Our Verdict

On Cloudboom Strike

Mizuno Wave Rebellion Pro 3

The On Cloudboom Strike and Mizuno Wave Rebellion Pro 3 are both carbon-plated super shoes built for long-distance racing but differ in execution. The On is lighter and more stripped-back, offering a responsive yet less energetic ride with slightly less cushioning, though still generous by racing standards. The Mizuno, in contrast, provides a softer, more cushioned feel and a more energetic midsole, resulting in a more pronounced rolling sensation.
