I compared the US price of the Year of the Horse Cloudmonster Void and China's reseller market is wild

Why these 2026 Year of the Horse sneakers are on my wishlist

I have been tracking the latest us trends lately, and nothing has caught my eye quite like the On Cloudmonster Void 'Year of the Horse' Edition. This isn't just another colorway; it's a 2026 Lunar New Year special that On decided to release exclusively in the United States. The ivory and sand base with those subtle gold accents looks incredibly clean, especially compared to the usual loud holiday releases we see every year.

More about shipping to China

While the brand is blowing up in Hong Kong and Shanghai, this specific drop is staying stateside. I noticed that my friends in HK are already paying a premium just to get pairs through unofficial channels. For me, the appeal is the combination of the CloudTec cushioning and the unique zodiac branding that isn't available at my local mall. I knew I had to find a way to get them without getting fleeced by resellers.

The massive price gap between US retail and China resellers

I did some quick math and the results were pretty shocking. In the US, the retail price for the Cloudmonster Void 'Year of the Horse' is sitting around $180 USD. However, when I checked the secondary market and specialized import shops in China, the prices were climbing past $400 USD. We are talking about a 100% markup just for a regional exclusive.

By using a freight forwarder, I realized I could pay the US retail price and just cover the international shipping, which is significantly cheaper than paying the reseller's premium. Even with shipping costs, I am still saving over $150. That is basically enough to buy a second pair of standard Cloudmonsters if I wanted to.

My step-by-step for buying from US stores

The first hurdle I hit was that many US retailers don't accept international credit cards or ship directly to China. To get around this, I used a tax-free us address provided by comGateway. This allowed me to shop at US stores as if I were living in Oregon, which also saved me from paying any US sales tax at checkout.

If you find that your card keeps getting declined at US checkout, I highly recommend looking into the BuyForMe service. I used this for a previous drop where the store was being difficult with my billing address. They basically act as a proxy shopper for you, which takes all the stress out of the purchase. Once the shoes arrived at my US suite, I was notified immediately and could prepare them for their journey to China.

Shipping estimates and logistics for China

Before I committed to the purchase, I made sure to use the shipping calculator to get a rough idea of the final cost. Here is the breakdown of what I found for a standard pair of On sneakers:

I always suggest keeping the original shoebox if you are a collector, but if you want to save a little more on shipping, you can ask to have the shoes shipped in a smaller polybag, though I wouldn't risk it with a limited edition like this.

What to know about import rules and fees

Shipping sneakers into China in 2026 requires a bit of foresight. I always make sure that my total order value stays within the reasonable limits for personal use to avoid unnecessary delays at customs. It is also a good idea to check our guide on prohibited items just to stay updated on the latest 2026 regulations for personal imports.

Generally, for a single pair of shoes, the process is straightforward. I chose a shipping method that provides clear tracking so I can watch my 'Year of the Horse' Cloudmonsters make their way from the US warehouse to my doorstep. Dealing with the logistics myself felt much more rewarding than just overpaying a reseller, and now I have a unique pair of kicks that very few people in my city will have.
