Thank you for correcting your misstatement and acknowledging that the Dragonfly do in fact have a carbon plate. Everything else you’ve written in nonsense.

No, I didn't make any misstatement. Check the Nike tech specs. You won't see a single mention of a carbon plate, because it doesn't exist, and if it did, Nike would sure as heck let you know. Have you even seen the shoes in person? Stop making a fool of yourself, it's embarassing.
It's a 3/4-length pebax plate bro. Only the Air Zoom Victory's have carbon fiber.
spikes are cool!
dragonflys don’t have a carbon plate chief, it’s a pebax plate.
Didn't Klecker toss his shoes after some race a few months back, visibly upset?
I feel pretty bad for guys like Klecker and McDonald, saddled with inferior shoes at this point in time. This wasn't so much an issue previously, other than maybe when the Nike Air Mariah was a thing.
If you're not in Nike or Adidas, you're literally on your back foot.
Looks like the ON elite guys aren't even using the Cloudboom that's released to public.
They are using a prototype of a Cloudboom Echo. Very similar looking but if you get a clear enough picture you can tell. Higher stack height and possibly softer foam I believe

Skip to the men’s 1500 heat 1 right at the end you can see what you’re talking about but I don’t see him throw a shoe
Back in December after The Track Meet where Klecker ran the 10k in On's Cloudboom (at least I believe it was the Cloudboom), someone commented on his Strava on the fact he raced in flats and Klecker responded with "Distance spike soon". For the 1500's/mile's that he's run and in workouts, it looks like Klecker uses the current On spike, but it sounds to me like it's much more of a mid-distance spike and that a long distance spike is still in production.
no, it was the dragonfly. theres picture of the bottom of the spike he was wearing and it was clearly the dragonfly spike in the olympic colorway. Looks like he just replaced the laces and ripped off the nike logo

Agree.
I think your post should be a policy for LRC.
mans got spikes confused
I would say this is actually an enlightened move by On. If they have garbage spikes it is a point in their favor that they are listening to their athletes and letting them wear whatever helps them perform, as long as they're not obviously repping another brand.

Yes, he ran the 3k at the Prickly Pear Invite in the Dragonfly's. I'm saying that he probably did this because On does not have a long distance spike produced yet, as seen by the fact he raced his 10k in December in flats (On Cloudboom) instead of spikes, and commented on the production of a distance spike from On in the future as if one didn't already exist.

Makes perfect sense from an athletes point of view.
Makes zero sense for a company to pay for performances that helps promote a competitor.
Athletes are stupid for signing with a shoe company that doesn’t make a product that they can race in.
On is paying athletes very well and allowing them to wear competitors' spikes since On doesn't make spikes yet. The athletes are "stupid" for taking that deal? if On is paying you twice as much as Nike would (I've heard they are paying a lot) they should turn that down because On doesn't make spikes yet?
No, he must have a clause in his contract. Still sporting the product.
ON won't make spikes. That's like when HOKA made spikes for a hot second and all the HOKA guys started wearing NIKE. Word is the Under Armour spikes are legit as all keep wearing them like Schneider, Kelati, and McDonald.
