POST ARCHIVE FACTION On Cloudboom Next

This is no overstatement: On Running and POST ARCHIVE FASHION have the best collaborative partnership in the running shoe game. The two next-generation brands have joined forces to create something truly unique to the union, bridging Dongjoon Lim and Sookyo Jeong’s refined technical aesthetic with Swiss performance engineering.

Officially hitting the market way early in 2024, PAF and On presented the Cloudmonster and Cloudventure with astuteness across the materials, logos, and colorways. For SS26, they’re continuing the established motif on the On Cloudboom Next.

Photos shared by fashion/footwear blog le.syndrome reveal a midsole cushioning platform seen on the viral Cloudboom Strike Lightspray. Coral-like textures, translucents, and solids merge together to form the completely reworked upper in PAF’s signature style of pairing sharp and oblong edges, asymmetrical lacing structure, and super-minimal branding.

As with all of the brand presentations going on at Paris Fashion Week, this collaboration is expected to launch in Spring/Summer 2026 exclusively through POST ARCHIVE FACTION and On Running platforms.
