Earlier this week, Dongjoon Lim, the founder of POST ARCHIVE FACTION (PAF), posted photos of two unreleased footwear models on his Instagram stories. According to the visuals, the featured shoes seem to belong to two separate collaborations between PAF, On and Clarks.
The On x PAF silhouette appears to be a new variant of the Cloudmonster 2 running shoe and possibly a sequel to their “Current Form 2.0” collaboration. Doused in a monochrome color palette, the new sneaker features a two-tone design with a matte, mesh knit upper and asymmetrical lacing system. Matte black dominates the majority of the shoe, with off-white elements peeking through the tongue, laces and a section of the quarters to one end of the CloudTec midsole.
As for PAF’s collaboration with Clarks, Lim teased a suede Wallabee Boot in a tonal design. From the upper, laces to the sole, the silhouette is doused in a pale gray, imbued with a hint of lilac undertone. Instead of the usual rubber pebble crepe sole, this version seems to be fitted with ones that resemble the ridged Vibram® sole used for the Wallabee Gore-Tex models.
At the time of writing, no further details have been announced regarding PAF’s upcoming collaborations with On and Clark.
