Is This The Future Of Supershoes?

The use of carbon plates and super foams in run shoes have become a standard practice, however, On Running is taking it a step further by revolutionising the upper material as well with their own LightSpray™ technology!

Mark investigates just how this technology is used to create On's new supershoe - the Cloudboom Strike LS - and how it might be a game changer in the running shoe industry!

Combine this technology with footscanning technology and I could see this being used to make custom shoes.

[FranciscoMeloJr]

cloudy with a chance of meatballs spray-on shoes, a cartoon

[pauldobos]

How do you make this video and not have Belinda give her first impressions?

[On-Running]

Zero distractions. Pure performance. Like Belinda ⚡

[ndelucca]

Love company’s that think out of the box. All my support to On

[gcn]

Will they help you move quickly around the office? Asking for a mate (Ollie Bridgewood)

[KingWilliamProtector]

This should theoretically lower the manufacturing cost thus making the shoe more affordable. Hahaha yeah right…….

[GD-myhm]

At first I thought it was just a marketing gimmick, but the aesthetic actually looks pretty futuristic (in the good sense) and nice. Wouldn't mind rocking one of these someday.

[fitzy]

Love that the idea came from seeing a Spiderman web toy. Not many people could see how it could be applied to a shoe. Great minds behind this. I hope it takes off.

[hector]

This freaking amazing! On is killing it. On traditionally on the hire end so these are going to be pretty pricey but I want them!!

[thijsclement]

Marketing at its best!
Love the teck but 99% is not a pro.
Stil love it!!

[cyrusf.]

You never actually see someone slipping them on, how do you put them on? and durability? One race and throw away?

[ojmotswane]

Cloudy with a chance of meatballs did this first

[gandalfc]

this some big hero six type of lab and ideas

[zaharizahariev]

It’s nice to see real innovation in the shoes space Nike has been stagnating for decades astonishing for the money and profits they make.

[CTBN]

Impressive tech and application.
When this becomes the norm in building sneakers, am sure there won't be anymore problem or question of fit issues.
As an add I believe any garments that can be woven this 'light spray' tech will be able to perform.

[edleung]

There had been attempts to create laceless/strapless performance sports shoes, no body succeeded. Hope this one will make it.

[RaffaRuns]

Really keen to hear what sort of testing this product's done under wet running conditions.

[harryv]

Add minimalist + wide toe box + zero drop options and I'm game.

[lamaquina]

I mean how many times can one wear this before the upper mesh rips?
