Just Browsing: Workout Essentials at On, Including Zendaya’s Latest Collab

As someone who continues to drink the studio class Kool-Aid (seriously, you should see my ClassPass record), I take my workout attire very seriously. So, when I was invited to visit On’s flagship store and pop-up on Abbot Kinney in Los Angeles to preview a new launch, I was eager to browse the brand’s classics and latest arrivals, hoping to add a few new pieces to my rotation. Let’s just say I arrived to the store with a few items already in my mental cart.

Founded in Switzerland in 2010, On has collaborated with an impressive roster of partners over the last 16 years, from tennis legend Roger Federer to Spanish fashion house Loewe, all while staying true to its mission of celebrating movement. Its latest endeavor is a second co-created collection with Zendaya and stylist Law Roach—the very collection I was eager to check out—brought to life in an action-packed short film format.

Featuring everything from the basics (I found the perfect all-black set) to reimagined footwear (trust me, it’s good), and lots of snakeskin punctuated throughout, the collection brings a fresh perspective to the active and athleisure categories.

At the pop-up, pieces from Zendaya and Law Roach’s collaboration were lined up on sleek silver racks against a soft, milk chocolate brown velvet backdrop; I was drawn to a neutral-toned set and immediately envisioned it in my own wardrobe. Next door, the On flagship had plenty of its bestsellers to explore. Here’s everything I loved.

Track Star

Made from a crinkly nylon, these lightweight pants are incredibly airy and easy to move in—built for whatever the day brings, from morning laps to running errands. I found the versatile khaki green to work with just about any neutral tee and sneaker combo; for a one-and-done look, throw on the matching jacket and call it a day.

Ready, Set, Sweats

Putting on this matching set felt like being wrapped in a giant, cozy hug—the exact outfit I want to slip into after a post-workout reset shower. The brushed interior was incredibly soft against my skin, while the oversized fit nailed that perfectly relaxed, slouchy look.

My favorite feature? The ruching on the sweatshirt’s balloon sleeves, which takes traditional loungewear from familiar into fashion-forward territory. If the oversized look isn’t quite your thing, adjustable bungee cords on both the top and bottoms let you reshape the fit to your liking.

All Black Everything

You really can’t go wrong with a sleek, all-black workout ensemble. On’s SenseTec fabric is buttery-soft, designed to move with you through every teaser or short box set a Pilates instructor might throw your way. Mesh inserts in the back of the Studio Jacket add a nice touch of breathability to help you stay cool during and after your workout.

Fit to Stretch

I know what you’re thinking—yoga pants? Yes, the Y2K fit-and-flare silhouette has returned to the studio, and I, for one, am a fan. The Agave color brings a welcome pop of warmth and energy to those gray, daunting mornings before a 6 a.m. workout class, made from the same velvety-soft SenseTec fabric as the look above. The Studio Crop Top hits perfectly above the waistband with a double-layer design that offers extra coverage without the fuss of built-in padding.

The Reimagined Mary Jane

What do you get when you marry a classic Mary Jane with the functionality of a sneaker? An incredibly comfortable everyday shoe. Rewatching Zendaya’s campaign film, it made perfect sense how she was able to run across rooftops, scale walls, and flip through the air. In these shoes, I could imagine myself doing just about anything, too. Usually a classic lace-up girl myself, I was pleasantly surprised by the design.
