During a recent trip hopping between NYC and L.A., I noticed something that made me pause—not a buzzy billboard or a flash of paparazzi lights, but sneakers specifically, On sneakers.

Yes, the Swiss-based brand has been around since 2010, but lately, it feels like it’s enjoying a serious moment. In New York, I see them constantly—on my morning walks along the West Side Highway. Head to L.A., and it’s the same story. At Runyon Canyon, they’re practically part of the uniform. Another spotting that I wasn't present for but caught online was Kaia Gerber heading to a workout in a pair of On’s Cloudnova X sneakers, styled with flare leggings, a zip-up sweatshirt, and retro sunglasses. It was the kind of look that confirms what I’ve been suspecting: On is officially the sneaker brand of the cool-girl set.
