1. A method of manufacturing a shoe outsole, the method comprising:
applying an initial application of adhesive to at least a portion of the shoe outsole such that at least a portion of the shoe outsole is covered with the adhesive;
depositing an initial application of a first plurality of particles of a selected material onto the initial application of adhesive via electrostatic flocking to provide the shoe outsole with a first coat of particles;
applying a subsequent application of adhesive to at least one region of the shoe outsole over the first coat of particles such that the subsequent application of adhesive completely covers at least a portion of the first coat of particles; and
depositing a subsequent application of a second plurality of particles onto the subsequent application of adhesive to provide the shoe outsole with a second coat of particles.
