On was founded in 2010 in Zurich by Olivier Bernhard — a former Ironman and duathlon world champion — together with David Allemann and Caspar Coppetti. Bernhard had prototyped the first CloudTec sole by gluing cut sections of garden hose to the bottom of a running shoe; the hollow rubber pods compressed on landing and locked firm for push-off, and the idea scaled. The brand still runs its R&D out of Zurich and has been listed on the NYSE since September 2021.
The Pace Shorts are On's everyday road running short — CleanCloud (a recycled-polyester family) main fabric with an integrated inner brief, cut for daily training. Moisture-wicking, quick-drying, with a zippered pocket for gel or key carry. Pace Shorts — CleanCloud recycled-polyester main, inner brief liner, zip pocket.
The Pace Shorts are On's core road-running short: a CleanCloud recycled-polyester outer with an integrated brief liner, cut short enough for racing and comfortable enough for everyday training.
