On introduces LightSpray technology with the new Cloudboom Strike LS

Swiss sportswear brand On has unveiled a groundbreaking innovation that will revolutionize the running shoe industry: LightSpray technology. This cutting-edge technology is manufactured using a unique one-step process that sprays the material instead of building it up, reducing CO2 emissions by 75% compared to other On running shoes. With environmental sustainability at the forefront, On is taking significant steps toward a greener future, step by step.

The first model to feature this innovative LightSpray technology is the Cloudboom Strike LS. This new addition to the On range features a lightweight, seamless upper with a sock-like appearance that offers a comfortable fit around the foot and ankle without the need for laces. The futuristic design is not only elegant but also highly functional, offering runners the comfort and support they need to push themselves to the limit.

The Cloudboom Strike LS is assembled using a robotic arm that joins the one-piece upper and sole in just three minutes. This efficient process is a testament to On’s commitment to combining advanced technology with superior performance. The shoe’s upper is designed for a seamless, tear-resistant fit, ensuring durability and longevity even in the most strenuous conditions.

A standout feature of the Cloudboom Strike LS is the integration of a carbon speedboard between the upper and sole. This element gives runners extra propulsion and improves power and speed. In addition, the midsole contains On’s own Hyperfoam, which provides exceptional cushioning and energy return with every step.

Unlike traditional running shoes that require weaving, sewing, gluing and finishing, the Cloudboom Strike LS is made without glue. This seamless construction not only reduces waste but also improves the overall integrity of the shoe, making it a reliable choice for serious runners.

On has rigorously tested the Cloudboom Strike LS with its athletes and the results speak for themselves. The shoe made its impressive debut earlier this year when Hellen Obiri took her second consecutive Boston Marathon victory. With such a strong endorsement, it’s clear that the Cloudboom Strike LS will meet the needs of elite runners.

The Cloudboom Strike LS will be available this fall for $330. If you’re eager to try out this innovative running shoe, you can sign up for notifications on the On website.
