Loewe x On Created This Season’s Most Luxe Gorpcore Sneaker

Planning on spending some time outside to soak in the sunshine and fresh air — or just taking a walk down the block to your local cafe to grab an iced latte — this spring? Do it while wearing sneakers from the new Loewe x On collaboration. 

Launching October 12, the Spanish luxury fashion house and Swiss performance-wear brand have come together for the second time to debut the Cloudtilt, a lightweight sneaker that is basically what gorpcore dreams are made of. Cloudtilt marks a brand-new style for On, and is crafted with a knitted sock-like fit and an EVA foam sole (meaning: extra cushion for your feet) with cloud-like shapes that adjust to your feet as you move. It’s also On’s first lifestyle sneaker to use its CloudTec Phase, a computer-generated technology that creates the shoe’s midsole and ensures maximum, all-day comfort. On the aesthetics front, the sneaker features Loewe’s signature anagram logo on the tongue and side and comes in eye-catching colours like lime green and purple.

Both brands approached the collab with an eco-friendly mindset, too: The upper mesh on the shoe is made with 99% recycled polyester, and all packing is from 100% recycled industrial materials.

The Cloudtilt is just the latest fashion-forward addition to the gorpcore trend — which, if you need a refresher, is all about stylish yet utilitarian pieces designed for outdoor use. Miu Miu x New Balance unveiled their own take on a gorpcore-ready sneaker last year.

The Loewe x On Cloudtilt sneaker is available for $750 at loewe.com now. The women’s shoes will come in white, black, lime green, purple rose, and navy colourways. A second drop with additional shade options is expected in January.
