Zendaya and On Unveil Second Collection With Python Print and Cloudnova Moon Mary Jane

Zendaya and On have released their second co-created Zendaya On collection, and this time the Swiss sportswear label is leaning fully into the drama of the action film. Launched on October 1, 2026, the capsule pairs On’s performance engineering with a custom python print, oversized silhouettes with adjustable detailing, and a brand-new footwear silhouette: the Cloudnova Moon Mary Jane.

Zendaya On Collection Reimagines Activewear as Action Cinema

The campaign puts movement at center stage. The new season styles are put to the test in a cinematic short film by the Argentinian directing trio Pantera, inspired by the visual language and physicality of classic action movies. The film captures Zendaya at the center of the action, moving through choreographed scenes with ease, showing how each piece moves naturally with the body.

“Each season we’re elevating everyday basics. With this collection, we had fun with a python print that acts like a modern camo,” said Zendaya. The bold custom python print runs across a bodysuit, a form-fitting long-sleeve top and a half-zip anorak, giving the collection its signature look.

Campaign stills shot by photographer Cass Bird show Zendaya moving with purpose, attitude and ease, while On’s Chief Marketing Officer Alex Griffin noted that cinematic storytelling has been a cornerstone of the partnership with Zendaya from the start, building worlds designed to entertain, surprise and invite people in.

The Cloudnova Moon Gets a Mary Jane Makeover

The standout of the drop is the Cloudnova Moon, introduced in a new Mary Jane-inspired silhouette. The low-profile model pairs an engineered knit upper with refined speed laces and is built for all-day comfort, sitting somewhere between a fashion flat and a performance-inspired sneaker.

The silhouette debuts in three colorways: Clove/Ivory, Dew/Antler and Black/Ivory. It continues the evolution of the Cloudnova line, which was introduced through the first Zendaya and On co-created collection earlier in 2026.

Law Roach’s Styling Touch

The collection was developed alongside Zendaya’s longtime creative collaborator and stylist Law Roach. Oversized crew necks and matching sweatpants feature considered ruching and bungee cord detailing, allowing each piece to shift in shape and silhouette so wearers can customize the fit.

“Our work with On has always been about pushing what sportswear can look and feel like. For this collection we brought our personality and love of print to technical fabrics, designing pieces to make you feel good when you move in them,” said Law Roach. On was born in the Swiss Alps in 2010 and is now present in more than 80 countries, and the Zendaya partnership remains one of its most visible creative collaborations.

Where the Collection Is Available

The Zendaya x On collection is available from October 1, 2026, via the brand’s online store and On retail stores globally. Customers in Los Angeles, Paris, Tokyo and Chengdu can also experience the new season styles through special immersive retail pop-ups at On’s flagship stores in those cities.
