  • FOOTWEAR MIDSOLE WITH ANISOTROPIC MESH AND METHODS OF MAKING THE SAME
    Publication number: 20230189923
    Abstract: Soles for articles of footwear including a mechanically anisotropic three-dimensional mesh. The mechanically anisotropic three-dimensional mesh can include one or more mechanically anisotropic regions with a first lattice shear modulus measured in a first direction and a second lattice shear modulus measured in a second direction opposite to or orthogonal to the first direction. The first and second lattice shear moduli are different to provide the three-dimensional mesh with mechanically anisotropic properties. The mechanically anisotropic three-dimensional mesh can be three-dimensionally printed.

  • FOOTWEAR AND FOOTWEAR COMPONENTS HAVING A MESH COMPONENT
    Publication number: 20220110408
    Abstract: An article of footwear may include a sole and an upper connected to the sole. The sole may include a first solid component and a second solid component. The sole may further include an additively manufactured mesh component that is arranged between the first solid component and the second solid component. The mesh component may be connected to each of the first solid component and the second solid component.

  • FOOTWEAR MIDSOLE WITH 3-D PRINTED MESH HAVING AN ANISOTROPIC STRUCTURE AND METHODS OF MAKING THE SAME
    Publication number: 20220110406
    Abstract: Soles for an article of footwear with a three-dimensional mesh having a plurality of interconnected unit cells composed of one or more soft sub-cells and one or more stiff sub-cells. The arrangement of one or more soft sub-cells and one or more stiff sub-cells for the interconnected unit cells can provide the three-dimensional mesh with anisotropic properties, for example, anisotropic lattice shear moduli. In particular embodiments, the arrangement of soft sub-cells and stiff sub-cells for the unit cells can create a three-dimensional mesh predisposed to deform forwards when a sole including the three-dimensional mesh contacts the ground.
