Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A pair of sports shoes, each sports shoe having a different sole, each sports shoe sole with functional topography, which comprises:
 (a.) a first sports shoe, said first sports shoe having a sole with a predetermined function-enhancing anchoring pattern of spikes on the bottom of its sole, said predetermined pattern of spikes including spikes being selected from the group consisting of a V-shaped spikes, a plurality of herringbone spikes, a plurality of parallel spikes and combinations thereof;   (b.) a second sports shoe, said second sports shoe having a sole with a predetermined function-enhancing pivoting pattern of spikes on the bottom of its sole, said predetermined pattern of spikes includes at least one circle or at least one segmented circle at a forward portion of said sole such that said predetermined pattern of spikes includes at least one curved spike selected from the group consisting of a circular spike, a plurality of concentric circular spikes, an arc, a plurality of arcs and combinations thereof.   
   
   
       2 . The pair of sports shoes of  claim 1  wherein each of said first sports shoe and said second sports shoe includes a toe area, a central area and a heel area, and said predetermined pattern of spikes is located at least on said toe area. 
   
   
       3 . The pair of sports of  claim 1  wherein each of said first sports shoe and said second sports shoe includes a toe area, a central area and a heel area, and said predetermined pattern of spikes is located at least on said toe area. 
   
   
       4 . The pair of sports of  claim 1  wherein each of said first sports shoe and said second sports shoe includes a toe area, a central area and a heel area, and said predetermined pattern of spikes is located at least on said heel area. 
   
   
       5 . The pair of sports of  claim 1  wherein each of said first sports shoe and said second sports shoe includes a toe area, a central area and a heel area, and said predetermined pattern of spikes is located at least on said toe area and said heel area. 
   
   
       6 . The pair of sports shoes of  claim 3  wherein said at least one curved spike of second shoe is located at said toe area. 
   
   
       7 . The pair of sports shoes of  claim 5  wherein said at least one curved spike of second shoe is located at said toe area. 
   
   
       8 . The pair of sports shoes of  claim 5  wherein said pattern of spikes at said toe area of said first shoe and said pattern of spikes of said toe area of said second shoe are different from one another. 
   
   
       9 . The pair of sports shoes of  claim 5  wherein said pattern of spikes at said toe area of said first shoe and said pattern of spikes at said toe area of said second shoe are different from one another, and said pattern of spikes at said heel area of said first sports shoe and said pattern of spikes at said heel of second sports shoe are the same. 
   
   
       10 . The pair of sports shoes of  claim 3  wherein said pattern of spikes at said toe area of said first shoe includes at least one X-shaped spike and said pattern of spikes at said toe area of said second shoe includes at least one V-shaped spike and at least one circle or circle segment spike. 
   
   
       11 . The pair of sports shoes of  claim 3  wherein said pattern of spikes at said toe area of said first shoe includes a plurality of V-shaped spikes and said pattern of spikes at said toe area of said second shoe includes a plurality of sinusoidal shaped spikes and at least one circle or circle segment spike. 
   
   
       12 . The pair of sports shoes of  claim 3  wherein said pattern of spikes at said toe area of said first shoe includes a plurality of V-shaped spikes and said pattern of spikes at said toe area of said second shoe includes a plurality of repeating arc shaped spikes and at least one circle or circle segment spike. 
   
   
       13 . The pair of sports shoes of  claim 3  wherein said pattern of spikes at said toe area of said first shoe includes a plurality of herringbone spikes and said pattern of spikes at said toe area of said second shoe includes a plurality of herringbone spikes and at least one circle or circle segment spike. 
   
   
       14 . The pair of sports shoes of  claim 9  wherein said pattern of spikes at said toe area of said first shoe includes at least one X-shaped spike and said pattern of spikes at said toe area of said second shoe includes at least one V-shaped spike and at least one circle or circle segment spike. 
   
   
       15 . The pair of sports shoes of  claim 9  wherein said pattern of spikes at said toe area of said first shoe includes a plurality of V-shaped spikes and said pattern of spikes at said toe area of said second shoe includes a plurality of sinusoidal shaped spikes and at least one circle or circle segment spike.
