"The Speed of Sound" featuring On and Lesley Paterson | Video

Young Hollywood directors Adam and Nathan Freise – who have also contributed to Hollywood blockbusters such as World War Z and Gravity – typically play off their backgrounds in architecture and design to capture pieces that often carry themes of humanity and technology. In their latest short film in collaboration with Swiss sports company On, “The Speed of Sound” features XTERRA Triathlon World Champion Lesley Paterson as she attempts to outrace a sound wave, symbolizing the fight against her inner demons. Powered by the cushioned, yet firm On Cloudracer running shoe, the world-class athlete breaks through the sound barrier to find her flow. In the end, the video suggests an empowering message to its viewers: “Commit to start and take the chance to break your barriers.” Enjoy the short film below and head over to On Online to find an On running shoe that suits you.
