Ordered a pair each of the 15/10 on the recent release, and they are phenomenal. As a diehard Dragonfly user, I was really skeptical. Im really shocked at what I’ve found, ti be honest. Unfortunately, they’re basically unobtainable again from what I’ve heard. Perhaps another release this summer?
How are they when directly compared to the dragonflies? I’m still waiting for my pair to arrive

I’d say a little bit more responsive than the DFs. They’re a little bit less “mushy”, if that makes sense.
An underdog of the 5k at the German champs got spontaneously On spikes offered before the race and won as a surprise.
Just got mine… they’re legitimately better than the dragonflies. At 5k-3200 pace I felt like I “sunk into” the dragonfly and then got a pop as my foot left the ground. With the cloudspike (10000) I felt the foam compress slightly but the pop was significantly larger. I felt like I was being launched and my stride was longer at the same pace. At faster paces the difference is there but less noticeable. The upper of the cloud spike is quite supportive for a spike which usually I don’t like because of weight but it is only slightly heavier than the dragonfly and the fit feels more locked in and protected so fair game. Definitely order half size down however. In conclusion I would choose the ON over the dragonfly for all distances and xc because the outsole is slightly gripper and upper feels more durable.
