“…One of the most important components of athletic shoes is the sole. The sole of an athletic shoe is made up of a number of components, two of which are the midsole and the outsole (Caselli, 2006;McPoil, 1988;Hilgers, Mayer, & Walther, 2009). The outsole of a shoe is the part of the shoe that comes in contact with ground and provides traction.…”

The focus of this study was to investigate the effects that different basketball shoe outsole tread patterns have on the amount of slip and therefore the performance of the individual while undergoing normal basketball transitions. Tread grooves and patterns must exist on the outsole of a basketball shoe to account for the chances of contamination and for the practical durability of the shoes. With the existence of so many basketball shoes with varying tread patterns and characteristics it presents the question of whether or not varying patterns affect traction, slip, and athletic performance. This study evaluated the amount of slips of two pairs of basketball shoes with human participants running basketball drills on a hardwood basketball floor at Wartburg College. The results indicated that one shoe with a more unique tread pattern exhibited fewer slips and severe slips, especially when considering lateral movements, than the shoe with a tread pattern seen more often in shoes available on the market today.

This study evaluated the amount of slips of two pairs of basketball shoes with human participants running basketball drills on a hardwood basketball floor at Wartburg College. The results indicated that one shoe with a much more unique tread pattern performed better with fewer slips, and fewer severe slips, especially when considering lateral movements than the other shoe which had a tread pattern with similar tread characteristics to many other currently available market shoes.
