Abstract: A weightlifting shoe has a bottom sole, a midsole comprising a thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU), and one or more panels attached to one or both of the midsole and the bottom sole to define an enclosure for a person's foot. The midsole may be disposed above at least a portion of the bottom sole and may have a decreasing thickness in a direction from a rear region of the bottom sole toward a front region of the bottom sole opposite the rear region. The enclosure may have an axis defined between opposing front and rear points on the enclosure at a longest part thereof and may have a width defined perpendicular to the axis. The width of the enclosure may have a maximum value at a position along the axis that is more than 70% of the way from the rear point to the front point.

Abstract: A swimsuit for competition swimming is contemplated as being formed with a seamless, continuous external surface across the rear of the lower torso and thigh portions of the swimsuit, and with a network of tension bands disposed interior to the external surface of the swimsuit for storing energy and resisting motion. The swimsuit may optimize the swimmer's swimming motion and posture, and improve the flow of water over and off of the swimsuit during competition.

Abstract: A training shoe includes a bottom sole, a midsole disposed above at least a portion of the bottom sole, one or more panels attached to one or both of the midsole and the bottom sole to define an enclosure for a person's foot, and a sidewall comprising a thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU). The sidewall may be disposed on at least a portion of the midsole and at least a portion of the one or more panels so as to define part of an external surface of the training shoe. The sidewall may extend upward past a bottom of the enclosure on either or both of an outer side of the training shoe and an inner side of the training shoe. The sidewall may extend from the outer side of the training shoe to the inner side of the training shoe along a rear of the training shoe.

Abstract: Eyewear includes a frame, a pair of nose pads, and a pair of temples. Each of the nose pads may have a surface that faces a respective side of the wearer's nose. The eyewear may include a pair of nose grips disposed respectively on the nose pads, each of the nose grips defining a plurality of nose grip surfaces that face the respective side of the wearer's nose and are offset toward the wearer's nose from the surface of the respective nose pad. Each of the temples may have a surface that faces a respective side of the wearer's head. The eyewear may include a pair of temple grips disposed respectively on the temples, each of the temple grips defining a plurality of temple grip surfaces that face the respective side of the wearer's head and are offset toward the wearer's head from the surface of the respective temple.

Abstract: A display hanger for hanging first and second footwear items on a hanger support includes a base having a first and second end portions, and a central portion between the first and second end portions. A first footwear engagement element is coupled to the base at the first end portion and is rotatable relative to the base about a first rotation axis. A second footwear engagement element is coupled to the base at the second end portion and is rotatable relative to the base about a second rotation axis separate from the first rotation axis. The first and second footwear engagement elements are engageable with respective first and second footwear items. A support body is coupled to the central portion of the base and is rotatable relative to the base about a central rotation axis, with the support body being configured to be selectively engageable with the hanger support.

Abstract: A swimsuit for competition swimming is contemplated as being formed with a network of tension bands disposed interior to the external surface of the swimsuit for storing energy and resisting motion, and with a plurality of reinforcement liners configured to complement the functionality of the network of tension bands while maintaining strength and flexibility in targeted locations while prevent intrusion of water from being retained within the components of the suit through a network of strategically positioned drains. The swimsuit may optimize the swimmer's swimming motion with reduced discomfort and without degrading prematurely due to wear.
