On Cloud was founded by former Swiss triathlete Olivier Bernhard, a three-time world duathlon champion, who sought the perfect running shoe after retiring. Frustrated by the lack of options, he teamed up with David Allemann and Caspar Coppetti to create CloudTec, a revolutionary sole that offers soft landings and powerful take-offs. Olivier’s drive for innovation, rooted in his elite racing career, turned On Cloud into a global leader in performance footwear, blending Swiss engineering with comfort.
