ON CLOUDBOOM STRIKE LS

When Hellen Obiri, the Kenyan distance runner and two-time 5000m Olympic silver medalist, takes her place on the starting line of the Olympic marathon in Paris next month, it will be the global debut of the On Cloudboom Strike LS, the most technically advanced running shoe ever made. Though Obiri won the Boston marathon in a custom model of the shoe this year, this will be the first time the shoe is commercially available.

According to The New York Times, the first time Obiri saw the shoes she said, “No, I can’t run with these.” The shoes had no laces. They had no heel cap — a hard plate at the back kept the foot in place. They were made of a weird, stretchy, plastic-y material.

The Cloudboom Strike LS is manufactured using a single 1.5km long filament that is spun by a robotic arm onto a high-performance racing midsole to create an ultra-thin, mesh-like upper. Forming the complete shoe upper in a single step means no glues or seams. Elastic and fully moldable to every foot, means no need for laces. Like a second skin, the Cloudboom Strike LS offers a precision fit. Read More

Published in The New Yorker in the wake of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, The Swimmer is emblematic of mid-century America’s changing perception of its own relationship to class, idealism, and failure, evergreen issues as relevant today as sixty years ago. The film based on the book was released in 1968, starring Burt Lancaster as Cheever’s protagonist, Neddy Merrill, who embarks on the novel adventure to swim home by way of his affluent neighbor’s swimming pools.
