Abstract
A shoe component co-molded with a physically foamed midsole includes a composite outsole and a physically foamed midsole. The composite outsole includes a base layer and a mesh layer having has a first surface and a second surface that face opposite directions. The first surface has a first surface structure and is engaged with the base layer. The second surface has a second surface structure different from the first surface structure. A bottom surface of the physically foamed midsole partially enters the second surface structure of the second surface to generate an anchor effect with the mesh layer.

A shoe component co-molded with a physically foamed midsole, comprising:
- a composite outsole comprising a base layer and a mesh layer co-molded with the base layer, wherein the base layer has a first top surface and a first bottom surface;
- the first bottom surface is adapted to contact a ground;
- the mesh layer has a first surface and a second surface that face opposite directions;
- the first surface has a first surface structure;
- the second surface has a second surface structure;
- the first surface structure is different from the second surface structure;
- the first surface is engaged with the first top surface of the base layer;
- and
- a physically foamed midsole formed from a supercritical fluid through physical foaming, wherein the physically foamed midsole has a second top surface and a second bottom surface;
- a part of the second bottom surface enters the second surface structure of the second surface to generate an anchor effect with the mesh layer;
- wherein the mesh layer comprises a first woven layer, an attachment layer, and a second woven layer;
- the first woven layer and the second woven layer are respectively bonded with the attachment layer and are respectively located on opposite sides of the attachment layer;
- an outer side of the first woven layer has the second surface;
- an outer side of the second woven layer has the first surface.
