Publication number: 20200297065Abstract: A slipper that is an assemblable slipper is proposed. The slipper is assembled without use of an adhesive, used with any design as desired by the user, and is easy to carry. The slipper can be assembled, without use of an adhesive by inserting a band into a sole portion and fixing the band with a bed. In effect, when the slipper is carried or is not in use, a space for carrying can be reduced by separating the band from the sole portion, and it is also easy to react to damage or separation of the band. In addition, as it is easy to replace the band, the slipper can be easily replaced with a design as desired by the user. In this regard, the present invention is effective in extending the life of the slipper as a result of replacement of the band.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 16, 2019Publication date: September 24, 2020Inventors: Jae Eun DO, HYEERYANG HEATHER DO

Publication number: 20200297066Abstract: A flexible insert or tongue for a sports shoe for kicking a ball which self activates upon the strike of a ball to deform in a manner that conforms to the struck curvature surface of the ball to assist in conforming the shoe surface material or the shoe tongue material to the same struck area of the ball and increase the wearers' control and accuracy of the kicked ball. Following the strike the flexible insert or tongue reforms to its original shape and structure for the next strike.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 16, 2017Publication date: September 24, 2020Inventor: Richard Covel

Publication number: 20200297069Abstract: An article of footwear may have a knitted component with an overfoot portion and an underfoot portion. At least one sole structure may be secured to the underfoot portion of the knitted component. A first surface of the underfoot portion, facing away from the at least one sole structure, may be formed as a first knit layer of the knitted component. A second layer of the knitted component, located between the first knit layer and the sole structure, may include a first thermoplastic material having a first melting temperature. A third layer, located between the second layer and the sole structure, may include a second thermoplastic material having a second melting temperature, where the second thermoplastic material is different than the first thermoplastic material. A transition region may be located between the second layer and the third layer.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 22, 2019Publication date: September 24, 2020Applicant: NIKE, Inc.Inventors: Torrey J.

Publication number: 20200297070Abstract: A footwear sole structure having a fluid-filled chamber including a tensile member is provided. The fluid-filled chamber includes a first barrier sheet, a second barrier sheet and the tensile member. The first barrier sheet is formed from a first thermoplastic material. The second barrier sheet is attached to the first barrier sheet and is formed from a second thermoplastic material. The first barrier sheet and the second barrier sheet cooperate to define an internal cavity. The tensile member is disposed within the internal cavity and is formed from a third thermoplastic material. A first weld attaches the first barrier sheet, the second barrier sheet, and the tensile member together by melding the first thermoplastic material of the first barrier sheet, the second thermoplastic material of second barrier sheet, and the third thermoplastic material of the tensile member.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 10, 2020Publication date: September 24, 2020Applicant: NIKE, Inc.Inventors: Sean Conway, Shaun J.
