A composite outsole including a carbon fiber portion and a titanium portion. The titanium portion is molded to the carbon fiber portion using adhesives and the like. The titanium portion provides increased strength and ductility to allow for additional features in the outsole, such as, for example, air flow vents that increase circulation for breathability and moisture management as well as reduce drag.

Composite outsole

The present invention relates to a shoe having a canopy and laterally mounted tightening apparatus. The canopy has a fixed end attached to the shoe and a free end not attached to the shoe. The free end of the canopy has lobes (or the canopy is a plurality of straps) that are moveable relatively independently of each other such that a lace attached to a tightening apparatus and the free end of the canopy tightens the shoe allowing the free ends of the canopy to facilitate the canopy molding the foot of the user.

Shoe tightening system

A pair of stretchable athletic pants comprising one or more panels attached together by one or more seams to form the pants in which at least one of the seams comprises an overlapping bonded seam is disclosed. The stretchable athletic pants, for example, may comprise one or more overlapping bonded seams and one or more other type of seam, such as a stitched seam. In one embodiment, for example, a plurality of overlapping seams are formed around the perimeter of the pants until only one seam remains to form the pants. In this embodiment, the final seam may be stitched or otherwise connected to complete the manufacture of the pants.
