The structures provided for shoe articles and athletic articles include foams. A variety of foams and foam structures and compositions for making the foams are provided. In some aspects, the foam and structure, including the foam, may have unexpectedly improved durability and flexibility while still having high energy resilience. In particular, the midsole including the foam is manufactured for use in shoe articles. A method for producing the above composition and a foam is presented, and a method for manufacturing a shoe article including the foam structure is also proposed. In some aspects, the foam and the foam structure may be produced via injection molding or compression molding after injection molding. |
