INVINCIBLE x On’s latest partnership is perfectly deconstructed

While no stranger to collaborations, it’s not often that athletic company On revamps its iconic silhouettes. However, in their latest collaboration with Taiwanese streetwear label INVINCIBLE, the brand is giving one of their iconic shoes a new subtle upgrade. Adding some of INVINCIBLE’s street-style inspired touches, ON’s clean and minimalist silhouette has received some extra edge. While keeping some of the Swiss brand’s traditional aspects, this new collaborative design is a low-key mixture of both brands that appeals to all runners. With the style and ease that embodies On, this running shoe gives faithful fans an extra dose of flair.
INVINCIBLE x On Cloudmonster 2 “Deconstructed Perfection”

Using On’s Cloudmonster 2 as a base for the design, the new collaboration gets its inspiration from deconstruction. Using a multi-layer upper construction with subtle contrasts and textures, the shoe's design is still clean and simple with a slight touch of style. Touches of brown serve as pops of color throughout the shoe to offset the off-white color of the design. While the exterior saw subtle style upgrades, the technical and performance characteristics remain true to On’s brand. Using the brand’s biggest CloudTec midsole, this design contains the brand’s maximum amount of cushioning and energy return. A nylon-blend Speedboard helps aid in the design’s impact absorption and landing.

With shoes like loafers, dress shoes, and leather sneakers rising, it’s easy to give in to the leather footwear trend. Regardless of whether it’s patent or full-grain leather, this fabric is notorious for its sophisticated and stylish look. No matter the occasion, leather continues to be an easy way to add style to even the most casual looks. The rise of leather sneakers has also allowed many to upgrade their looks with a comfortable and practical shoe. While leather certainly has many benefits, it’s a material that requires some care to maintain its sleek look.

As with most leather goods, proper care allows you to extend the lifespan of your shoes throughout the years. While cleaning leather shoes isn’t drastically different than cleaning other materials, keeping in mind the characteristics of leather will help ensure you take the proper steps. With the occasional maintenance and required cleaning, your leather shoes can easily withstand any trend and secure a spot in your wardrobe for seasons.
