The Sneakers Pedro Pascal Wears to Train Might Just Be the Most Comfortable Right Now
It’s hard to miss Pascal these days. I recently saw a meme wondering why Pedro Pascal seems to be in every movie lately. And honestly, fair question. After a blockbuster promo tour for Gladiator II closed out his 2024, 2025 has been just as relentless. This year alone he’s stepped into the MCU as Reed Richards (Mr. Fantastic) in Fantastic Four: First Steps, switched gears in the sharp rom-com Materialists opposite Dakota Johnson and Chris Evans, gone gritty in the haunting western Eddington, and delivered a powerhouse second season of The Last of Us. On the horizon? More Mandalorian, a Star Wars: The Mandalorian & Grogu spin-off, and a couple of Avengers films. Pascal isn’t just everywhere—he’s everywhere that matters.
And he’s not showing up in just any look. Over the past few years, Pascal has cemented himself as a bona fide fashion icon. His early collabs with stylist Julie Ragolia gave us viral moments like the 2023 MET Gala microshorts and the Saint Laurent suit paired with sky-high boots at Cannes 2025. Now, with Jamie Mizrahi guiding his style, he’s leaned fully into the “Hot Daddy” persona that’s taken over both the fashion world and social media feeds.
So after facing aliens, tangled love triangles, and apocalyptic pandemics on-screen, Pascal’s been enjoying a rare weekend off—running errands, hitting the gym, and doing it all in his On Cloudtilts. If you’re going to take a breather, might as well do it with cushioning and style.
At some point, these sneakers evolved from “algorithm-sounding running shoes” to the footwear you suddenly see all over Instagram. Maybe it’s the clean, minimalist aesthetic tailor-made for curated feeds. Maybe it was the Loewe collab that briefly made them the most sought-after sneaker. Or maybe it’s simply that once you slip them on, you realise most of your current rotation belongs in the cushioning Stone Age.
Gone are the days when running shoes lived strictly in the gym and dress shoes didn’t know the meaning of comfort. The On Cloudtilt proves it—with the finesse of a Swiss watch and the hype of a limited-edition drop. The formula for their rise is textbook: a Loewe collaboration to catch the trend-hunters’ eye, a versatile design that works as well with tailored trousers as with tech joggers, and most importantly, a walking-on-clouds feel that instantly spoils you for anything else.
The secret is CloudTec Phase technology—a precision-obsessed cushioning system with angled gaps in the sole that aren’t just for show. They guide your stride with almost choreographed smoothness, absorbing impact, redistributing it gently, and returning up to 58% more energy than the market average. Add to that Helion foam—light, reactive, and the perfect blend of five-star hotel comfort and track-ready responsiveness—plus an upper made from 100% recycled polyester that significantly reduces water usage. Translation: they’re kind to your joints and to the planet.
Out on the street, the Cloudtilt is the Swiss Army knife of modern footwear. The sock-like construction and Speed-lace quick system make them effortless to put on, while the clean silhouette works far beyond gym kit. Think raw denim, relaxed tailoring, or that premium athleisure set you wear when you want people to think you’re on your way to the gym—even if you’re just headed to Sunday brunch.
They’re the kind of sneaker that telegraphs status and modern style without trying too hard—and Pedro Pascal, as always, wears them like it’s second nature.
