A polyamide resin comprising the reaction product obtained by the reaction of an acid component comprised of a major concentration of a dimer acid and minor concentration of a monobasic acid and an amine component comprised of a major concentration of a short-chain alkylenediamine, a first minor concentration of a medium-chain alkylenediamine and second minor concentration of a polyoxyalkylene diamine having a molecular weight greater than about 500 is provided. The polyamide resin is used to form a blend of containing the polyamide in a major amount by weight and a first minor amount by weight of a polar wax and a second minor amount by weight of a polyolefin elastomer. The composition is used to reinforce a footwear upper, e.g. as a print on box toe material.
