[0016] In the application, the main components of the first material and the second material are all ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer, polyolefin elastomer and hydrogenated styrene-butadiene block copolymer, but due to the different positions of the first material and the second material in the midsole blank, the formula proportions of the two are quite different, by finely adjusting the mass proportions of the corresponding components, the first material enhances the support performance on the basis of better resilience, and the second material further enhances the resilience and shock absorption performance; at the same time, although the first material and the second material have different foaming ratios when they are foamed synchronously under different mass proportions, the shrinkage degrees of the two are basically the same in the cooling process after foaming due to the use of basically the same components, and the deformation of the midsole after foaming is caused by the inconsistent shrinkage degrees in the shrinkage process; and, in the first material and the second material, polyolefin elastomer is also added, which can help the surrounding strip part and the filling part maintain good shape stability in the shrinkage process; in addition, if the midsole after foaming deforms, it will also cause the position originally connected by glue between different materials to crack, and the surrounding strip part and the filling part in the application are bonded together when being injected, and physical cross-linking will occur at the bonding position of the surrounding strip part and the filling part during foaming, forming a space network structure, so that even if there is slight deformation of the surrounding strip part and the filling part in the cooling process after foaming, the connection of the two is very firm, and the edges of the two materials at the joint will not be uneven.

[0017] In the application, two kinds of ethylene vinyl acetate copolymers with different VA contents are used in the components, wherein the EVA with a VA content of 26% can provide basic hardness and wear resistance, so that the final material has good shock absorption effect, and the EVA with a VA content of 33% can bring better softness and elasticity to the material, so that the final material has good resilience; the amounts of the two kinds of ethylene vinyl acetate copolymers in the first material and the second material are different, thereby bringing different physical properties to the surrounding strip part and the filling part.

[0018] In addition, hydrogenated styrene-butadiene block copolymer is also specially added, and preferably star-shaped SEBS with a molecular weight of 300,000 to 350,000, adding a certain amount of star-shaped SEBS can improve the anti-deformation ability of the first material and the second material, and the first material and the second material can better maintain their own shapes in the shrinkage process after foaming. And SEBS itself has good mechanical properties, which can cooperate with ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer and polyolefin elastomer to improve the resilience of the final material, and also can improve the surface finish of the product.

[0028] After the midsole blank is prepared, it is placed in a foaming mold, the mold temperature is set to 172±3℃, and the mold is vacuumized. As the temperature of the blank increases from the surface to the inside, the whole blank is in a molten state, and the surrounding strip part and the filling part of the blank gradually expand under the action of the foaming agent. After 4-4.5 h, the foaming is completed, and the foamed midsole is obtained.

[0030] In the application, the main components of the first material and the second material are all ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer, polyolefin elastomer and hydrogenated styrene-butadiene block copolymer, but due to the different positions of the first material and the second material in the midsole blank, the formula proportions of the two are quite different, by finely adjusting the mass proportions of the corresponding components, the first material enhances the support performance on the basis of better resilience, and the second material further enhances the resilience and shock absorption performance; at the same time, although the first material and the second material have different foaming ratios when they are foamed synchronously under different mass proportions, the shrinkage degrees of the two are basically the same in the cooling process after foaming due to the use of basically the same components, and the deformation of the midsole after foaming is caused by the inconsistent shrinkage degrees in the shrinkage process; and, in the first material and the second material, polyolefin elastomer is also added, which can help the surrounding strip part and the filling part maintain good shape stability in the shrinkage process; in addition, if the midsole after foaming deforms, it will also cause the position originally connected by glue between different materials to crack, and the surrounding strip part and the filling part in the application are bonded together when being injected, and physical cross-linking will occur at the bonding position of the surrounding strip part and the filling part during foaming, forming a space net structure, so that even if there is slight deformation of the surrounding strip part and the filling part in the cooling process after foaming, the connection of the two is very firm, and the edges of the two materials at the joint will not be uneven.

[0031] In the application, two kinds of ethylene vinyl acetate copolymers with different VA contents are used in the components, wherein the EVA with a VA content of 26% can provide basic hardness and wear resistance, so that the final material has good shock absorption effect, and the EVA with a VA content of 33% can bring better softness and elasticity to the material, so that the final material has good resilience; the amounts of the two kinds of ethylene vinyl acetate copolymers in the first material and the second material are different, thereby bringing different physical properties to the surrounding strip part and the filling part.

And SEBS itself has good mechanical properties, which can cooperate with ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer and polyolefin elastomer to improve the resilience of the final material, and also can improve the surface finish of the product.

[0033] The low-temperature foaming agent can reduce the influence of the color of the foaming agent on the final material, and the foaming at low temperature can reduce the overall foaming ratio, so that the difference in the foaming ratio of the first material and the second material is reduced, and the deformation of the midsole after foaming is further improved.
