On Cloudtilt Black: the all-black walking sneaker
The On Cloudtilt is a sneaker from the Swiss brand On, designed for long days in the city. In black, it is their most requested colorway.
Place a light-colored Cloudtilt next to a black one. The first catches the eye; the second blends into any outfit. The design of these shoes is chunky and highly technical, with a sculpted sole that never goes unnoticed. In black, this silhouette becomes more understated.
It becomes a true everyday pair that works just as well with raw denim at the office as it does with joggers on a Sunday. In fact, it is the black On Cloudtilt that our customers ask for first in-store, often before even mentioning their size.
Here, we are talking about color. For information on the technology (Cloudtec Phase, Helion superfoam), sole design, and all technical specifications, everything is detailed in the collection that brings together all On Cloudtilt shoes.
The essentials in a few lines:
-
Three black options in the catalog: Remix Black, Black Eclipse, and Moon Black.
-
True to size, quick to slip on, and go half a size up for wide feet.
-
Shoes designed for walking, not running.
-
Home delivery or free in-store pickup in Toulouse, Biarritz, and Montpellier.
Available black variations
Four pairs of shoes in the catalog, spread across three references, all in black. On our products, you will come across color names like Black, Eclipse Black, or Moon. Here is what they change in concrete terms. On these shoes, the upper and sole remain those of the original model: only the colors evolve.

Cloudtilt Remix Black
The most requested one. Deep black mesh upper, flexible material, no superfluous details. The mesh allows the foot to breathe, even after a full day. It exists in both men's and women's, making it the easiest black version to find in your size. To understand what the Remix brings to the original model, head over to the Cloudtilt Remix collection.
Cloudtilt Black Eclipse
Here, the black is nuanced. The Eclipse colorway gives depth to the upper, with a look that is less "flat" than an all-black when the light hits it. Designed for women, the Cloudtilt Eclipse Black is aimed at those who want dark shoes without falling into the "uniform" look. Honestly, it's our favorite.
Cloudtilt Moon Black
The most sophisticated edition of the lot, a black color produced in small quantities in a women's fit. Looking for the black pair that no one else in the office will have? This is it. Sizes go fast: if yours is available, it's better to add to the cart without waiting.
Solid black or black and white: which to choose
The question comes up every week in the shop. Solid black wins on versatility: it withstands rain, sidewalk dust, and dark outfits, and the rubber on the sole stays looking clean for much longer.
A black and white On Cloudtilt plays a different card. The light sole lightens the silhouette and highlights the shoe's relief. More style, but also more maintenance (a white sole needs frequent cleaning). Fashion-wise, both colors work well with wide-leg pants or cargo pants.

Completing a rotation that is already dark |
Our opinion: for a single walking pair, go for black. Do you already have dark shoes? The white On Cloudtilt will add a different color to your rotation.
How do On Cloudtilts fit
Good news: the Cloudtilt fits true to size, for both men and women.
A small detail, however. The quick-lacing system (elastic laces tightened with one motion) and a sock-like fit provide a fairly snug hold. Here is the method we use in the store, and it applies to all colors:
-
Slim or standard foot: your usual size.
-
Wide foot: go up half a size.
-
Between two sizes? In that case, choose the larger size.
-
Women's models: follow the brand's women's size chart.
Trying them on with your usual socks remains the best test. And a look at the size guide and information on each product page before confirming your purchase will save you an exchange.
Walking or running with a Cloudtilt
We often see them on the docks on Sunday, at a light jog. Bad idea. The brand On designed these shoes for walking, and their cushioning aims for everyday comfort, not lap times. Generous cushioning, thanks to Helion superfoam, which makes a difference after 10,000 steps.

Is the Cloudtilt suitable? |
|---|---|
|
City walks |
Yes, it's its playground |
|
Long days on your feet |
Yes |
|
Travels with 15,000 steps |
Yes |

Running |
No, choose a dedicated running model |
For running, On has other models designed for that, such as the Cloudmonster or the Cloudsurfer. In short, the "Cloudtilt running shoe" doesn't really exist, and it's better that way.
How much does a black On Cloudtilt cost
The price depends on the reference, not the color. From the most accessible to the rarest:
-
Remix Black: the entry point for the selection.
-
Black Eclipse: just above, for its more sophisticated colorway.
-
Moon Black: limited production, high demand, and a price that follows.
During our drops and sales, we like to offer certain pairs at a discount. Keep an eye out if you're not in a hurry.

Frequently asked questions about the black On Cloudtilt
How do On Cloudtilts fit?
Cloudtilts fit true to size: keep your usual size. The quick-lacing and sock-style fit grip the foot well. For a wide foot or if you are between two sizes, choose the half-size up.
What is the price of a black On Cloudtilt?
It varies according to the reference, excluding occasional discounts. The Remix Black is the most accessible, the Moon edition the most expensive, due to its limited production.
What is the difference between the Cloudtilt and the Cloudtilt Remix?
The Remix is a variation of the original model, with the same purpose: comfortable walking. It features a few design improvements, detailed on the Remix page.
What do reviews say about the black Cloudtilt?
Two points of feedback come back: the comfort of these shoes from the first day and the ease of wearing black with everything, both for fashion and at the office. The only downside is a tight fit for wide feet.
Is the Cloudtilt made for running?
No, the Cloudtilts are walking shoes. For your running outings, choose a dedicated model.
Do the Cloudtec Phase and Helion superfoam change on the black version?
No. The Cloudtec Phase technology and Helion foam are identical on all Cloudtilts, in black as in white, thanks to a common base. Find the technical information for the model on its main page.
