All the Cool L.A. and NYC Girls Are Wearing These Sneakers for WSH Walks and Runyon Canyon Hikes
Kaia Gerber is one of them.

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.

Honestly, it makes perfect sense. On hits that elusive balance of fashion and function, providing sneakers for those who want to look sporty but also stylish. The silhouettes are clean, the technology is top-notch, and they move effortlessly between errands, exercise, and everything in between.
