Fall is a good time to rotate in a fresh pair of sneakers, and the On Cloudnova 2 is a pair of sneakers that will keep you comfortable without looking like gym gear. Nordstrom has them for $170, including in the ice and mulberry colorway that feels right for the season.
The On Cloudnova 2 is one of On’s most popular shoes. It’s designed for people who want one shoe that can move with them through morning miles, afternoon errands, and even into the office. At $170 at Nordstrom, it’s a premium sneaker designed to blend performance and style.
People love On running, training, and walking shoes for their combination of precise Swiss engineering and eye for aesthetic detail. Reviews mention the On Cloudnova 2’s versatility, saying they can “wear them for errands and walks,” because “they look sharp but feel like a running shoe.” That’s a perfect combination for Portland’s casual vibe.
One thing to note though: the On Cloudnova 2 runs more narrow than Hoka running shoes, so if you have wider feet, consider ordering a half-size up.
The On Cloudnova 2’s design uses On’s CloudTec cushioning for soft landings paired with a Speedboard plate for subtle spring. It’s supportive enough for shorter runs yet comfortable as a lifestyle sneaker. A flexible knit upper adapts to movement, while padded heel tabs make them easy to wear all day without rubbing.
The new ice and mulberry colorway adds a pop of seasonal contrast without being over the top, making it just as easy to pair with jeans as running shorts. For those who want one shoe that works across workouts and weekends, the On Cloudnova 2 covers both in a clean, minimalist package with a colorway that’s perfect for fall.
