What is On LightSpray\u2122?<\/p>\n
On’s LightSpray\u2122 technology premiered as a groundbreaking method for creating lightweight, aerodynamic uppers for performance footwear. Developed internally at On Labs in Zurich, the technology was already proving its worth well before its July 2024 public announcement, with On athletes like Kenyan runner Hellen Obiri winning races in development versions as early as April that year.<\/p>\n
LightSpray\u2122 is manufactured using an automated robot arm that sprays recycled thermoplastic material onto a last, resulting in a one-piece upper. Ultra-thin, lightweight and sock-like, the LightSpray\u2122-constructed upper is then connected to On\u2019s patented midsole units without using any glue. Instead, On utilise a thermal fusing technology \u2013 reducing the overall materials used, and ultimately cutting the weight of the finished product. The entire manufacturing process takes only three minutes, a phenomenal reduction in operation time compared to traditional performance shoe creation, which can take multiple days.<\/p>\n
In addition to reducing the weight of their performance offerings, On\u2019s tech slashes carbon emissions, with LightSpray\u2122 shoe production generating 75 per cent less emissions than the brand\u2019s other running silhouettes.<\/p>\n
Currently, there are two silhouettes constructed using LightSpray\u2122: the Cloudboom Strike and Cloudmonster 3 Hyper. The former is On\u2019s race offering, prioritising speed with a curved carbon fibre Speedboard and weighing just 170 grams. Down below, Helion HF hyper foam brings maximum cushioning, along with On\u2019s famous CloudTec for supreme transitions. The other end of the LightSpray\u2122 spectrum delivers the Cloudmonster 3 Hyper, a trainer built for long and tempo runs. Built to be exceptionally responsive, the model rocks Helion HF foam to keep your legs in peak condition and CloudTec cushioning for excellent energy return \u2013 ultimately weighing in at 205 grams.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"What is On LightSpray\u2122?
