The Cloud Monster was revolutionary for ‪@On-Running‬ and now the long-awaited Monster 2 has landed, it's time to talk about it and answer a few questions:
Is this an upgrade?
How does it compete with the Cloud Surfer 7 or Cloud Eclipse?
Well, check out the review and let me know your thoughts in the comments.

    My favourite new shoetuber! Really also enjoy your training videos, race vlogs and you hanging out with your kids in the forest. Keep it up! 2024 is your year. I just clicked over 200km in the OG Cloudmonster. Initially one of the best and most interesting / poppy rides, but now the foam is pretty much done. Don’t regret the purchase, just saying the magic is gone.

    I have the mizuno wave inspire 20 at the moment. But I'm after something that gives me a bit more forward motion. As a heavy runner (100+kgs) I need something that will still provide some good cushioning and support.

    I’ve been thinking about the durability of the lacing system. You don’t need to outrun the lion - you only need to outrun the other folks on the safari. Same thing here. The laces don’t need to last forever - they only need to last longer than the midsole. I’ve got 400km in my Nimbus 25 and the lacing system is holding up fine. But the midsole is starting to show signs of compression and the outsole has some definite wear. I’ll be replacing the shoes when the midsole stops performing, and at this rate it looks like the laces will still be fine. Great review - keep them coming.

    Great point, i am particularly specific about laces because I have had a few where the laces have broken. Granted it’s. Common issues where the fit needs to be really negotiated and you pull at the laces. I am actually seeing the eyelets in the Saucony ride 17 lifting up because they have similar structures and I that’s definitely not outliving the outsole

    I guess that the most soft cushioning shoes from ON are the Cloud Surfer and Cloud Stratus 3. But these two can be a bit unstable, depending on your needs to support your overpronation. Hopefully, the stability and support of Monster 2 is closer to what the Cloud Eclipse offers : anyone could use neutral or overpronation needs runners !

    Finally figured out what you are getting at in 2 videos about the Nimbus 25 lacing...very strange hypothetical complaint...did you have any actual issues with durability (like the Puma Fast R that you still recommended on your top list lol)?? I have 4 used N25 pairs 2x500km and 2xjust over 200km...no issues with laces but one pair got a hole above a big toe

    The problem I have is this Aubrey. Recently I bought a pair of Adidas Prime X strung. I put them on and the fit felt amazing. Went for a couple of shortish runs, sort of okay. A bit of rubbing toes, but thought it will break in. Then on a 28k long run, the blisters are killing me, my feet are covered in blood. I have to walk home...So when your followers say that shoe reviews over 5-20k are okay they are not. My first impression video of the Adidas Prime X strung., that is after 43k, is it hurts a lot!

    I think this is a valid point, I really do and I argue with it. I would also have to say… shoes are highly personal. I have both prime x strung 1 & 2 and they are literally some of my best running shoes and I have 100K in the PX2 and 45K in v1. Essentially I get your point but initial reviews matter! That reminds me, it’s time for a 100K review on the PX2

    Which shoe would you choose as a daily between the monster 2, eclipse, invincible 3, superblast/novablast and prime x strung 2. I like max cushion with some spring and response at the same time. Gravitating towards monster or superblast and only going away from prime for the crazy price.

    Usually, the weight is a deal breaker to me. It wouldn't matter for the first few miles, but at 308 grams, you would really feel the weight going longer distances. As Edd Bud would say, "it's going to be a nay for me."

    @@AubreyRunning wow, super light, expensive, but interesting. I was about to take your advice to get a pair.. but I have to wait for restocking. Tokyo marathon is just at corner, every race gear is sold out now. I just tried one in shop for m2. It’s heavy and firm( the filling under speedboard not only added weight but a firmer feel). It does give more cushion on toe landing. I didn’t feel much bounce but a more solid firm feel. It’s a lot different from m1 and I think it turned to be a different kind of thing. It’s not bad but different. I would rather keep the old m1 for casual walk rather than a heavier m2. Every brand is moving forward for more cushion. The trend is killing a lot good design.

ON-ly 2 women are wearing ON Cloud Monsters. I pop in wearing my "work" pairs of either the Surfer 7s and Eclipses. They were intrigued seeing how the Cloudtec Phase is always in effect when I'm on the move. So when we were chillin in one of the Ready Rooms.. one of the girls said I love seeing you move.. so I go.. its the shoes. So I told her to try on "just one shoe" and compare. The rest is history. She hopped on her Phone and Ordered a Pair of Eclipses. I told her not to match my colorway. LMAO.. cheers Aubrey. Gotta share you the REAL WORLD experience.
