Bringing six seasons of design evolution to a close, the final release from the Swiss sportswear brand and South Korean label pairs performance footwear with a permanent land art installation in Tenerife, Spain.

Engineered for running, the collaborative Cloudsoma PAF draws visual inspiration from mountain rock formations, terrain, and organic motion. The silhouette features a high-abrasion, quick-drying upper detailed with asymmetrical lacing, fluid panelling, and swirling line work designed to reflect natural landscapes. The model will be available in three distinct colorways: “Cobble/Raven,” “Black/Black,” and “Haze/Linen.”

The design process and land art construction are featured in an accompanying three-part documentary starring POST ARCHIVE FACTION (PAF) Co-founder and Creative Director Dongjoon Lim alongside project athletes.
