Patent number: 6810605Abstract: A sole structure for an athletic shoe includes a heel region and a forefoot region, a midsole of a soft elastic material including a midsole heel portion at the heel region, and an outsole of a harder material including an outsole heel portion at the heel region and an outsole forefoot portion that extends from the outsole heel portion to the forefoot region. The midsole heel portion has wavy corrugations on a lower surface thereof and a smooth plane on an upper surface thereof. The outsole heel portion includes a corrugated wavy plate with corrugations through its thickness, which are in phase with the wavy corrugations on the lower surface of the midsole heel portion.Type: GrantFiled: May 2, 2003Date of Patent: November 2, 2004Assignee: Mizuno CorporationInventors: Isao Nakano, Takaya Kimura, Seiichi Goto, Akihiro Miyauchi

Patent number: 6807752Abstract: An athletic shoe sole structure includes a midsole body that extends from a heel region to a forefoot region of a shoe, and an outsole body that is disposed under the midsole body, extends from the heel region to the forefoot region of the shoe, and is formed of a harder material than the midsole body. A heel portion of the outsole body includes a corrugation. The sole structure further includes a lower midsole disposed under the heel portion of the outsole body, an outsole heel portion attached at a lower surface of the lower midsole, and cleats provided at a lower surface of the outsole body. The sole structure having only two layers with the outsole and the midsole decreases the weight of the shoe, simplifies a manufacturing process, and reduces a manufacturing cost.Type: GrantFiled: March 14, 2003Date of Patent: October 26, 2004Assignee: Mizuno CorporationInventors: Isao Nakano, Takaya Kimura, Seiichi Goto, Akihiro Miyauchi

Patent number: 6557270Abstract: A shoe sole structure includes an outsole that extends from a heel region to a forefoot region of a shoe, and a midsole that is disposed above the outsole and extends from the heel region to a midfoot region of the shoe. A heel portion of the outsole includes a corrugated portion. A heel portion of the midsole includes a corrugated portion, which corresponds in phase to the corrugated portion of the outsole. Cleats are provided at a bottom surface of the outsole. The corrugated portion on the outsole provides running stability. The sole structure having only two layers with the outsole and the midsole decreases the weight of the shoe, simplifies a manufacturing process, and reduces a manufacturing cost.Type: GrantFiled: April 10, 2001Date of Patent: May 6, 2003Assignee: Mizuno CorporationInventors: Isao Nakano, Takaya Kimura, Seiichi Goto, Akihiro Miyauchi

Publication number: 20010039745Abstract: A sole structure having an outsole that extends from a heel region to a forefoot region of a shoe and a midsole that is disposed inside the outsole and extends from the heel region to a midfoot region of the shoe. The outsole includes a corrugated portion at a heel portion thereof. The midsole includes a corrugated portion at a heel portion thereof, which corresponds to the corrugated portion of the outsole. A plurality of cleats are provided at a bottom surface of the outsole. Forming the corrugated portion on the outsole makes it possible to secure a running stability. The sole structure having double layers with the outsole and the midsole decreases the weight of the shoe, simplifies a manufacturing process, and reduces a manufacturing cost.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 10, 2001Publication date: November 15, 2001Inventors: Isao Nakano, Takaya Kimura, Seiichi Goto, Akihiro Miyauchi
