For Spring/Summer 2026, Swiss performance brand On reunites with South Korean design collective Post Archive Faction (PAF) to explore a powerful concept: Transformation.
Inspired by the natural process of evolution and renewal, the collection reflects the quiet yet impactful moments of change that shape both athletes and individuals. Through experimental silhouettes, technical materials, and performance-driven engineering, ON x PAF SS26 embodies the journey of breaking away from the familiar and embracing what comes next.
A Study of Transformation
At the heart of the collection lies the idea of metamorphosis. Drawing from nature's cycles of growth, the designs capture the moment where old forms dissolve to make way for something stronger, faster, and more resilient.
PAF's signature avant-garde approach introduces asymmetry, layered construction, and organic visual elements that mirror the unpredictable beauty of transformation. Every piece feels as though it exists in a state of motion—evolving, adapting, and progressing.
Cloudboom Next PAF
Leading the collection is the Cloudboom Next PAF, a performance racing silhouette reimagined through PAF's distinctive design language.
Inspired by the act of breaking free from a shell, the shoe represents personal and athletic evolution. Intricate overlays, integrated wrap construction, and carefully layered materials create a dynamic visual identity that feels both futuristic and organic.
Performance Apparel Through the PAF Lens
Complementing the Cloudboom Next PAF is a curated range of technical running apparel designed to support movement without distraction.
The collection includes the Zero Jacket, Zero Singlet, Zero 2-in-1 Shorts, and Running-T, each reinterpreted through Post Archive Faction's progressive design language. Lightweight fabrics, breathable construction, and performance-focused details are combined with PAF's signature asymmetric aesthetics, creating pieces that seamlessly bridge technical functionality and contemporary design.
Built for both training and everyday wear, the apparel collection reflects the same spirit of transformation found throughout the collaboration—where innovation, movement, and evolution come together as one.
