Disclosed are a shock absorption and ventilation enhanced shoe sole and a preparation method therefor. The shoe sole comprises a body. At least one layer of communication-type air passage is provided in the body, and a plurality of first air holes provided in the circumferential side face of the body and a plurality of second air holes provided in the upper surface of the body cooperate, so that air intake and deflation for heat exhaust can be alternately achieved in the process of alternately lifting a foot and treading of a user, thereby preventing heat from accumulating on the foot sole, being beneficial to foot health, reducing foot perspiration, and helping slow down heart rate acceleration; and in addition, the shoe sole can achieve the functions of shock absorption, buffering, ventilation and power assistance, so that the shoe sole is more comfortable to wear.

An article of footwear includes a strobel having an interior surface and an exterior surface formed on an opposite side from the interior surface, the strobel defining a footbed and a peripheral wall extending transversely from the footbed to a terminal edge. The article of footwear additionally includes an upper attached to the terminal edge of the strobel along a peripheral seam to define an interior void for receiving a foot, the peripheral seam configured to extend along a side of the interior void.

An article of footwear having a sole structure and an upper, the sole structure includes an outsole with a ground-engaging surface, a first cushioning member disposed between the outsole and the upper in a heel region of the sole structure, a second cushioning member disposed between the outsole and the upper in a forefoot region of the sole structure, and a sole plate having a rear portion and a curved portion that includes an anterior curved portion and a posterior curved portion. Additionally, the anterior curved portion is disposed proximate the second cushioning member, a portion of the posterior curved portion spans between the first cushioning member and the second cushioning member, and the rear portion is disposed between the first cushioning member and the upper. Further, the ground-engaging surface is not continuous along a midfoot region of the article of footwear.

A plate is used for a sole forming a part of a shoe. The plate includes a front support portion and a center support portion. The front support portion is formed in a flat shape or a curved shape with a single downward protrusion in a cross section in a foot width direction, when the sole is placed on a flat plane. The center support portion has a shape with an upward protrusion and a downward protrusion arranged alternately in the foot width direction in a cross section in the foot width direction, when the sole is placed on the flat plane, where the upward protrusion has a shape curved to protrude upward and the downward protrusion has a shape curved to protrude downward.

An example article of footwear includes a forward midsole component, a rearward midsole component, and a bridge component mated with an outsole side of the forward midsole component and an outsole side of the rearward midsole component to permanently attach the forward midsole component and the rearward midsole component to form a midsole of the article of footwear.

This disclosure concerns a master model for the production of a mold, comprising: (a) a first part, a second part comprising a textured surface; wherein the first part and the second part are connected.

Components for articles of footwear and athletic equipment are provided including a foam. A variety of foams and foam components and compositions for forming the foams are provided. In some aspects, the foams and components including the foams can have exceptionally high energy return while also having improved durability and softness. In particular, midsoles including the foams are provided for use in an article of footwear. Methods of making the compositions and foams are provided, as well as methods of making an article of footwear including one of the foam components. In some aspects, the foams and foam components can be made by injection molding or injection molding followed by compression molding.
