  • Publication number: 20250366566
    Abstract: Articles of footwear comprising an additively manufactured sole. In some embodiments, the article of footwear may comprise a sole, an upper, and a joining element coupling the sole to the upper. In some embodiments, the sole may comprise a three-dimensional mesh with a ground-facing portion and a ledge formed on an upper side of the mesh. The ledge may comprise a continuous side surface that is coupled to the joining element. In some embodiments, the sole may comprise an undulating lower side comprising a plurality of bumps and a plurality of valleys positioned between respective bumps. In some embodiments, the sole may comprise a continuous ground-facing rim formed on a perimeter portion of a lower side of the sole.

  • Publication number: 20240365922
    Abstract: Midsoles for articles of footwear are formed of a variety of three dimensional mesh lattices. The lattices can be populated by unit cells of various base geometries. Some base geometries are structures of struts and nodes that approximate the overall shape of an implicit surface. Some base geometries are structures of struts and nodes that include struts having at least two different effective diameters. Some lattices are compound lattices that include and blend together at least two lattices populated by cells having different base geometries. Some compound lattices have a skin that includes beams extending across multiple cells at the exterior of the compound lattice.
