Pink On Running
A pink On Running shoe is a rare sight, and that is exactly why people are looking for it. The Swiss brand primarily works with off-whites, blacks, and earth tones; pink only appears in touches, on a few women's colorways, in limited quantities. The one we have in stock is the Cloudtilt Ivory Orchid: an ivory base, with orchid pink on the sole and details, on the brand's most sought-after model. At The Last Step, every pink On Running shoe is inspected and authenticated before shipment, available in sizes often sold out elsewhere, with 24/48h delivery and pickup in our stores in Toulouse, Biarritz, and Montpellier.
Cloudtilt Ivory Orchid: the pink On Running of the moment
The Cloudtilt is a slip-on shoe with no laces to adjust, featuring a thick CloudTec sole that extends up the heel and an elastic collar that secures the foot. It is the model that shifted On from running to fashion, and the one we have seen most on the streets for the past two years. In Ivory Orchid, the upper remains in the brand's usual ivory, and the pink settles where the eye falls: on the sole, in the cavities, on the finishes. The result is a Cloudtilt recognizable at first glance, but without being loud.
The reference is in women's sizes, from 36.5 to 42.5 depending on availability, often just one pair per size. This is not mass stock; it is a grid that we complete with each arrival and that empties quickly. Other pink colorways from the brand, like the Cloud 6, Cloudmonster, or Cloudnova, go through this collection as they are released.
Pink at On: a rare and almost exclusively feminine color
On was born in Zurich in 2010 with a technical obsession: a sole made of hollow cavities that compress upon impact and lock for the push-off. In the early years, the colors followed the logic of running: bright and functional. Then the brand grew, Roger Federer became a shareholder in 2019, the collaboration with Loewe began in 2022, and the palette shifted toward the neutral tones that are its identity today: Pearl, Ice, Ivory, Sand.
In this palette, pink is an exception. On Running releases it almost exclusively on women's grids, often as an accent rather than a solid color, and rarely two seasons in a row. This is why the Ivory Orchid is so sought after: a pink Cloudtilt is both the model of the moment and a color that the brand will probably not reproduce identically. Other variations of the silhouette are grouped in the On Cloudtilt collection.
Sizing, fit, and outfits for your pink On Running
The Cloudtilt slips on without adjustment, and its elastic collar feels a bit tight at the instep for the first few days. Many take a half-size up from their usual size, especially with a wide foot or a high instep. If you have a narrow foot, your usual size is enough. The reference follows the women's grid; a man who wears a 41 or 42 can wear it without any problem, as the cut does not change, only the numbering differs.
For style, the orchid pink requires restraint around it. The simplest: a neutral bottom, beige cargos, light baggy jeans or cream trousers, an oversized white t-shirt, and white crew socks that come up over the collar. The pair becomes the only touch of color, and that is where it looks its best. Black also works, in contrast: black jeans, a black hoodie, and the pink stands out. What to avoid is adding a second pink or a bright color to the outfit. A beige or white cap finishes the look.

Frequently asked questions about pink On Running
Does the pink On Running come in men's sizes?
The Cloudtilt Ivory Orchid is listed in the women's grid, up to 42.5. The cut is identical to the men's version, only the numbering changes: a man who wears a 41 or 42 can wear it.
Should you take a half-size up on the Cloudtilt?
Often, yes. The elastic collar is a bit tight at the instep and the fit is narrow. Wide foot or high instep: half a size up. Narrow foot: your usual size.
How do you clean pink and ivory On Running shoes?
Use a soft brush and lukewarm soapy water on the upper, focusing on the cavities of the sole. Do not use a washing machine, as it will yellow the ivory. A protective spray before the first outing limits stains on the light mesh.
