Sneaker materials are used in a wider range than leather shoes and cloth shoes. Sneaker’s materials are used extensively on the upper surface, such as textile materials, leather, artificial leather, and synthetic materials. In the outsole materials, in addition to rubber, PU, and PVC, various thermoplastic elastomers, polymer composite materials, and functional materials such as EVA, TPR, and SBS are also used in large quantities. In terms of accessories, metal parts and plastic parts are also used more than leather shoes and cloth shoes. At the same time, Sneaker’s functional requirements have greatly promoted the research and development process of new varieties of materials.
