On Cloudboom LightSpray shoes--Next revolution of footwear
https://www.nytimes.com/2024/07/15/style/on-running-shoes-cloudboom-strike-ls-spray-on.htmlThe shoe was created from a single semi-translucent synthetic monofilament almost a mile long that was extruded by a robot arm, engineered to fit to Ms. Obiri’s feet to help her run in the most effective way and then heat-fused to a foam rubber and carbon-fiber sole. It is called the Cloudboom Strike LS — LS stands for LightSpray, the trademarked name of the technology — and it weighs a mere 170 grams, or about six ounces. It has 75 percent less impact on the environment than a traditional sneaker, according to On. And when it comes to style, it has more in common with an alien bedroom slipper than any running shoe.
