6. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the upper toe portion comprises:

a toe cup for stabilizing positioning of a big toe within the apparatus.

7. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the upper toe portion comprises:

a ball of foot cup for stabilizing positioning of a foot within the apparatus.

8. The apparatus of claim 1 further comprises:

the fourth slope having an opposite polarity of the first slope;

the fifth slope having the opposite polarity of the second slope; and

the sixth slope having the opposite polarity of the third slope.

9. A shoe comprises:

an upper section; and

a sole coupled to the upper section, wherein the sole includes:

a specific bottom; and

an athletic positioning sole section having:

a heel section having an upper heel portion positioned substantially over a lower heel portion;

mid-foot section having a top mid-foot portion positioned substantially over a lower mid-foot portion; and

a toe section having an upper toe portion positioned substantially over a lower toe portion, wherein:

the upper heel portion, the upper mid-foot portion, and the upper toe portion collectively have a first geometric shape having a first slope along an inner edge of the athletic positioning sole section from a front edge of the athletic positioning sole section to approximately a rear edge of the athletic positioning sole section, a second slope from the inner edge of the athletic positioning sole section to an outer edge of the athletic positioning sole section, and a third slope along the outer edge of the athletic positioning sole section from the front edge of the athletic positioning sole section to the approximately a rear edge of the athletic positioning sole section, wherein the first slope is greater than the third slope, and wherein the second slope has a variable angle from the front edge of the athletic positioning sole section to the approximate rear edge of the athletic positioning sole section that is based on a difference between the first slope and the third slope; and the lower heel portion, the lower mid-foot portion, and the lower toe portion collectively have a second geometric shape having a fourth slope along the inner edge of the athletic positioning sole section from the front edge of the athletic positioning sole section to the approximately a rear edge of the shoe, a fifth slope from the inner edge of the athletic positioning sole section to an outer edge of the athletic positioning sole section, and a sixth slope along the outer edge of the athletic positioning sole section from the front edge of the athletic positioning sole section to the approximately a rear edge of the athletic positioning sole section, wherein the fourth slope is greater than the sixth slope, and wherein the fifth slope has a second variable angle from the front edge of the athletic positioning sole section to the approximately a rear edge of the athletic positioning sole section that is based on a difference between the fourth slope and the sixth slope.

10. The shoe of claim 9 , wherein the upper heel portion comprises:

a slope from the rear edge of the athletic positioning sole section to an intersection line.

11. The shoe of claim 9 , wherein the athletic positioning sole section further comprises:

a cushioning layer on a first surface of the athletic positioning sole section covering one or more of:

at least a portion of the upper heel portion;

at least a portion of the upper mid-foot portion; and

at least a portion of the upper toe portion.

12. The shoe of claim 9 , wherein the upper heel portion comprises:

a heel cup having a concaved shaped along a cross section of at least a portion of the width of the heel section and maintaining a substantially zero slope from the inner edge of the shoe to the outer edge of the athletic positioning sole section.
