POST ARCHIVE FACTION (PAF) and On Announce the Release of "Current Form 1.0," Their First Collaborative Capsule

Update: After 10 months since their initial showcase, POST ARCHIVE FACTION (PAF) and On have announced Current Form 1.0, the duo’s first collaborative collection. Bridging the gap between performance wear and cutting-edge fashion, the two have assembled a three-part lineup of apparel and footwear. The X Breaker Jacket offers ample breathability with its perforations while the Flow Running Pants similarly moves with grace as a lightweight layer. As for the sneaker side of things, PAF’s take on On’s Cloudmonster 2, which was discussed previously below, is set to release as well with an emphasis on energy return via plush cushioning. For those eager to pick up pieces from the project, release for the range is set to take place on May 3.

Original Story: Last June, emerging South Korean label POST ARCHIVE FACTION (PAF) made noise at Paris Fashion Week with its special collaborative showcase with On. An expansive range of apparel was revealed alongside two co-designed takes on the On Cloudmonster 2. Now, after a follow-up footwear project was unveiled in January, the first delivery of PAF x On is being readied to touch down on shelves.

Crafted in two monochromatic makeovers of off-white and black respectively, the PAF x On Cloudmonster 2 blends performance and fashion-forward styling with its sleek upper sporting a breathable mesh. An asymmetrical lacing system has been applied to both pairs, tapping into PAF’s distinct design language. On’s typical branding hits appear at the toe and heel of the upper while a callout to PAF appears at the sockliner of the left shoe. Backed by On’s largest CloudTec sole to date, cushioning and energy return are more present than ever.

At the time of writing, neither POST ARCHIVE FACTION (PAF) nor On have confirmed when their collaborative Spring/Summer 2024 delivery will arrive. Stay tuned for updates as we expect both of their Cloudmonster 2 colorways to land on shelves in the weeks to come at a starting price of $240 USD.
