Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of footwear technology, and in particular to a basketball shoe with a comfortable feel. Background Technology
[0002] Basketball is a high-intensity sport. In order to cope with the intense exercise, basketball shoes are needed that have good durability, support, stability, comfort and shock absorption. When existing basketball shoes are first worn, the upper and the instep are not yet broken in, so there is often a feeling of pressure on the instep. Therefore, a new type of basketball shoe is needed to solve this problem. Utility Model Content
[0003] Other features and advantages of this invention will be set forth in the description which follows, and will be apparent in part from the description, or may be learned by practicing the invention. The objects and other advantages of this invention may be realized and obtained by means of the structures particularly pointed out in the description and other accompanying drawings.
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the above-mentioned shortcomings and provide a basketball shoe with a comfortable feel.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this utility model is: a basketball shoe with a comfortable feel, comprising an upper, a tongue, and a sole, wherein the tongue comprises an outer layer and a cushioning sheet, the cushioning sheet being sandwiched within the outer layer, and the sole comprises a midsole and an outsole, wherein the midsole has a plurality of honeycomb-shaped protrusions on the upper forefoot and heel.
[0006] By adopting the above technical solution, the cushioning plate clamped inside the shoe tongue can reduce the pressure on the instep when wearing the shoe, making the foot feel more comfortable. The cushioning plate is made of foamed plastic with good elasticity and softness. The honeycomb protrusions on the midsole at the forefoot and heel can enhance the softness of the two pressure points, while producing a massage-like touch to further improve the comfort of the foot.
[0007] Preferably, the outer layer has a mesh structure. This invention enhances the breathability of the shoe tongue by setting the outer layer to a mesh structure.
[0008] Preferably, the buffer sheet has several perforations. This invention utilizes the perforations to enhance the deformation capacity of the buffer sheet, making it more flexible, and also to improve its breathability.
[0009] Preferably, the bottom of the midsole is provided with a mounting groove, and a reinforcing plate is disposed within the mounting groove. This invention utilizes the reinforcing plate to enhance the elasticity of the sole and provide stable support.
[0010] Preferably, the reinforcing plate includes a supporting portion and an elastic portion. The supporting portion is located at the midsection of the midsole, and the elastic portion is located at the forefoot of the midsole. A deformation hole is provided in the elastic portion, and the elastic portion forms a ring shape through the deformation hole. This invention uses the deformation hole to form a ring structure in the elastic portion, reducing the rigidity of the elastic portion and giving it excellent deformation capability. Combined with the elasticity of the material itself, this results in excellent ejection capability for the elastic portion.
[0011] Preferably, the support portion is provided with reinforcing ribs. This invention enhances the rigidity of the support portion through the reinforcing ribs, enabling it to provide more stable support.
[0012] Preferably, the reinforcing plate includes a support portion and an elastic portion. The support portion is located in the midsection of the midsole, and the elastic portion is located at the forefoot of the midsole. The elastic portion includes two elastic forks. The support portion of this invention has a larger width and greater rigidity, providing stable support for the arch of the foot. The two elastic forks are narrower, offering better deformation performance, thereby enhancing the elasticity of the sole at the forefoot and providing excellent launch performance.
[0013] Preferably, the support portion is provided with three reinforcing ridges, with the reinforcing ridges on both sides extending to the elastic fork. The three reinforcing ridges of this invention can improve the rigidity of the support portion, enabling it to provide more stable support. The height of the reinforcing ridges extending to the elastic fork gradually decreases and only extends to the connection between the elastic fork and the support portion, minimizing the impact on deformation capacity while strengthening the elastic fork.
[0014] Preferably, the sole is fixedly connected to a lateral support, which wraps around the toe of the upper. This invention utilizes the lateral support to provide lateral support to the upper, offering more stable support when the upper is subjected to lateral pressure from the foot.
[0015] Preferably, the lateral support has elastic holes on its side. This invention utilizes elastic holes to improve the deformation capacity of the lateral support, making it slightly softer and improving comfort.
