Today is the last day of the National Football League season, 2024–2025. Who ya got? If you're reading this early enough, there's plenty of time for you to process what we're getting ready to share with you.....then grab your snacks, beverages, and hunker down to enjoy the $8 million commercials and Kendrick Lamar concert (should've been Lil' Wayne in my opinion). Oh.....and the game!
The sequel to the extremely popular, extremely comfortable On Cloudsurfer returns. And we received the green light to bring it to you 4 days before it's official release. If you pay close attention during tonight's broadcast, you may even see the shoes on one of sport's G.O.A.T.s. I'm not going to name the sport; you'll just have to pay attention. But if you act now, if/when you see them Sunday evening, you can turn to your Super Bowl party teammates and say "Oh, I already have those. Got' em online EARLY from Philadelphia Runner!"
Speaking of teammates, Ryan Fennelly gives us a proper rundown of the new Surfer: "This shoe has a much better fit and feel vs. the previous version and will fit a wider range of [runners]. The Cloudsurfer 2 has a slightly firmer cushioning using an updated CloudTec Phase + Helion midsole, features a more breathable and accommodating upper, and sits on a slightly wider base."
In addition to flexing on your friends this Sunday, and hopefully the following Wednesday/Thursday on Broad Street, you'll like the On Cloudsurfer 2 for cushioned, yet responsive, daily runs and weekend long distance mileage. The shoe, the most cushioned in the On lineup, was created for the everyday, any day runners like us who are looking effortless running experiences in a comfortable, lightweight package. Oh, and for the aforementioned Greatest Of All Time as this athlete helps with the global debut of the Cloudsurfer 2 in front of a casual 120 million or so humans.
If you want the chance to say "I have them early, you know I have a connect (ahem, Philly Runner)" click RIGHT HERE, or on any of the pictures in this article, and buy them now!
Good luck today, and tonight!
