Shoe including a tread pattern

A shoe comprising:

• an upper;
• and
• an outsole coupled to the upper, the outsole including:
• a surface;
• and
• a tread pattern arranged on the surface, the tread pattern including a plurality of tread members, each tread member of the plurality of tread members having a first arm and a second arm, wherein each of the first arm and the second arm tapers in height from a first height to a second height shorter than the first height;
• wherein each of the tread members is surrounded by a recess in the surface that increases a flexibility of the respective tread member;
• wherein the plurality of tread members is arranged in nested rows of the tread members.

An outsole comprising:

• a surface;
• and
• a tread pattern arranged on the surface, the tread pattern including a plurality of tread members, each tread member of the plurality of tread members having a first arm and a second arm, wherein each of the first arm and the second arm tapers in height from a first height to a second height shorter than the first height;
• wherein each of the tread members is surrounded by a recess in the surface that increases a flexibility of the respective tread member;
• wherein the first arm and the second arm converge with each other at a junction;
• wherein each of the first arm and the second arm tapers in height from the first height at a proximal end proximate the junction to the second height at a distal end;
• wherein each of the first arm and the second arm define a convex ramp between the proximal end and the distal end.
