Foot-attached exercise rollers
The foot-attached exercise rollers comprises a toe cover, a strap, a plurality of rollers, and a plurality of grips. The foot-attached exercise rollers may be an exercise device that may be adapted to be worn on the foot. The toe cover may cover the front of a foot held in place by the strap. The plurality of rollers may be adapted to reduce friction between the front of the toe cover and a floor and the plurality of grips may be adapted to increase friction between the rear of the toe cover and the floor. The foot-attached exercise rollers may be adapted to be worn in pairs to exercise the user's core as a user moves the feet back and forth on the plurality of rollers while attempting to keeping the upper body still.

Sole element
This invention concerns a sole element for a cleated article of footwear, in particular for a football shoe. The sole element includes a composite element with an anisotropic bending property. The sole element further includes a polymer element, and the polymer element at least partially covers the composite element of the sole element.
A MULTI-LEVEL FOOTWEAR SOLE
Disclosed is a multi-level footwear sole including a lower section having a top side and a bottom side for contacting the ground; an upper section having a top side and a bottom side for interfacing with one or more components of a two-wheel vehicle; and one or more interconnection elements/sections for orienting and retaining the upper level in relation to the lower level, such that the upper and lower levels are positioned at substantially parallel planes, at least partially overlap, wherein the bottom side of the upper section faces the top side of the bottom section, forming therebetween one or more hollow chambers to accommodate/house the interfaced components of the two-wheel vehicle.
ERGONOMIC HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT AND DAMPING CUPS FOR RUNNING SHOES
Running shoes are ergonomically enhanced with a damping sole under the toe-cap, that provokes a touch-down at the foot's ball first and consequently avoids, for less stress and fatigue, an unrolling motion of the foot. The soft cup may be made of leather, canvas, and/or little extensible soft plastics. The pins may be angled at 40 upwards along a main axis of the running shoe. A combined thickness of additional sole and the original sole at the tip of the running shoe may be equal to a total sole thickness of the original sole at a heel of the running shoe. The cup assembly may increase a height of the tip of the running shoe. The cup assembly may dampen an impact of a foot at the tip of the running shoe.

FOOTWEAR FOR INVERSION EXERCISES
An inversion footwear to enable a human to hang in an inverted position from an elevated bar or other elevated device. The inversion footwear can include either a padding at a front upper portion of the inversion footwear, a hook-like extension at a back of the inversion footwear, or a hook at a bottom of the inversion footwear can be used to grip the elevated bar or other elevated device to secure the human wearing the inversion footwear thereto while hanging in an inverted position.

BONDING TO POLYOLEFIN PLATES AND ARTICLES OF FOOTWEAR FORMED THEREFROM
Methods of bonding components are provided that provide for improved bonding when one or both of the components include a polyolefin resin. Articles of footwear, athletic apparel, sporting equipment, and portions thereof are also provided including the components, at least one of which includes a polyolefin resin, and the component are adhesively bonded together by methods and/or compositions described herein. Methods can include (i) treating a surface of the first component with high-energy discharge to produce a treated surface; (ii) applying chlorinated polyolefin primer to the treated surface to produce a primed surface; (iii) applying waterborne polyurethane adhesive to the primed surface to produce an adhesive surface; and (iv) contacting a surface of the second component to the adhesive surface to adhesively bond the components. In some aspects, the first component is a plate including a textile disposed on a surface of the plate.
BONDING TO POLYOLEFIN TEXTILES AND UPPERS AND ARTICLES OF FOOTWEAR FORMED THEREFROM
Methods of bonding components are provided that provide for improved bonding when one or both of the components include a textile component including a polyolefin resin. Articles of footwear, athletic apparel, sporting equipment, and portions thereof are also provided including the components, at least one of which includes a polyolefin textile component, and the component are adhesively bonded together by methods and/or compositions described herein. Methods can include (i) applying a chlorinated polyolefin primer to a surface of the textile component to produce a primed surface; (ii) applying a first waterborne polyurethane adhesive to the primed surface to produce an adhesive surface; and (iv) contacting a surface of the second component to the adhesive surface to adhesively bond the second component to the textile component. In some aspects, the textile component is an upper including an adhesive bond to a sole component such as a plate.
