Our deepest apologies for this train wreck of a first thoughts. Recycling day gets wild in Baltimore. (Midsole stack is 37/31 btw, wasn't confirmed until after the video. Also 10 oz/285 g for a US M9).
The chaos of this first thoughts was hilarious. Your full video reviews, written reviews and podcasts are normally so well put together, so I always enjoy the freeform weirdness that these first thoughts often bring.
I agree with Robbe, it feels like a cloudmonster with a different less aggresive mm drop. Was expecting cloudsurfer level squish but maxxed but that wasn't the case.
I think the next time you guys get to the end of the block, you should start walking backwards, and Meg (or whoever is on camera) can walk forward. I’m sure it wouldn’t add that much more shenanigans and tomfoolery, right?
Seems most people reviewing this shoe are not crazy about the upper. This shoe looks great on paper, if the upper is fixed in version 2 it might be amazing.
I don’t like “soft and gushy” (quoting). I love the Cloudsurfer. I hate the More4. Sounds interesting but I don’t need much more cush than the Cloudsurfer and I also have the Brooks Ghost Max and some Saucony Speeds so I think I’m covered for my required level of cush. I can’t watch these without laughing. Good catch, Robbe. Note that I always spell your name right, unlike some…*ahem*
Love your videos gang! Are you planning to do a video about best/your choice of weatherproof running shoes? It’s that time of the year and my slippy Hoka ATR 6 GTX are beaten up, need new pair by end of this year 😉😁
I think Robbe has something wrong with him 😂 I don't know how he could run in this and not feel that it is comfy and cushioned like a max cushioning. It is certainly plush and I HATE On Running shoes. The Boston 12 is way harder than this shoe
As with all onclouds so far. To me it feels like they started with a gimmick. And have tried to make incorperate that gimmick into a running shoe. It just doesnt really translate.

Its ok i prefer the chaos
It was fun - it was entertaining - what did you say again 😉🤣
I actually love this!

We're framing this comment
I feel like we need a roundup video of Robbe's hats of the year, another epic choice here.
First “First Thoughts” I’ve seen from y’all. Big fan of this chaotic energy balancing out the analytical, planned, and scripted full reviews.
Oh, buckle up, you're in for a wild ride
I agree with Robbe, it feels like a cloudmonster with a different less aggresive mm drop. Was expecting cloudsurfer level squish but maxxed but that wasn't the case.
I tried this today. I really didn’t care for On of a couple years ago, but with the Stratus 3 and then this one, they are winning me over.
I enjoyed the chaos of this preliminary review.
Good morning. I don´t like big, max cushion but Like to Thomas and Robbe. A nice friday for everyone.
To be compared to the boston 12’s is a pretty high praise IMO!
Please keep this energy in future videos
Loving this outdoor review🫡
I totally love the energy of this First Impression Videos. Just Shows that they love what they do. keep it up! more power! 💯💯💯
Hope to get Thomas' unedited opinion on the Speedboard in the full review
My thoughts: I expected a more cushioned cloudsurfer but instead felt like a firmer cloudmonster.
High volume upper (like the monster)
I love the shoe I have tested it today good training shoe for long miles it will also last me longer 😊
I love these first impressions hahahaha. Reminds me of the podcast. Save the serious for the full review

The chaos in these first thoughts gives me life
Don't expect this shoe to feel like the Cloudsurfer. I found it stiffer than the Cloudmonster. Except for the heel strike, the shoe is stiff.
Seems most people reviewing this shoe are not crazy about the upper. This shoe looks great on paper, if the upper is fixed in version 2 it might be amazing.
Best.First.Impression.Ever
yeah, that reminds me of the old school torsion bar on adidas zx 9000’s
Oh that's why you justpublished the February content
If it’s a “max” anything… then the next question is… is it BIG.DUDE.APPROVED?🤔👊🏼

When you do your review of 2023 this HAS to make the cut as your most CHAOTIC First Thoughts of the year. 😅
Most unhinged first thoughts ever! Love it!
How does this shoe compare to the cloudsurfer?
Hi does the weight difference between this and cloudsurfer noticeable? and is this one more firmer? Love your review
Love the hat!
this shoe reminds robbie of a shoes with laces.
you can wear it
Love your videos gang! Are you planning to do a video about best/your choice of weatherproof running shoes? It’s that time of the year and my slippy Hoka ATR 6 GTX are beaten up, need new pair by end of this year 😉😁
We'll see what we can put together! Unfortunately don't get a ton of those shoes but we'll try and do one
Potential Glideride 3 replacement with no GR4 in sight? 😢
Heard they are more than 40mm and they have a 2nd speed board
WE NEED A V.S. VIDEO A.S.A.P. OF the ON ECLIPSE V.S ADIDAS SWITCH FWD WOULD GREAT BATTLE IN MY BELIEF..AND WOULD BE FIRST TO DO SO..EXCEPT TO SEE THIS
what happened to the bat afterwards? 🦇
Stay tuned...
“Throw me the big boy” 😂 Is Robbe always funny or just when you put a camera on him?
Always
Stability shoe?
Which way did he go? Which way did he go?
I wonder how many people watch these as a comedy show and know nothing about shoes
hhmmm ?? Wild first impressions
Looks identical to the surfer but with a taller stack height, but it’s less cushioned? Can you clarify?
Apparently Robbe is the only one who thinks it's less cushioned, maybe the marathon nerves are getting to him
In what world does Robbe think a shoe is more firm than Meg? Unprecedented times.
It's flummoxing
The clouds of my On shoes didn't last long. IMO, this brand is totally overhyped and not worth the money.
Lol - Squirrel!
Please don’t ever hire an outside editor 😂😂😂
I think Robbe has something wrong with him 😂 I don't know how he could run in this and not feel that it is comfy and cushioned like a max cushioning. It is certainly plush and I HATE On Running shoes. The Boston 12 is way harder than this shoe
We're all confused
The On shoes are too wide for my average foot, and the uppers are hot and too thick. On must think most people have huge feet.
When two embarrassing Dads walk down the street 😂
As with all onclouds so far. To me it feels like they started with a gimmick. And have tried to make incorperate that gimmick into a running shoe. It just doesnt really translate.
What a,horrible shoe
