ON x PAF

On x PAF: The Future of Techwear by Swiss Engineers and Post Archive Faction

The exclusive collaboration between Swiss icon On and South Korean avant-garde brand Post Archive Faction (PAF) represents the pinnacle of contemporary performance sportswear and high street fashion, available at Footshop. This scientific-aesthetic fusion breaks the boundaries between purely technical running gear and deconstructed architecture. It combines precise Swiss research on cushioning systems with the unique vision of PAF founder Dongjoon Lim, known for asymmetrical layering, curved seams, and conceptual organic aesthetics.

Design Language and Technological Innovations

The On x PAF collection offers a fresh perspective on running shoes and technical apparel, where every detail serves both functional and visual purposes:

• Reimagined Silhouettes (e.g., Cloudmonster 2 PAF or Cloudventure): Established silhouettes from On have undergone a complete redesign. They feature asymmetrical lacing, smoothly curved anatomical lines, and deconstructed panels that mimic the natural structure of muscles and tendons.
• Pioneering Cushioning CloudTec® and Helion™: Despite their radical avant-garde appearance, the shoes retain their running DNA. The massive Helion™ foam midsole combined with CloudTec® technology ensures an extremely soft landing and immediate energy return.
• Organic Textures and Color Palette: The collection is characterized by muted, earthy, and futuristic monochromatic shades – from chalky white to lunar gray and deep black. The fabrics used combine ultra-light ripstop, transparent mesh, and reflective elements.
• Capsule Clothing Collection: In addition to footwear, the collaboration also features technical jackets, pants, and running tank tops with laser-cut ventilation integrated into the asymmetrical PAF patterns.
