Abstract: A non-transient computer-readable medium can contain instructions for causing a computing system to perform the method of selecting a base footwear structure, the base footwear structure including an upper that is configured to be coupled to a sole structure, retrieving a model of an article of footwear that can be formed from the selected base footwear structure, selecting one or more design elements from a plurality of available design elements associated with the model, updating the model based on the one or more selected design elements, and generating the article of footwear from the updated model. In some examples, the one or more design elements are design elements that can be added to or modified on the base footwear structure to form the article of footwear.

Abstract: An article of footwear includes an upper having a bladder that defines an interior void. The bladder is movable from an expanded state to a constricted state when fluid is removed from the interior void. A sole structure includes at least one flex groove. The at least one flex groove is movable from a relaxed state to an expanded state in response to movement of the bladder from the expanded state to the constricted state.

Abstract: Modular carrying systems including one or more chassis configured to be selectively donned by a user, one or more packs configured to selectively retain one or more objects and to be selectively coupled to and decoupled from the chassis via a mounting system. The mounting system includes a first member and a second member configured to interact with one another to removably couple a respective pack to a respective chassis. In some examples, the first and second members collectively define a releasable securing mechanism configured to restrict removal of the pack from the chassis when the first and second members are coupled. In some examples, selectively decoupling a pack from a chassis includes disengaging the releasable securing mechanism and pulling the pack away from the chassis. In some examples, the packs further comprise multiple sets of packs configured to be interchangeably mounted to a respective chassis.

Abstract: An article may include a base layer, which may be knitted, along with a first strand embroidered with the base layer at a first embroidered area. The first strand may include an elasticity that is less than an elasticity of the base layer, and the first strand may include a plurality of first lengths that extend in a first direction such that the first embroidered area of the article includes a first elasticity along the first direction. The first embroidered area of the article may include a second elasticity in a second direction, where the second direction is perpendicular to the first direction, and where the second elasticity is greater than the first elasticity.

Abstract: In one aspect, an article may include a base layer and a first strand comprising a thermoplastic polymer material. The first strand may be embroidered with the base layer. The thermoplastic polymer material of the first strand may at least partially adhere to the base layer. In another aspect, the article may include a first embroidered area and a second embroidered area. The first embroidered area may have a first degree of a mechanical property, and the second embroidered area may have a second degree of the mechanical property. The first degree of the mechanical property may be different than the second degree of the mechanical property.

Abstract: A sole structure for an article of footwear comprises a base component and a wedge component. The base component has a forefoot region, a midfoot region, and a heel region, and includes a forward base portion and a rearward base portion. The forward base portion of the base component includes a forward lateral flange and a forward medial flange. The wedge component extends from the midfoot region to the heel region and includes a forward portion having a rearward medial flange and a rearward lateral flange. The forward lateral flange of the base component abuts the rearward lateral flange of the wedge component. The forward medial flange of the base component abuts the rearward medial flange of the wedge component.
