While On may not need an introduction for their varied lineup, their latest collaboration is more than worthy of notice. In a new collaborative release, the Swiss running brand is joining forces with Post Archive Faction (PAF), a Korean design collective, to create a sneaker that combines details from your favorite On sneakers. Under the name “Current Form 3.0,” the pair’s most recent collaboration focuses on On’s performance technology and PAF’s sleek, modern design. With a more contemporary design, this collaborative sneaker comes in three neutral colorways that enhance its versatility, making it easy to wear on a run and beyond. 

On and PAF deliver the new Cloudmonster Hyper PAF

Available in light grey, white, and black colorways, the On Cloudmonster Hyper PAF borrows design details from other silhouettes for a modern appearance. Using the uppers from the Cloudmonster 2 PAF and the sole of the Cloudmonster Hyper, the new design appears futuristic and streamlined. The sneaker features the brand’s Helion HF cushioning, which provides maximum energy return —a welcome addition for any runner. Designed alongside athletes, the Cloudmonster Hyper PAF also includes the PAF Merino Sock, which adds a perforated sockliner for airflow and extra comfort. Finished with high-grip laces, the design secures the foot in place without limiting movement. The Post Archive Faction x On Cloudmonster Hyper PAF shoe is available via HBX, On, and PAF’s webstores, as well as in selected third-party retailers for a retail price of $280. While On’s design is more subdued and collaborative, the brand’s performance features stand out against Post Archive Faction’s minimalist, sleek touch.

Outdoors, Nature, Yard

Look, I am admitting it right here. The internet is forever. So I know I can never take this back. But I am not an unbiased journalist. Sure, I try to be objective in my reporting of brands and trends. But subjectively, I have favorites. Brands that speak to me. Brands that fit me well. The ones that define my lifestyle better than any others. Now that I have that off my chest, I can objectively say that there is no better brand for your casual wardrobe than Taylor Stitch. I have always loved them more than most, but this year, the Taylor Stitch F/W collection has me asking one very important question for all of you out there:

Why the Hell are you wearing anything other than Taylor Stitch this fall?

Christopher Ward’s new release turns its sporty Loco into a dress watch
Wristwatch, Arm, Body Part

Can a watch be a dress watch if it’s got an in-your-face design element like, say, the balance wheel visibly spinning on the dial? Christopher Ward is betting yes.

The Maidenhead, England-based brand just launched their C1 Loco Classic, a dressed-up take on last year’s C12 Loco. That watch was an angular, brightly colored sports watch built around the brand’s in-house CW-003 movement.
