An athletic shoe includes an outsole assembly and a shoe upper whose quarter sections extend above the ankles. A cut out area extends over one ankle, around the heel and over the ankle within the quarter sections, and a collar closes the cut out area. The collar includes a high density foam lamina to support and protect the ankles, and, because of its pliability, potential pressure points exerted on the foot with accompanying irritation are substantially eliminated.
