On Cloudboom Strike LightSpray
The Cloudboom Strike platform topped with On's robot-sprayed, laceless LightSpray upper, cutting the shoe to around 170 grams. It is one of the lightest marathon super shoes available, with the same carbon plate and Helion HF foam underneath. The minimal upper fits like a sock and offers little adjustability.
Reach for the On Cloudboom Strike LightSpray for race day. It's a neutral shoe, best for runners with an efficient stride who don't need pronation support. The tall, soft stack favors comfort over ground feel. That's great for high mileage and bigger runners, less so for racing snappiness.
- Exceptionally light for a marathon shoe
- Same fast plate and foam as the Strike
- Snug one-piece fit
- No laces means no fit adjustment
- Very expensive and not durable
