An athletic shoe with a shoe upper having a plurality of panels, each of which is secured at a lower edge to the sole of the shoe, and has an arc-shaped upper edge including a high strength flexible loop of cable secured at each of its ends to the sole of the shoe. Each cable is hemmed into the periphery of a panel, and may be exposed in places along the upper edge of the panel so that shoelaces may be looped around the cable to draw together the cables on the medial and lateral sides of the shoe, securing the sole to the wearer's foot.
