Abstract

Described are materials for a shoe upper, in particular for soccer shoes, with a particularly low weight and improved tensile strength. The material includes a first foil layer and a textile reinforcement layer, which is at least partially laminated with the first foil layer. The textile reinforcement layer includes a first textile material with at least three axes, each axis defining an orientation of a set of essentially parallel yarn-portions in the textile material.
