Abstract: An outsole for an article of footwear. The outsole includes an outsole body having a ground contact surface and defining grooves having a sinusoidal path along the ground contact surface. The grooves are arranged to provide an edge density of between about 40 mm/cm2 and about 200 mm/cm2 and a surface contact ratio of between about 40% and about 95%.

Abstract: A footwear upper that includes a first layer and a second layer disposed on the first layer. The second layer includes a lattice defining a rhombille tiling pattern of figures.

Abstract: A footwear upper including a first layer and a second layer disposed on the first layer exteriorly of the first layer. The second layer defines grooves in a rhombille tiling pattern.

Abstract: An article of footwear includes a footwear upper and a sole assembly secured to the footwear upper. The sole assembly has a heelward portion and a toeward portion, and includes a deck assembly disposed substantially in the heelward portion of the sole assembly. The deck assembly includes an upper deck portion, a lower deck portion spaced from the upper deck portion, and right and left supports attached to respective right and left portions of the upper and lower deck portions substantially near respective right and left lateral edges of the upper and lower deck portions. The deck assembly defines a cavity between the upper and lower decks. The deck assembly directs translation of ground contact forces incurred by the heelward portion of the sole assembly at least partially laterally outwardly.
