Shoe sole

A sole structure for an article of footwear with an upper and a top portion attached to the upper. The sole structure can include an outsole with a front portion, a middle portion, and a rear portion. The front portion and the middle portion of the outsole can be attached to the top portion. A front spacing can be defined between the front portion of the outsole and the top portion, and a rear spacing can be defined between the rear portion of the outsole and the top portion. Further, the sole structure can include at least one of a spike, a tooth, or a barb extending from a bottom surface of the outsole.

Article of footwear having a sole plate

A sole structure that includes an outsole having an upper outsole and a lower outsole that is directly coupled with the upper outsole such that the outsole defines a front portion, a middle portion, and a rear portion. The sole structure further includes a front cushioning member that is disposed within a front spacing that is defined between the upper outsole and the lower outsole, a plurality of first ground engaging members that extend from a bottom surface of the upper outsole member, and a plurality of second ground engaging members that extend from a bottom surface of the lower outsole member. The upper outsole and the lower outsole are each configured to engage with a ground surface. The front spacing is provided in the front portion of the outsole.

An article of footwear includes an upper and a sole structure coupled to the upper. The sole structure defines a ground engaging surface of the article of footwear and includes an outsole and a sole plate positioned between the upper and the outsole. The sole plate extends along the ground engaging surface of the sole structure includes a rear portion, an anterior curved portion, and a posterior curved portion extending away from the upper between the rear portion and the anterior curved portion.

A method for using an article of footwear while sitting in a chair capable of transitioning between at least first, second, and third states. The article of footwear includes an outsole. The outsole includes a medial wrap-up, a lateral wrap-up, and a heel wrap-up. The method includes positioning the article of footwear in a first footwear state while sitting in a chair first state. The method further includes positioning the article of footwear in a second footwear state while sitting in a chair second state. When in the second footwear state, the medial wrap-up deforms relative to the first footwear state. The method further includes positioning the article of footwear in a third footwear state while sitting in a chair third state. When in the third footwear state, the heel wrap-up deforms relative to the first footwear state.

Article of footwear

An outsole includes a set of ridges concentrically aligned around and emanating outwardly from a first epicenter. Each of the ridges have an undulating height there along. A portion of the set of ridges is aligned to define a flex zone. The flex zone is configured to accommodate flexion of the outsole there along.

Outsole pattern for an article of footwear

An article of footwear includes a sole structure, an upper attached to the sole structure, and a lacing system. The lacing system includes a housing disposed on a tongue of the upper, a lateral side flap and a medial side flap that extend from the sole structure along lateral and medial sides of the upper, respectively, toward the tongue, a plurality of lateral lace retainers disposed along an upper end of the lateral side flap, a plurality of medial lace retainers disposed along an upper end of the medial side flap, and a lace that extends from the housing through the pluralities of lateral and medial lace retainers in a crisscrossing manner across the tongue.
