Is This The Future Of Supershoes?

Published 2024-07-15
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!

    Will you be getting a pair? 👟
  • @greatscot04
    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
  • @pauldobos2982
    How do you make this video and not have Belinda give her first impressions?
  • This should theoretically lower the manufacturing cost thus making the shoe more affordable. Hahaha yeah right…….
  • @gcn
    Will they help you move quickly around the office? Asking for a mate (Ollie Bridgewood)
  • @On-Running
    Zero distractions. Pure performance. Like Belinda ⚡
  • @ndelucca1
    Love company’s that think out of the box. All my support to On
  • Marketing at its best! Love the teck but 99% is not a pro. Stil love it!!
  • @cyrusf.4039
    You never actually see someone slipping them on, how do you put them on? and durability? One race and throw away?
  • @GD-my5hm
    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.
  • @fitzy0008
    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.
  • @CT37BN
    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.
  • @hector9960
    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!!
  • @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.
