False, On is the brand. Cloud is the name of some of the models. E.g. On Cloudsurfer 2 is a specific pair.

I jog in them so I don't really care if they are cool or not. I only wear sneakers for running.

My podiatrist told me to wear Hokas. I may look foolish, but walking without pain is worth it.

I purchase this type of shoe for function not fashion, and for me they weren't worth the hype. I prefer Asics.

I love the Cloud 2.0 (bought my first pair in maybe 2017 or 2018?) so much I bought back up pairs and keep looking for that model. Have had luck on eBay and the On site, where they sometimes offer them even now.

I like one model of their hiking shoes, too, but none of the jumbo soled newer models.

I tried them initially because I like Roger Federer.

I think associating a sneaker brand with class is super cringy and low class.

Nurse here. Had a pair and yes they were lightweight, but not at all supportive and I hated them.

Walked by their store in Manhattan last week - there was a short line to get in. No, not a sale or special event, just too many people wanted to enter the store. The people in that line looked to be in their 30s and reasonably good looking.
