The Cloudmonster 3 Hyper pours On's race-day superfoam — full Helion HF, twenty percent more of it than the first Hyper carried — into the Cloudmonster platform, and deliberately leaves the plate out. On's own line is the honest one: no plate for less impact, to keep legs fresh across high mileage.
It suits you as the plateless super trainer for long runs and tempo days — the same brief as ASICS' Superblast, answered in On's rocker-forward dialect, at a useful 253 g.
It is not the racer and not the budget pick at $220. And if you have never liked the Cloudmonster's opinionated roll, superfoam does not change the shoe's personality — it amplifies it.
