A sneaker you can wear just as easily in October as in May: the On Running Cloudvista 2 Waterproof “Black Eclipse” (3ME30140106) is made for the climate we actually live in. Black with dark grey, waterproof, and with enough design appeal to hold its own beyond the forest trail.
In recent years, On has evolved from a running brand into a familiar presence on the streets, and models like the Cloudvista show why. Its silhouette has that modern, technical profile that pairs well with the functional side of contemporary menswear. This Waterproof version adds the most important selling point for the Dutch climate: dry feet.
Practical without being boring
Let’s be honest: many waterproof shoes look like they belong with a rain suit. The Cloudvista 2 avoids that trap. The “Black Eclipse” colorway is dark and streamlined, making it look more like a modern lifestyle runner than outdoor gear. You get functionality here without compromising on style.

Styling: lean into the technical look
A shoe like this calls for outfits with a functional edge. Think black or anthracite cargo pants, technical trousers with zip details, or simply a pair of straight-leg dark jeans. Up top: a hoodie, fleece, or shell jacket. The overall look can feel utilitarian — that’s exactly where this type of shoe works best in an autumn or winter outfit.
What works less well: tailored trousers and wool coats. The Cloudvista has outdoor DNA, and always will. Wear it where that DNA is an advantage, not where it needs to be disguised.
Who is this the right purchase for?
For the man looking for one pair of shoes for the commute, walking the dog, weekends, and that festival where it’s guaranteed to rain. The combination of a waterproof construction and an entirely dark colorway makes this one of the most worry-free sneakers you can buy: no stress about stains, no wet socks, no style panic. If you live in the city and walk or cycle a lot, this pair will be more useful in practice than three trendier alternatives that stay at home at the first sign of rain.
Compare smartly
On models sit in the higher price segment, and that’s exactly when every price difference between retailers matters. The Waterproof versions also aren’t always widely available.
