Material solutions for sport, fashion, and technical footwear
Footwear design is a world where aesthetics, functionality, and durability must coexist seamlessly.
MAB tapes and fabrics integrate perfectly into every category — from performance sneakers to fashion footwear and technical/professional shoes — delivering quality, reliability, and a distinctive material identity.
With full vertical production, we provide a tested standard range as well as custom developments, using innovative fibers, advanced processes, and personalized finishes.
In modern sneakers, materials are part of the architecture.
Our products for sport footwear include:
- bonding-ready heat-seal inserts for clean, lightweight, contemporary lines;
- supportive structural tapes to enhance stability and performance;
- custom aesthetic details, including prints, gripper effects, and color finishes;
- high abrasion resistance, essential for demanding daily use.
From performance models to lifestyle sneakers, MAB materials bridge the gap between function and style.
Fashion footwear combines elegance, comfort, and identity.
Our materials are ideal for:
- premium elastic inserts, perfect for Chelsea boots and laceless shoes;
- lacing tapes, soft, resistant, and fully customizable;
- decorative ribbons that define silhouettes and stylistic details;
- refined finishes, achieved through precise dyeing and printing techniques.
Every tape becomes a design element that elevates the shoe’s character.
Extreme applications require exceptional materials.
MAB solutions for technical footwear provide:
- maximum durability for safety shoes and work footwear;
- high mechanical performance, ideal for ski boots, climbing shoes, and trekking;
- high-tenacity fibers and specialized elastics;
- long-term stability, even under intense stress or harsh conditions;
