Today’s Patent – Footwear With Full-Length Midsole And Hollow Cupsole

The said invention (US12225962B1) was invented by Mark R. Goldston, Adam Goldston, Ryan Goldston, and Cody Harris and patented by USPTO on April 12^th, 2024. Currently, it stands assigned to Athletic Propulsion Labs LLC.

The invention disclosed is a footwear that can mitigate and absorb force exerted on the feet of a wearer. The footwear can include a hollowed cupsole that includes an inner surface and a lateral wall. The inner surface and the lateral wall of the cupsole form a first receptacle.  A midsole can be arranged within the first receptacle and can have a length equal to the length of the first receptacle.

The midsole can absorb the force exerted on the foot by a surface and provide uniform energy return and cushioning to the foot. The cupsole is composed of a flexible or resilient material to allow the cupsole to deform in response to any force and allow for a greater absorption of force by the cupsole and the overall footwear. A combination of the midsole and the cupsole can provide the player with comfort and alleviate pressure when performing activities.
