[0030] The following is combined with Figure 1-5 This application is described in further detail.

[0031] The embodiments of the present application disclose a high-support shoe upper and sports shoes.

[0032] Example 1

[0033] This embodiment discloses a high-support shoe upper.

[0034] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 A high-support shoe upper includes a shoe upper body 1, and the shoe upper body 1 includes a protective film layer 2, a hot melt adhesive film layer 3, a support layer 4, a reinforcement strip 5 and a mesh layer 6 arranged in sequence from the inside to the outside, and the hot melt adhesive layer is used to connect the support layer 4 to the protective film layer 2. The protective film layer 2, the hot melt adhesive film layer 3 and the support layer 4 are all made of TPU material. The support layer 4 is located on the left and right sides of the shoe upper body 1 and extends along the length direction of the shoe upper. The two edges of the support layer 4 that are far away from each other extend to the edge of the shoe upper for sole connection and the position where the shoe holes are set on the shoe upper.

[0035] Among them, TPU material has excellent elasticity and flexibility and is easy to process. The upper layers are made of TPU material, so that the upper has good softness, and by providing a support layer 4 and a hot melt adhesive film layer 3 on the protective film layer 2, the thickness and structural strength of the upper are strengthened on the left and right sides of the upper body 1, so that the left and right sides of the upper have higher support performance, thereby ensuring the wearing comfort of the upper and having better support performance for the wearer's feet.

[0036] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 , the reinforcing strip 5 is extended along the length direction of the upper body 1. The reinforcing strip 5 includes a first connecting portion 51 and a second connecting portion 52, the first connecting portion 51 is used to connect with the support layer 4, and the second connecting portion 52 is used to connect with the protective film layer 2. By providing the reinforcing strip 5, on the one hand, the thickness of the upper body 1 is further increased at the position where the first connecting portion 51 is located and at the position where the reinforcing strip 5 is connected to the support layer 4, thereby improving the support performance of the upper body 1; on the other hand, the reinforcing strip 5 is used to further strengthen the connection strength between the support layer 4 and the protective film layer 2, thereby reducing the risk of the support layer 4 falling off.

[0037] In this embodiment, the reinforcing strip 5 is bonded and fixed to the protective film layer 2 and the supporting layer 4. The material for making the reinforcing strip 5 may be TPU, or artificial leather or natural leather.

[0038] In this embodiment, the first connection portion 51 is connected to the surface of the support layer 4 facing away from the protective film layer 2. Since the second connection portion 52 of the reinforcing strip 5 is connected to the protective film layer 2, the reinforcing strip 5 has a covering effect on the edge of the support layer 4 and the protective film layer 2, so as to reduce the risk of dust or rain entering the edge of the support layer 4, thereby reducing the risk of the support layer 4 falling off from the protective film layer 2.

[0039] Furthermore, both the first connection portion 51 and the second connection portion 52 are provided with ventilation holes 53 to improve the ventilation performance of the upper and reduce the weight of the upper.

[0040] The mesh layer 6 is used to protect the edge of the support layer 4 and the protective film layer 2, reducing the risk of the support layer 4 falling off the protective film layer 2 due to scratches; at the same time, since the mesh layer 6 has a plurality of mesh holes, it can ensure that the upper has good breathability.

[0041] In the present embodiment, there are gaps between the mesh layer 6 and the support layer 4, and between the mesh layer 6 and the protective film layer 2, so that when the wearer walks or runs in the sports shoes made of the upper, the mesh layer 6 and the protective film layer 2 can adaptively move and deform respectively, thereby reducing the mutual pulling between the two and extending the service life of the upper, while also ensuring the supporting effect at the position of the support layer 4.

[0042] In this embodiment, the support layer 4 and the hot melt adhesive film layer 3 are integrally formed. During the forming process, the liquid hot melt adhesive is first applied to the protective film layer 2, and then the support layer 4 is 3D printed at the position of the hot melt adhesive before the hot melt adhesive is completely dry, so that a higher strength connection is established between the support layer 4 and the protective film layer 2, thereby reducing the risk of the support layer 4 falling off the protective film layer 2.

[0043] The protective film layer 2 is provided with a plurality of breathable micropores, which on the one hand improve the breathability of the sports shoes made of the upper, and on the other hand allow the hot melt adhesive to penetrate into the breathable pores, further improving the connection strength between the support layer 4 and the protective film layer 2. In this embodiment, the protective layer is a breathable mesh cloth.

[0044] In addition, the edge of the support layer 4 close to the upper body 1 is parallel to the edge of the shoe opening, and the support layer 4 covers the arch position corresponding to the upper, so that the support layer 4 can be arranged in pieces, which is convenient for 3D printing. On this basis, on the one hand, the material of the support layer 4 is saved, and on the other hand, the softness of the upper is maintained at the rear position of the upper, ensuring the wearing comfort of the shoes made of the upper.

[0045] In other embodiments, the support layer 4 may be formed first, and then the support layer 4 may be bonded and fixed to the protective film layer 2 through the hot melt adhesive film layer 3. In this case, the support layer 4 with the edge parallel to the shoe opening is more convenient for cutting. It is worth noting that in this case, the support layer 4 may also be perforated to improve the air permeability of the upper.

[0046] The implementation principle of Example 1 is as follows: by arranging a support layer 4 on the protective film layer 2, the thickness of the upper is strengthened on both sides of the upper body 1, and the local supporting force of the upper is improved at the position where the upper support is required; by arranging a reinforcing strip 5, the connection strength between the support layer 4 and the protective film layer 2 is improved, and the supporting force of the upper body 1 is also reinforced; by arranging a mesh layer 6, the mesh layer 6 is used to cover the support layer 4 and the reinforcing strip 5, so as to reduce the risk of warping of the edges of the support layer 4 and the reinforcing strip 5.

[0047] Example 2

[0048] Reference Figure 5 This embodiment discloses a sports shoe, including a high-support upper 7 and a sole 8, wherein the high-support upper 7 is connected to the sole 8, and the high-support upper 7 is the high-support upper 7 described in the embodiment.

[0049] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present application, and the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto. Therefore, any equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application.
