On Sets March 5 Debut for LightSpray Cloudmonster 3 Hyper, Global Launch April 16 at $280

A 36-robot production network spanning South Korea to Zurich aims to move the sprayed-on tech beyond elite prototypes.

Overview

  • Limited pairs arrive in North America on March 5 via On’s website and retail stores, with full global availability on April 16 at $280.
  • The trainer uses eight components including a fully 3D-printed upper and a two-piece Helion HF supercritical foam midsole.
  • On cites 40 percent biofoam content in the sprayed-on plastics and claims the minimalist build lowers the shoe’s carbon footprint.
  • Cushioning increases with 20 percent more foam than the earlier LightSpray racing model to target everyday runners seeking more softness.
  • Output scales roughly 30-fold with 32 robots in South Korea plus four in Zurich, as On positions LightSpray for a broader audience; reported weights vary between 190 grams and 205 grams.
