Every celeb has a pair of these £79 trainers - but can YOU get away with wearing the divisive trend?
There aren't many trainer styles that can count Gisele Bündchen, Zendaya and Kevin Bacon as fans. But they've recently all been snapped wearing a trainer brand that, quite honestly, wasn't even on our radar until about a year ago – and is quickly becoming the darling of celebs and influencers alike.
The style in question? ON's running shoes. Yes, the ones with the weird bubbly soles that look like they belong in a sci-fi film.
ON was founded just over a decade ago in Switzerland, as a performance running brand. Until now, their signature cloud soles have mostly been seen on ultra-marathoners and tech bros who grunt a bit too loudly in the gym. Now, they've strutted their way into the fashion world – and editors are not quite sure how to feel about it.

From a practical level, the allure is obvious. Unlike trainers by high-fashion brands (I'm sorry, Balenciaga, I'm looking at you), they're actually designed for comfort. Radical, we know. Their signature CloudTec soles absorb shock like a dream and mean, whether you're headed to parkrun or your local Pret, you've got a literal spring in your step.
Aesthetics-wise, they're a bit more controversial. I – along with Zendaya, J-Lo and Emily Ratajkowski – am very much won over. Gym classes are pretty much my entire personality, and ON Cloud's lime green mesh sneakers are the perfect way to brighten up my black sports bra and short set for the summer months.
Not everyone, however, is a fan. YOU deputy digital editor Charlotte Vossen went on a date with a guy wearing a pair of ON Cloudtilt shoes, and she was so put off, she ended it early and unmatched him on Hinge.
Ultimately, it's up to you to pick your side, but I'm going to try and convince you by compiling a few of my favourite pairs of ON trainers below. Because as far as I'm concerned, athleisure is always in…

The rapper and former security guard has accused the woman of "harassment, bullying, public safety and defamation of character". She has even been accused of telling Tak she "wished he died" after he had a minor prang in his car. In a lengthly statement on Instagram, Tak has broken his silence on the situation which he says occurred after he spent one night with her. Advertisement He told his fans: "First I would love to say thank you for the love and support I've received, really appreciate the ones who reached out to check in on me and make sure I'm doing okay. "I'm not going to feed into this behaviour, the people who know me know that I'm not capable of such things. "All of this will be dealt with accordingly and by the proper authorities as she has made some pretty serious and false allegations. "Harassment, bullying, public safety and defamation of character are serious offences and should not be taken lightly.

"I am crashing out because a man has been deceiving me and about 500 other women," she ranted. The influencer, who is also Australian, also made a string of other allegations before they were delated. Fans have been left shocked by the situation and have given their opinions on Reddit. Advertisement One said: "This is all because he met her 3 days ago. She's already obsessed with him when he only spoke to her as a general and didn't promise her kids, marriage etc. crazy." Another added: "I feel like this level of crashout would be warranted to some extent if they were in a committed relationship, but based on what he said it sounds like she's the only person he's met off hinge." And a third said: "Idgaf [I don't give a f***] about hook ups btw but agree he's allowed to say he's not keen to continue things with her without her losing her mind like this. Hopefully the police help him." 4 Tak appeared on Love Island Australia in 2022 Credit: Nine Advertisement