[0016] In summary, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0017] 1. The cushioning pad clipped inside the shoe tongue can reduce the pressure on the instep when wearing the shoe, making the foot feel more comfortable.
[0018] 2. The honeycomb-shaped protrusions on the forefoot and heel enhance the softness of these two pressure points, while also creating a massage-like sensation to further improve foot comfort.

[0034] Example 1
[0035] like Figure 1-3 As shown, a comfortable basketball shoe includes an upper 1, a tongue 2, and a sole 3. The tongue 2 includes an outer layer 4 and a cushioning sheet 5, with the cushioning sheet 5 sandwiched inside the outer layer 4. The sole 3 includes a midsole 6 and an outsole 7. The midsole 6 has several honeycomb-shaped protrusions 8 on the upper forefoot and heel.
[0036] By adopting the above technical solution, the cushioning piece 5 clamped inside the shoe tongue 2 can reduce the pressure on the instep when wearing the shoe, making the foot feel more comfortable. The cushioning piece 5 is made of foamed plastic and has good elasticity and softness. The honeycomb protrusions 8 set on the forefoot and heel of the midsole 6 can enhance the softness of the two pressure points, and at the same time produce a massage-like touch to further improve the comfort of the foot.
[0037] The outer layer 4 has a mesh structure. By making the outer layer 4 a mesh structure, the breathability of the tongue 2 can be enhanced.
[0038] The buffer sheet 5 has several perforations. The perforations enhance the deformability of the buffer sheet 5, making it more flexible, and also improve its breathability.
[0039] The bottom of the midsole 6 has a mounting groove, within which a reinforcing plate 9 is installed. The reinforcing plate 9 enhances the elasticity of the sole 3 and provides stable support.
[0040] The reinforcing plate 9 includes a support portion 10 and an elastic portion 11. The support portion 10 is located in the middle of the midsole 6, and the elastic portion 11 is located at the forefoot of the midsole 6. A deformation hole 12 is provided in the elastic portion 11, and the elastic portion 11 forms a ring shape through the deformation hole 12. By forming a ring structure through the deformation hole, the rigidity of the elastic portion 11 is reduced, giving the elastic portion 11 a good deformation capacity. Combined with the elasticity of the material itself, the elastic portion 11 has a good ejection capacity.
[0041] The support portion 10 is provided with a reinforcing rib 13. The reinforcing rib 13 can enhance the rigidity of the support portion 10, enabling the support portion 10 to provide more stable support.
[0042] The sole 3 is fixedly connected to a lateral support 15, which wraps around the toe of the upper 1. The lateral support 15 provides lateral support to the upper 1, providing more stable support when the upper 1 is subjected to lateral pressure from the foot.
[0043] The lateral support 15 has elastic holes 16 on its side. The elastic holes 16 can improve the deformation capacity of the lateral support 15, making the lateral support 15 slightly softer and improving comfort.
[0044] Example 2
[0045] like Figure 3-4As shown, the reinforcing plate 9 includes a support portion 10 and an elastic portion 11. The support portion 10 is located in the midsection of the midsole 6, and the elastic portion 11 is located at the forefoot of the midsole 6. The elastic portion 11 includes two elastic forks 14. The support portion 10 is wider and has greater rigidity, providing stable support for the arch of the foot. The two elastic forks 14 are narrower and have better deformation performance, thereby enhancing the elasticity of the sole 3 at the forefoot and providing excellent launch performance.
[0046] The support portion 10 is provided with three reinforcing ridges 13, with the reinforcing ridges 13 on both sides extending to the elastic fork 14. The three reinforcing ridges 13 can improve the rigidity of the support portion 10, enabling the support portion 10 to provide more stable support. The height of the reinforcing ridges 13 extending to the elastic fork 14 gradually decreases and only extends to the connection between the elastic fork 14 and the support portion 10, which has little impact on the deformation capacity while strengthening the elastic fork 14.
[0047] It should be noted that many specific details have been set forth in the above description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.
