Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of basketball shoe technology, and in particular to a protective basketball shoe. Background Technology
[0002] Basketball, one of my country's three major ball sports, is an important part of modern sports in my country. Its strong teamwork, high entertainment value, and intense competition make it popular among sports enthusiasts and enjoy a broad mass appeal. However, with the increasing number of participants, the number of injuries in basketball is also rising. As a highly competitive team sport involving walking, running, and jumping, basketball involves intense physical contact, making it prone to various sports injuries. Therefore, the support, cushioning, and lateral protection of basketball shoes are essential key characteristics.
[0003] However, when people wear basketball shoes to play basketball, the feet are the most vulnerable to impacts from opponents, especially the sides of the sole. Because traditional basketball shoes focus more on torsional rigidity and cushioning, they are less likely to provide effective protection for the sides of the athlete's feet. Utility Model Content
[0004] This utility model discloses a protective basketball shoe, which mainly solves the problem that traditional basketball shoes cannot provide effective protection for the sides of the foot.
[0005] To achieve the aforementioned objective, the technical solution of this utility model is implemented as follows:
[0006] This utility model provides a protective basketball shoe, including an upper and a sole, wherein the upper and sole are, from one end to the other, a toe section, a forefoot section, and a heel section;
[0007] The shoe upper has a first protective component and a cushioning component on the side corresponding to the sole and heel. The first protective component includes an integrally formed first connecting plate and a second connecting plate. The second connecting plate has a C-shaped structure, with a slot for accommodating the cushioning component on one side. The cushioning component includes a base plate that matches the slot, and an air bladder protruding from the shoe upper is provided on the base plate.
[0008] The sole includes a base connected to the upper. A second protective member is provided on the side of the base corresponding to the toe, forefoot, and heel.

[0034] The names of the messages or information exchanged between the multiple devices in this embodiment of the invention are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of these messages or information.
[0035] See Figures 1 to 5 The present invention provides a protective basketball shoe, including an upper 1 and a sole 2, wherein the upper 1 and the sole 2 are respectively a toe part, a fore part and a heel part from one end to the other.
[0036] The shoe upper 1 has a first protective member 11 and a cushioning member 12 on the sides corresponding to the forefoot and heel. The first protective member 11 includes an integrally formed first connecting plate 111 and a second connecting plate 112. The second connecting plate 112 has a C-shaped structure, with a slot 113 on one side for accommodating the cushioning member 12. The cushioning member 12 includes a base plate 121 that matches the slot 113. An airbag 122 protruding from the shoe upper 1 is provided on the base plate 121. The width of the second connecting plate 112 gradually decreases away from the shoe upper 1, that is, the surface of the second connecting plate 112 has a pointed tip. This pointed tip allows the second connecting plate 112 to provide local protection for the airbag 122, preventing the airbag 122 from being completely flattened and damaged by impact. The first protective member 11 can be made of TPU material.
[0037] The sole 2 includes a base 21 connected to the upper 1. A second protective member 22 is provided on the sides of the base 21 corresponding to the toe, forefoot, and heel. The second protective member 22 includes a cover plate 221 covering the sides of the base 21 corresponding to the toe, forefoot, and heel. The cover plate 221 protrudes from the sides of the base 21. A first protective protrusion 222 and a second protective protrusion 223 are respectively provided on the cover plate 221 at positions corresponding to the forefoot and heel. The first protective protrusion 222 protrudes from the cover plate 221, and the second protective protrusion 223 protrudes from the first protective protrusion 222. The base 21 may be made of rubber, and the second protective member 22 may be made of TPU material.
[0038] With the above structure, the first protective member 11 and the buffer member 12 on the left and right sides of the shoe upper 1 work together. The first connecting plate 111 and the second connecting plate 112 of the first protective member 11 can protect the left and right sides of the shoe upper 1. The airbag 122 on the buffer member 12 can provide initial cushioning to reduce the impact force. With the second protective member 22 set on the base 21 of the sole 2, the first protective protrusion 222 and the second protective protrusion 223 of the second protective member 22 can cushion the impact, thereby protecting the left and right sides of the base 21 of the sole 2, so as to provide effective protection for the sides of the foot.
[0039] In one embodiment, see Figure 4 and Figure 6 The bottom of the base 21 is provided with multiple anti-slip protrusions 211 corresponding to the toe, forefoot, and heel. In practical applications, the anti-slip protrusions 211 can provide anti-slip protection for the corresponding toe, forefoot, and heel areas of the base 21.
[0040] The base 21 has circular anti-slip areas 212 on the left and right sides corresponding to the sole of the shoe. Two continuous S-shaped grooves 213 are provided along the two circular anti-slip areas 212 on the base 21. C-shaped grooves 214 are provided between adjacent S-shaped grooves 213 along the outer periphery of the two circular anti-slip areas 212. In practical applications, the S-shaped grooves 213 and C-shaped grooves 214 improve the anti-slip effect of this area and enhance the elasticity of the sole. This allows the S-shaped grooves 213 and C-shaped grooves 214 to provide space for the torsion of the base 21 at the position corresponding to the sole when torsional forces occur.
[0041] The bottom of the base 21 has a circular groove 215 corresponding to the heel area. Multiple spaced first grooves 216 are arranged along the outer periphery of the circular groove 215, with one end of each first groove 216 communicating with the circular groove 215. Each first groove 216 has a first protrusion 217. In practical applications, the cooperation of the circular groove 215, the first grooves 216, and the first protrusions 217 prevents the base 21 from forming a water film on the heel area when it comes into contact with water, thus avoiding affecting the anti-slip effect at that location.
[0042] A second groove 218 is provided between adjacent first grooves 216, and a second protrusion 219 is provided in each second groove 218. In practical application, the anti-slip effect of the heel can be guaranteed by the cooperation of the second grooves 218 and the second protrusions 219 with the first protrusions 217.
[0043] In one embodiment, see Figure 1 and Figure 7 The shoe upper 1 has a heel protection component 3 on the rear side corresponding to the heel. The heel protection component 3 includes a shell 31 that covers the surface of the shoe upper 1, a raised ring 32 along the outer edge of the shell 31, and a raised block 33 in the raised ring 32, protruding from the raised ring 32. In practical use, the raised ring 32 and the raised block 33 of the heel protection component 3 work together to provide cushioning and protection for the rear side of the heel of the shoe upper 1.

[0045] Those skilled in the art should understand that the above embodiments are merely for clearly illustrating the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. For those skilled in the art, other changes or modifications can be made based on the above-described invention, and these changes or modifications still fall within the scope of the present invention.
