Footwear with a fabric-like soft touch and textured feel

The present invention relates to a method of making customizable footwear, with its individual components modular in nature and can be assembled by attachment means. More particularly, the present invention relates to a manufacturing method of injection molded customizable footwear which has a soft-touch feel and has texturing on it. The soft-touch feel is from the polymeric material which exhibits fabric-like soft-touch feel after molding. The textured feel is from the laser texturing process as well as to provide a form of visual authentication to differentiate the footwear from the rest of the players. This process is executed using 2K or two component or double-shot injection molding process with the fabric-feel polymeric material over-molded onto the plastic footwear. Essentially the footwear 1 described here in the embodiment of the present invention consists of the footwear platform 3, the inner sole 2, the outer sole 4, strap 5 and heel 6. All these different parts are modular in nature and can be molded separately. After molding out, all these parts can then be assembled together using attachments such as clip-on or snap-on types.
