ON X PAF CURRENT FORM 5.0

On and POST ARCHIVE FACTION (PAF) present Current Form 5.0, the final chapter of a six-season partnership. The project introduces a new iteration of the Cloudsoma PAF, a running shoe inspired by the formations of the natural landscape.
The partnership comes to a close with a permanent installation: a stone ring created on the Spanish island of Tenerife in collaboration with artist Strijdom van der Merwe. Open to runners, the path becomes a monument to movement itself.
The installation is accompanied by a campaign and short film documenting its creation, while tracing the evolution of the partnership between the Swiss and South Korean brands. The film follows PAF co-founder and creative director Dongjoon Lim as he arranges pieces from previous collections into a circular installation, van der Merwe as he creates the monument in Tenerife, and athletes running along the completed ring.
At the center of the collaboration is the Cloudsoma PAF, designed for running and inspired by the morphology of mountain landscapes. Its abrasion-resistant, quick-drying upper features fluid lines, an asymmetric lacing system, and organic patterns that echo natural forms.
The Cloudsoma PAF is available in Cobble/Raven, Black/Black, and Haze/Linen.
