Foamposite One patent

Like most inventions, we often see shoes pass through the halls of the U.S. Patent Office. Thanks to the careful sleuthing of Gary Warnett, today we get a look at the Nike Air Foamposite One Patent papers. While it all looks a bit archaic to be honest, the papers show parts of the process and components that go into creating the DMV’s favorite silhouette. Filed way back in 1996, the images show how to make footwear with a pourable foam, complete with “super gases,” and thermoplastic urethanes.
