Abstract

See full text

A new sole for basketball shoes that make use of a spring board and cushioning system to reduce the likelihood that a user will roll and sprain their ankle and to provide more support for lateral movements in both directions. The spring board, cushioning and support provide the present invention with a unique compression system covering the rear foot, the forefoot, and the tip of the foot. On the rear foot, the compression system is able to absorb impact during landings to increase surface contact between the outsole and the ground. On the fore foot, during aggressive changes in direction, the compression system compresses and provides the user a flexible slanted surface to push off of. On the tip of the foot, the compression system provides users with more surface contact to the ground for increase friction and stability. The advantages of the present invention decrease the likelihood a user will roll or sprain their ankle and increase the stability for lateral movements in both directions.
