On has engineered new technology to bolster its running shoe lineup. The tech is called LightSpray and is described as being created through a one-step process that sprays the material rather than building it, which serves to reduce CO2 emissions by 75% compared to On’s other running shoes.

A robotic arm is used to then assemble the one-piece upper and the sole of the shoe in just only three minutes, forming the new Cloudboom Strike LS, dropping as the first model to feature On's LightSpray.

The light, seamless upper has a sock-like look with no laces, giving runners a snug fit around their foot and ankle. On uses a carbon Speedboard between the upper and the sole, while a midsole contains On’s hyper foam.

There isn’t a secondary sock liner inside the Cloudboom Strike LS and the entire shoe is bonded without any glue for a more seamless, rip-proof design. Other running shoes, both in On’s roster and the wider market utilize a variety of methods, like weaving, sewing, gluing and finishing.

On has tested the Cloudboom Strike LS with its athletes and the shoe even made its debut earlier this year on Hellen Obiri during her second consecutive Boston Marathon win.
