Features: The production of athletic shoes in China has developed into a global powerhouse through advancements in the late 20th century and early 21st century. It not only meets the demand of domestic consumers but also exports 3.5 billion pairs annually, employing nearly 6 million people and becoming one of the country's key processing industries. Due to its relatively late start, the cultivation of professionals with specialized knowledge has lagged behind, directly resulting in a severe talent shortage and the inability of technological progress and scientific research to meet the industry's development needs. Currently, several institutions have introduced courses on athletic shoe design, but there is a lack of comprehensive and practical teaching materials. To address the needs of industry development and talent cultivation, Shaanxi University of Science and Technology has organized university teachers and designers with rich practical experience in enterprises to jointly compile this textbook. This book is one of the specialized textbooks for higher education institutions, serving as a practical guide to athletic shoe design. It covers topics such as an introduction to athletic shoes, lasts and their design, the function and design of athletic shoes, the aesthetics and structure of athletic shoes, the design of uppers for athletic shoes, the design of soles for athletic shoes, and the production processes of athletic shoes. It is suitable for students majoring in footwear design in higher education institutions to study and use.
