SOLE PATTERN STUDYPattern elements are contained within the sole area.

01 / Pattern options

Explore Grip Pattern Options

Pattern scale, spacing and coverage should be reviewed together with the selected sock construction.

01 · BALANCED REPEAT

Distributed Coverage

Repeated dots or simplified shapes can create a consistent visual field while allowing spacing around flex areas.

02 · DIRECTIONAL

Movement-led Layout

Stripes, chevrons or angled elements create a clear direction and should be positioned around the sole outline and flex zones.

03 · BRAND-LED

Logo-derived Motif

A simplified logo or brand element can become a sole motif when line weight, small gaps and repeat scale remain producible.

Illustrative pattern concepts. Final layout is confirmed during sampling.

02 / Artwork input

Prepare Your Grip Pattern Artwork

Vector artwork is preferred. Complex graphics may need simplification so small shapes, gaps and text remain clear at sole scale.

We review the artwork direction against the sock outline and discuss production feasibility before sampling.

Preferred formatAI, EPS, SVG or editable PDF where available.

ScaleIntended dimensions or a sole outline reference.

ColorsPantone references or agreed color targets.

Minimum detailFine lines and narrow gaps may require adjustment.

Coverage zonesPriority areas plus any no-print or flex zones.

Brand permissionConfirmation of the right to use supplied artwork.

03 / Sample review

Artwork check

Review scale, repeat, coverage, color direction and production limitations.

Placement proof

Confirm the relationship between the graphic and the sole shape.

Physical sample

Review appearance, placement, flexibility and grip-application consistency.

Written comments

Record revisions against the current artwork and sample version.

Bulk reference

Confirm which sample and written specification govern production.

Intended use matters. Grip performance depends on more than the visible pattern. Share your intended use and testing requirements so they can be considered during sample development and the agreed quality review.
