On | LightSpray™. Lighter Than Humanly Possible
Obiri will be sporting a new sneaker from sportswear company On, but it’s far from a typical sneaker.“LS” stands for LightSpray, the trademarked name of the technology used to create the shoes. It works by placing a foot form on the arm of a robot asThe robot arm holds the outsole up to a sprayer as the arm rotates the shoe and the sprayer releases — a material with characteristics of both plastic and rubber — spiraling the stream as a helix.
He added that the material used in LightSpray technology is so form-fitting that athletes often opt to wear it without socks.The Cloudboom Strike LS will be available again this fall for $330 — just in time for the New York City Marathon.Now, the shoes are going to get their world debut at the Olympics in Paris — though Obiri was initially hesitant.
“One of the visions was, imagine if you go to a race, you have one of these robots with you, and on race day, if it’s wet or dry, the robot sprays you a perfect shoe for the moment,” Heitz explained. “And at the end of the race you take it off, recycle it, and go to the next race.”
