The upper part of the shoe is formed as a synthetic material called polymer is sprayed onto a rotating foot-shaped mold. The process takes about three minutes per shoe.

Analysts say innovations like LightSpray have given On a competitive edge. So how does it work? Watch the video above to learn more.
