<p>Apparatus and associated methods relate to articles of footwear with a reflective outsole and topographical features. In accordance with an exemplary embodiment, an article of footwear may have a reflective coating on the side-perimeter of the outsole. In another exemplary embodiment, the article of footwear may have a fluorescent or phosphorescent coating on the side-perimeter of the outsole. In some examples, the outsole may have topographical features for the purpose of providing wear resistance for the reflective coating. An exemplary embodiment may have an outsole which has negative topographical features. These negative topographical features may provide a recessed space for the light-illuminative material to reside within, such that a measure of abrasion protection is obtained. Still another embodiment may have both positive and negative topographical features on the outsole. In accordance with one exemplary embodiment, the reflective coating may include glass beads in an elastic polymer base.</p> |
