Why We Love This Deal Finding a lifestyle sneaker that can keep up with holiday travel, slammed workdays, the gym, and date night is rare. Most are too sporty or are better looking than they are functional, which is why many have found their way into a pair of On sneakers. The Swiss brand has all but perfected athleisure footwear in 2025, and right now, one of its best go-between sneakers is a rare $60 off at Nordstrom. The On Cloudnova 2 Sneakers are now $110 at Nordstrom, a 35% discount off their regular price of $170, and a better deal than what’s currently listed on the On site. With 83% of reviews coming in at a perfect 5-star rating (among the 100 submitted), it’s clear to see why guys are making the switch to this versatile pair of kicks. On Cloudnova 2 Sneakers, From $110 (was $170) at Nordstrom What Shoppers Should Know Colors: 6; 1 on sale Sizes: 7 to 14 (9 to 14 for this colorway) Type: Lifestyle, training Weight: 314.6 grams Heel to Toe Drop: 14mm The Cloudnova 2 infuses On’s sports DNA into a lifestyle sneaker, which makes it more cushioned and stable than the now iconic classic Cloud sneaker, and it’s also sleeker looking and lighter than both the Cloudmonster and Cloudsurfer. They’re designed for guys who need a single pair for logging miles and running errands. Injected with On’s Zero-Gravity foam and featuring a 14mm heel-to-toe drop, these shoes offer a slightly thicker underfoot for maximum shock absorption. The Speedboard plate ensures they’re responsive while maximizing stability, ideal for those who are on their feet all day. The Cloudnova 2s are about as well-rounded a model as you’ll find from On—a smooth-wearing trainer with the sporty look of a casual sneaker. Basically, they’re the daily driver you’ll enjoy if you live an active lifestyle, and you won’t have to sacrifice style. What Shoppers Are Saying Many agree that these shoes prioritize comfort but look far nicer than the average gym shoes. One who tried them noted that they are “incredibly lightweight and breathable—perfect for both everyday wear and gym workouts.” They used them for cardio, walking, and even running short errands, noting how “it feels like walking on air—great cushioning without the bulk.” Another referred to them as “Super Novas,” and even with an already established collection of On shoes, these were a welcome addition. On sneakers like these don’t see markdowns north of 30% off often at all, and when they do, sizes are usually all but gone. That’s why this deal is a steal. Grab your pair before it’s gone.
