During a recent trip between NYC and L.A., I noticed something that made me pause. No, it wasn't a buzzy billboard or a flash of paparazzi lights. It was sneakers—specifically On sneakers.

Yes, the Swiss 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. In L.A., 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, which she styled with flared 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.
