Zendaya Just Dropped a New On Collection, and One Sneaker Looks Nothing Like Your Typical Running Shoe

A chase scene, a snakeskin-style print and a shoe that ignores nearly every rule of the running-shoe aisle. On’s second collection with Zendaya went on sale Oct. 1, and the Swiss brand introduced it like a movie premiere. The campaign film drops the actor into a choreographed urban pursuit, with every piece of clothing shown in motion. Eight items make up the lineup worth shopping, and one of them looks like it wandered in from a different brand entirely.

Law Roach, the longtime stylist behind many of Zendaya’s red carpet looks, co-created the collection with her. The two already have history with On, which signed the actor to a multi-year partnership in June 2024 and released their first full collection in April. For round two, the brand hired Pantera, an Argentinian filmmaking trio, to direct the campaign. Their short film puts Zendaya in the middle of a pursuit, and the wardrobe inside it hints at where this collection is headed.

The first thing viewers notice is a snakeskin pattern. Zendaya said the team “had fun with a python print that acts like a modern camo.” True to that description, the print arrives in neutral, earthy tones and appears on a bodysuit, a long-sleeve top and a hooded jacket. Each of those pieces has a different job, and the jacket handles the one that matters most when the forecast turns gray.

The Half-Zip Anorak is the print’s boldest showcase. On describes it as water-repellent, with a hood and several zippered pockets, so it handles drizzle and doubles as a statement layer. According to Polish fashion outlet Fashionbiznes, it carries a $250 price tag, which is the top of the collection’s reported range. Underneath it, the collection offers two fitted pieces built for movement, and each one has its own reason to exist.

The Studio Bodysuit puts the python pattern on soft, stretchy fabric designed to move from training sessions to everyday outfits, and it reportedly costs $160. Beside it sits the Studio Long-T, a moisture-wicking top made for low-intensity workouts and casual wear. Together they form the fitted base for that anorak, and neither needs a gym membership to make sense. One more lightweight layer completes the group, and it relies on texture instead of print.

The Ruched Lightweight Jacket takes the quieter route, using intricate gathers and an ultra-light feel to dress up an everyday staple. Ruching adds shape and dimension to the fabric, a detail that repeats across the roomier pieces in the lineup. That shared thread explains why the collection looks relaxed and engineered at the same time. Two oversized favorites push the idea further, starting with a sweatshirt whose sleeves have a mind of their own.

Balloon Sleeves and Bungee Hems Turn Everyday Sweats Into Adjustable Statements

The Oversized Crewneck pairs statement balloon sleeves with an adjustable bungee hem, so the wearer decides how slouchy or snug it sits. On presents it as an everyday sweatshirt, but the volume at the shoulders gives it more presence than most. Zendaya framed the whole collection as an upgrade for daily basics, and this piece makes that goal easy to see. Its matching partner moves the cords to a place most sweatpants never have them.

The Oversized Sweatpants carry adjustable bungee cords at the leg and hem, giving a relaxed fit that can be cinched or loosened on demand. Fashionbiznes reports a price between $150 and $160. Worn with the crewneck, the pair reads as loungewear in person and streetwear in photos. The set covers couch days and city days alike, yet the item that sets this collection apart is a shoe.

Zendaya and Roach have now worked on several On shoes, and the Cloudnova Moon from April was the third. That low-profile sneaker drew on the ballet sneaker trend and, according to Fashionbiznes, retailed for $200. It gave On a shoe that looked at home far from any running track. The sequel keeps that foundation and borrows from a style long tied to school uniforms and dress-up occasions, with a very recognizable name.

The Cloudnova Moon Mary Jane is the shoe in question. It keeps On’s cushioned sole and an engineered knit upper, then adds the Mary Jane look: a low profile and a strap across the foot, with speed laces to dial in the fit. The reported price is $190, which is $10 less than the original Cloudnova Moon. Fans of the Spider-Man films, where Zendaya plays MJ, may smile at the name.

Three colorways are available: Clove/Ivory, Dew/Antler and Black/Ivory, all in subdued tones that work with jeans or a midi skirt. Shoppers who prefer a plainer On sneaker can look at the Cloudmuse, which pairs a sleek, low-profile design with two layers of Helion superfoam. The collection sells on on.com and in On stores worldwide, and pop-ups opened in Los Angeles, Paris, Tokyo and Chengdu.

On built its name on running shoes, and this collection treats a full day of errands, commutes and photo calls as the new racetrack. A strap shoe, a python-print anorak and balloon-sleeve sweats now share one performance label, supported by a film shoot and pop-ups on three continents. The Cloudnova Moon Mary Jane costs less than the sneaker it grew from, a pricing choice that signals On wants this experiment worn in everyday life.
