only this, but moisture-wicking properties will prevent an uncomfortable heat and moisture build-up by removing excess sweat that may arise when feet get warm during training. This updated upper has a revamped design to enhance in-shoe comfort, providing you with an improved fit and even more comfort than its predecessors. The shoes have a sock-like fit, which allows an easy instep, thus providing comfort for a range of foot shapes. Not only this, but the zonal-knit engineering of the upper will ensure that the shoes are comfortable and ready to go straight out of the box, whilst a 3D heel padding further prevents discomfort. An Iconic Swift support cage is present to provide you with a secure midfoot lockdown, whilst also providing support and structure to feet. The aim is to support the midfoot when cornering at pace, as well as serve to dissipate any pressure on the forefoot and heel more effectively when undergoing such manoeuvres. Running through this construction is a traditional lace system, which works to keep the foot locked in and secure, preventing in-shoe slipping from occurring.

Advanced Midsole and Outsole

A re-engineered bottom unit resides underfoot, to cushion your strides across hard surfaces on the road and pavements. The updated CloudTec technology alongside a dual-density Helion superforam provides you with ultra-comfort and confidence on your next run. The CloudTec construction is formed to give you that extra boost you need to take you further and faster. From soft cushioning to the forefoot rocker for a smooth rolling motion, the Cloudswift 3 has established itself as a true “urban running shoe” icon. Advanced cushioning technology, CloudTec, adapts to every runner thanks to multi-directional Cloud elements that react to your unique movements to deliver soft landings alongside a powerful take-off. This cushioning technology is proven to reduce muscle fatigue and lower your heart rate so that you are able to run faster for longer. Made from a dual-density Helion superfoam, the compound provides the shoes with exceptional levels of durability, without added weight or bulk. The construction delivers you a soft underfoot feel, and improved cushioning.

Sandwiched between the top and bottom midsole, the shoes have an injected TPU Speedboard for a dynamic, enhanced energy return and soft underfoot feelings. The Speedboard is a rigid plate that delivers enhanced responsiveness and support during movement, promoting lateral stability and reducing stride momentum loss – essentially reducing the strain and fatigue felt by the muscles of the underfoot. Thanks to the rocker motion, the Cloudswifts provide you with a fun and “swift” forward-rolling sensation. Finally, the shoes utilise reworked rubber pads which help to provide enhanced traction and durability on road and hard-surface runs.
