Abstract

The present invention relates to a sports shoe, in particular a tennis shoe, with an outsole shell made of an elastically deformable material. In accordance with the invention, the outsole shell is divided into a heel region, a forefoot region and a connecting region connecting these two regions, wherein an energy absorption element is integrated in the heel region.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A sports shoe, in particular tennis shoe, with an outsole shell made of an elastically deformable material, wherein the outsole shell is divided into a heel region, a forefoot region and a connecting region connecting these two regions, and an energy absorption element is integrated in the heel region. 
     
     
         2 . The sports shoe according to  claim 1 , wherein the energy absorption element is integrated in the middle heel region. 
     
     
         3 . The sports shoe according to  claim 1 , wherein the energy absorption element consists of a hat-shaped elastic element whose everted region is reinforced by molded lamellae distributed around the periphery. 
     
     
         4 . The sports shoe according to  claim 1 , wherein the connecting region consists of a three-dimensional molded part made of plastic material with a greater rigidity as compared to the remaining outsole shell material. 
     
     
         5 . The sports shoe according to  claim 1 , wherein the heel region and the forefoot region include one or more surface areas with one or different outsole profiles. 
     
     
         6 . The sports shoe according to  claim 1 , wherein the middle region of the forefoot region is rounded on its inwardly facing lateral edge. 
     
     
         7 . The sports shoe according to  claim 1 , wherein at the outer lateral edge of the forefoot region an edge region of a comparatively harder plastic material is inserted. 
     
     
         8 . The sports shoe according to  claim 1 , wherein the heel region is connected with the forefoot region via the connecting region such that the energy taken up via the energy absorption element can be transmitted to the forefoot region. 
     
     
         9 . The sports shoe according to  claim 2 , wherein the energy absorption element consists of a hat-shaped elastic element whose everted region is reinforced by molded lamellae distributed around the periphery. 
     
     
         10 . The sports shoe according to  claim 9 , wherein the connecting region consists of a three-dimensional molded part made of plastic material with a greater rigidity as compared to the remaining outsole shell material. 
     
     
         11 . The sports shoe according to  claim 3 , wherein the connecting region consists of a three-dimensional molded part made of plastic material with a greater rigidity as compared to the remaining outsole shell material. 
     
     
         12 . The sports shoe according to  claim 2 , wherein the connecting region consists of a three-dimensional molded part made of plastic material with a greater rigidity as compared to the remaining outsole shell material. 
     
     
         13 . The sports shoe according to  claim 12 , wherein the heel region and the forefoot region include one or more surface areas with one or different outsole profiles. 
     
     
         14 . The sports shoe according to  claim 11 , wherein the heel region and the forefoot region include one or more surface areas with one or different outsole profiles. 
     
     
         15 . The sports shoe according to  claim 10 , wherein the heel region and the forefoot region include one or more surface areas with one or different outsole profiles. 
     
     
         16 . The sports shoe according to  claim 9 , wherein the heel region and the forefoot region include one or more surface areas with one or different outsole profiles. 
     
     
         17 . The sports shoe according to  claim 4 , wherein the heel region and the forefoot region include one or more surface areas with one or different outsole profiles. 
     
     
         18 . The sports shoe according to  claim 3 , wherein the heel region and the forefoot region include one or more surface areas with one or different outsole profiles. 
     
     
         19 . The sports shoe according to  claim 2 , wherein the heel region and the forefoot region include one or more surface areas with one or different outsole profiles. 
     
     
         20 . The sports shoe according to  claim 15 , wherein the middle region of the forefoot region is rounded on its inwardly facing lateral edge.
