  • Patent number: 10226098
    Abstract: A method of making a shoe includes printing a midsole having a platform and a lattice structure. The platform and lattice structure are integrally formed by printing a first surface of the platform to conform to a sole of a foot of a user and, in association therewith, printing the lattice structure on a second surface of the platform opposite the first surface of the platform. The method also includes positioning the midsole substantially within an outsole such that the lattice structure is substantially facing the outsole and the platform is substantially facing an upper.

  • Publication number: 20180295943
    Abstract: An article of footwear includes a sole and an upper that includes a heel end, a toe end, a medial side, and a lateral side. The upper defines a throat opening between the medial and lateral sides, and the sole and the upper jointly defining a foot cavity. The article of footwear further includes a support member extending from a first side of the article of footwear to a second side of the article of footwear, and an actuator fixedly attached to the support member at the first side of the article of footwear. A securing strap extends across the throat opening and has a first end operably connected to the actuator and a second end fixedly connected to the second side of the article of footwear.

  • Publication number: 20170273404
    Abstract: An article of footwear includes a sole structure and an upper secured to the sole structure. The upper includes a heel section, lateral side section, medial side section, instep and toe cage that define an interior cavity operable to receive a foot of a wearer. At least a portion of the upper includes a laminate, where the laminate includes an inner layer facing the cavity, an outer layer forming an exterior of the shoe, and an intermediate layer disposed between inner and outer layers, the intermediate layer comprising a reinforcing layer having a rigidity that is greater than the rigidity of the inner and outer layers. The reinforcing layer extends from the lateral side section to the medial side section.

  • Publication number: 20160324269
    Abstract: An article of footwear includes an upper and an adjustable lacing system. The adjustable lacing system includes a plurality of fastener engaging elements located at the medial and lateral sides of the upper, where at least one of the medial side and the lateral side includes sets of fastener engaging elements. Each set of fastener engaging elements is distanced from another set in a direction transverse a lengthwise direction of the upper, and the fastener engaging elements are configured to engage with and retain a fastener structure that extends between the medial and lateral sides of the upper such that the fastener structure can be selectively engaged with different sets of fastener engaging elements to adjust a fit of the upper around a width of the foot disposed within the cavity.

  • Publication number: 20160192740
    Abstract: An article of footwear includes an upper and a sole coupled to the upper. The sole includes a platform and a lattice. The platform includes an upper surface and a lower surface opposite the upper surface. The lattice extends from the second surface of the platform. The lattice includes a plurality of laths forming a plurality of complete cell units and a plurality of incomplete cell units. Each lath has a longitudinal structure with a longitudinal axis and two ends. Each complete cell unit is defined by a plurality of complete laths and no incomplete laths. Each of the complete laths extends between two vertices of the complete cell unit. Each incomplete cell unit is defined by at least one incomplete lath. Each incomplete lath extends from one vertices and terminates without extending to another vertices.
