Abstract: A variety of plates for footwear are provided including a polyolefin resin. Sole structures and articles of footwear formed therefrom are also provided. Methods of making the polyolefin resin compositions, plates, sole structures, and articles of footwear are also provided. In some aspects, the polyolefin resin composition includes an effective amount of a polymeric resin modifier. The effective amount can be an amount effective to allow the resin composition to pass a flex test, and in particular to pass a flex test without significant change in abrasion loss. In some aspects, the resin composition also includes a clarifying agent to improve optical clarity of the plate. In some aspects, the plates include a textile disposed on one or both of a first side and the second side of the plate. The textile can provide for improved bonding of the plate to other components such as a chassis or an upper.

Abstract: Sole structures including a plate including a first polyolefin resin, and an edge portion comprising a second resin are disclosed herein. The edge portion is more flexible or less rigid than the plate. Articles of footwear formed from the sole structures are also provided. Methods of making the polyolefin resin compositions, plates, edge portions, sole structures, and articles of footwear are also provided. In some aspects, the first polyolefin resin composition includes an effective amount of a polymeric resin modifier.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for an adaptive article of clothing. In one example, the adaptive article of clothing may have a first front tail panel and a second front tail panel configured to overlap while wrapping at least partially around a front of a wearer in opposite directions in a first worn configuration and hang open in a second worn configuration. A top portion of at least one of the first front tail panel and the second front tail panel may be detachably coupled in a shoulder region of the adaptive article of clothing to enable access to the wearer while the adaptive article of clothing is worn in each of the first worn configuration and the second worn configuration.
