Comparing On Cloud vs Nike running shoes is another really interesting running shoe comparison. Nike is the long time behemoth with so much marketing and experience, while Cloud running is breaking the old school mold.
Over the years, I’ve tested models from both brands to give you some personal insight along with basic shoe details. Hopefully the combination of my trials, plus the info about different shoes will help you make a selection.
We’ve got details on construction, fit, feel, fabric and more. But ultimately it’s really the feel on your foot that’s going to make the decision.
Nike Vs On Cloud Key Differences
On Cloud and Nike offer a lot of similar features and models for all kinds of runners. There are options for moderate to max cushion and overpronation.
I would say neither brand is super high on the list of shoes that ultramarathon runners love, unlike the Hoka.
Nike has been around forever and is a long standing favorite of running stores and distance runners alike.
Meanwhile, On took hold in the triathlon market first and then quickly moved mainstream running.
I break down the differences in more detail below, but here’s a quick overview:
Nike Running Shoes
- More narrow fit, especially in the heel and midsole
- Tend to run smaller in width and length…
