On Cloud 6 “Pearl White”: soft white that goes with everything

With the On Running Cloud 6 Womens “Pearl White” (stylecode 3WF10060755), On brings one of its best-known everyday models in a soft, pearly white finish. A women’s sneaker that primarily exudes a sense of calm — and that may well be its greatest strength.

Some sneakers rely on bold colors or eye-catching details. The Cloud 6 takes the opposite approach. This “Pearl White” version keeps everything light and understated, which I think suits what this model is designed for: wearing often, without any hassle.

Why pearl white works so well

Pearl white is just a little softer than bright white. As a result, it looks friendlier and less clinical, and in my experience, a shade like this is also a bit more forgiving in everyday use. White is still white, of course — you’ll need to clean it from time to time — but the warmer undertone makes the overall look less sensitive to every little scuff. When it comes to styling, you really don’t have to think about it: this works with virtually everything in your wardrobe, from jeans to dresses.

Would I wear them myself? Yes, especially on days when I’ll be on my feet a lot. On has built a reputation for comfort with the Cloud line, and this sixth installment is clearly made for people who keep their sneakers on all day. It’s not a shoe you buy to stand out, but one you buy because you don’t want to have to think about it.

What does it cost?

On generally sits in the mid-range and slightly above, though prices can vary considerably from one retailer to another. At the moment, this version starts at [sz_price_from stylecode=”3WF10060755″]. Especially with a popular color like white, it’s worth checking which stores still have your size, as that’s often where the real difference lies.

My conclusion

The Cloud 6 “Pearl White” is a no-frills sneaker, and I mean that in a positive way. It’s light in color, focused on comfort and easy to style. If you’re looking for a white sneaker with a slightly softer appearance than the standard version, and one that should feel comfortable throughout a long day, this edition is well worth adding to your list. If you prefer a more distinctive color, you’re better off looking elsewhere in the Cloud line — there’s plenty to choose from.
