Abstract: This invention concerns a sole element for a cleated article of footwear, in particular for a football shoe. The sole element includes a composite element with an anisotropic bending property. The sole element further includes a polymer element, and the polymer element at least partially covers the composite element of the sole element.

Abstract: An outsole for a shoe including first and second sole segments that overlap at least partially. The first sole segment can include at least one stud and be arranged at least in a mid-foot portion of the outsole. The second sole segment can include at least one stud and be arranged at least in a toe portion of the outsole. In some embodiments, the outsole can include a first cushion element arranged between the first sole segment and the second sole segment and overlapping with at least one first stud of the first or second sole segment. In some embodiments, the outsole can include a second cushion element being arranged between the first sole segment and the second sole segment and overlapping with at least one second stud of the first or second sole segment. In some embodiments, the outsole may be an outsole for a football shoe.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an outsole for a shoe, in particular for a soccer shoe, and it further relates to a shoe with such an outsole, and to a method for the manufacture of such items. Provided is an outsole for a shoe, in particular for a soccer shoe, which comprises: a first main stud disposed on a bottom surface of the outsole, and a first peripheral stud disposed on a peripheral surface of the outsole, wherein a tip of the first main stud and a tip of the first peripheral stud are linked by a first bridge portion. Also provided is an outsole for a shoe, in particular for a soccer shoe, comprising: a first main stud disposed on a bottom surface of the outsole, and a first peripheral stud disposed on a peripheral surface of the outsole, wherein the first peripheral stud has a generally triangular shape, preferably wherein two corners are pointing outwards and one corner is pointing inwards.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an upper for a shoe, including an inner layer; an outer layer overlapping the inner layer at least partially; wherein the outer layer includes a plurality of cuts; wherein the inner layer includes a plurality of protrusions; wherein each cut at least partially overlaps at least one protrusion; wherein each protrusion causes an extension in width of its corresponding cut when the shoe is worn.
