Abstract

Athletic shoes may include a blade runner that may aid a wearer with speed and/or jumping. The blade runner may be an extension below the sole of the athletic shoe that may function as a lever. Inclusion of this extension may allow the wearer to run with enhanced speed and/or may improve the height and/or distance that a wearer may jump. The extension may be formed of carbon fiber and/or a composite material capable of withstanding extreme stress tolerances that may be associated with running and/or jumping. A cap may be attached to a leading edge of the extension to allow for greater traction.
