On’s back with a new, more sustainably-made version of its daily trainer, the Cloudsurfer 2. The brand decided to restart the series last year with the seventh iteration, which meant that this year’s eighth iteration is called Cloudsurfer 2.
As noted by many reviewers, it makes sense for the Swiss running shoe giant to restart the numbering; the original Cloudsurfer, which came out in 2012 and was much firmer than the newer models. They could’ve just kept going with the numbering to emphasise the heritage of the shoes, but they didn’t – what can you do?
