When first slipping on a pair of Cloud X, it’s immediately noticeable and surprising how lightweight they are, considering the amount of cushioning and support they provide. The distinctive-looking outsole is designed to cushion your feet softly on impact but then firm up and provide a solid base from which you can push off powerfully with each stride. The moulded heel cap locks your feet down to prevent any movement inside, while conforming nicely to the shape of your heel and achilles to create a super comfortable and stable fit. The upper fabric is strong and durable yet light, making the shoes feel incredibly supportive without restricting movement or making the shoe feel like it’s too slim. Made to be airy, the meshed fabric is super breathable and gives a light and minimalist sensation considering the amount of support it gives. There’s a reason On has become a popular choice in the running world and one of our ‘Hero’ products in such a short time.

The Asics Accelerate jacket makes all the difference between heading out for a bad weather run and staying home on the sofa. Fully waterproof and windproof, it boasts an impressive waterproof rating of 10,000 mm, thanks to its sealed seams and a storm flap designed to withstand harsh conditions out on the jogging path. It does this without impacting breathability, actively wicking moisture to keep you cool, dry and fresh underneath, even during intense runs. Made from a lightweight polyester weave, it is soft on the skin and impressively quiet compared to some jackets known to produce noise with each stride. It has thumb holes, knitted cuffs, and an adjustable hood to protect against the elements when needed, and the reflective details ensure that you’re seen at night for extra safety out on the roads. One chest and two waist pockets provide the finishing touches, making this light and durable outer as practical as it is technical. An essential item for just about every runner, we are confident in selecting the Asics Accelerate Jacket as one of our ‘Hero’ products.
