Benefits of technology

[0004]By the present invention, a patch to protect sneakers from scratches and tear is disclosed. Stick Patch will maintain direct contact with the sneaker in whichever part of the sneaker it is placed, in order to protect it. Furthermore, the patch will come in many sizes and shapes in order to allow users to use the patch that fits the sneaker and appeals to the user. Accordingly, one of the objectives of the present invention is to improve skateboarding performance by the better grip caused when rubbing rubber with the sand paper surface of a skateboard. Another of the objectives of the present invention is to extend the use of the sneaker. Yet another objective of the present invention is to maintain the patch attached to the sneaker with a strong durable adhesive. Another objective of the present invention is to provide a patch for the purpose described which will be inexpensive and effective in accomplishing its intended purpose.

Problems solved by technology

Athletic sneakers worn for the use of skateboarding are prone to damage upon initial use.
The rubbing between the skateboard's sand paper and the sneaker causes the damage.
The sides of sneakers are made of materials that cannot withstand the constant rubbing that occurs between both the sneaker and the sand paper surface of a skateboard.
For example when skateboarders perform tricks, such as jumping with the skateboard, or make the skateboard flip, they have to rub the right or left side (which ever foot they use) of their sneaker with the surface of the skateboard, which ultimately scratches the sides of the sneaker, leading to the tear of the material.
As stated before when skateboarders perform tricks they have to rub the side of their sneaker with the board, however as a result of inappropriate material to withstand those activities bad grip is caused between the sneaker and the board.
