On and POST ARCHIVE FACTION Conclude Collaboration With Current Form 5.0

On and POST ARCHIVE FACTION (PAF) have officially unveiled Current Form 5.0, marking the conclusion of their six-season collaborative partnership. This final collection introduces the Cloudsoma PAF running silhouette, designed with performance and aesthetic considerations inspired by natural landscapes. The Cloudsoma PAF features a high-abrasion, quick-drying upper, asymmetrical lacing, and fluid paneling with swirling line work intended to evoke mountain rock formations and organic motion. The shoe will be available in three colorways: "Cobble/Raven," "Black/Black," and "Haze/Linen." The launch of Current Form 5.0 also includes a significant artistic component: a permanent stone trail-loop installation created in collaboration with land artist Strijdom van der Merwe on the island of Tenerife, Spain. This installation is designed to serve as a lasting tribute to the partnership and provide a unique running environment for the local community. The creation process of both the collection and the land art is documented in a three-part film, which features POST ARCHIVE FACTION (PAF) Co-founder and Creative Director Dongjoon Lim and project athletes. The collaboration between On, a Swiss sportswear company known for its running technology, and POST ARCHIVE FACTION (PAF), a South Korean label recognized for its avant-garde design approach, has spanned six seasons, progressively evolving their joint aesthetic and product offerings. The partnership aimed to blend On's technical expertise in footwear with POST ARCHIVE FACTION (PAF)'s distinctive design philosophy. The Cloudsoma PAF running shoe itself represents a culmination of this synergy, integrating advanced materials and construction techniques with a visually striking design. The global release of the On x POST ARCHIVE FACTION (PAF) Current Form 5.0 collection and the Cloudsoma PAF silhouette is scheduled for September 3, 2026. Consumers will be able to purchase the items online through the official On and POST ARCHIVE FACTION (PAF) websites, as well as at select retail partners worldwide. The land art installation in Tenerife stands as a physical manifestation of the collaboration's enduring impact, offering a unique intersection of sport, art, and nature. Strijdom van der Merwe, the artist behind the installation, is known for his work that often engages with natural environments and materials, further aligning with the collection's thematic inspirations.
