Abstract: An article of footwear includes an upper and a sole structure attached to the upper. The sole structure includes a frame attached to the upper with frame exterior and interior surfaces defining a frame internal cavity. The sole structure further includes a midsole member disposed within the frame internal cavity and that is formed via a supercritical foaming process. A lattice-work structure of the frame is formed by a plurality of apertures extending through the frame exterior and interior surfaces such that at least some portions of the upper and the midsole member adjacent the frame interior surface are exposed through the plurality of apertures.

Abstract: An article of footwear includes an upper attached to a stabilizer, an outsole, a first pod, and a second pod. The stabilizer has a lower surface and a first securing mechanism. The outsole has a first retention mechanism and an interior surface. The first securing mechanism is retained by the first retention mechanism. A volume between the lower surface and the interior surface forms a midsole cavity. The midsole cavity receives the first pod and the second pod.

Abstract: A sole structure for an article of footwear includes a plurality of sole elements, including a recesses and protrusions, which are arranged on the sole structure to provide a plurality of zones with different properties. The plurality of zones includes a first zone positioned in a heel region and surrounding a first impact region, a second zone positioned between a thinnest portion of the sole structure in a midfoot region and a widest portion of the sole structure in a forefoot region, and a third zone positioned in the forefoot region and surrounding a toe off region. The first zone is configured to provide greater cushioning and relative traction than the second zone, and the second zone is configured to provide greater cushioning than the third zone.

Abstract: An article of footwear includes an upper having a fastening mechanism, a sole, and a frame having an exterior surface and an interior surface. The sole includes a midsole structure and an outsole structure. The interior surface of the frame is adjacent portions of the midsole structure, the outsole structure, and the upper. The frame further has a lattice-work structure formed by a plurality of apertures extending through the interior and exterior surfaces of the frame such that at least some of the portions of the midsole structure, the outsole structure, and the upper adjacent the interior surface of the frame are exposed through the plurality of apertures. The fastening mechanism includes a fastening member extending through at least one aperture of the plurality of apertures of the frame.

Abstract: An article of footwear includes a sole structure coupled with an upper that defines a forefoot region, a midfoot region, and a heel region. The sole structure includes a plurality of pods that each have a pod body formed from a foam material that optionally has a coating disposed on an outer surface of the pod body. The sole structure includes a chassis attached to a bottom surface of each of the plurality of pods. The chassis includes a plurality of ground contacting regions and an elongated fork structure. The elongated fork structure includes a chassis stem, a first chassis leg, and a second chassis leg that each extend from the chassis stem through the heel region, the midfoot region, and the forefoot region of the sole structure. A continuous elongated groove is positioned between and extends along substantially the entire length of the first and second chassis leg.

Abstract: A footwear upper and a sole structure for an article of footwear is provided. The footwear sole can include a forefoot region having a first bottom portion extending between a lateral side and a medial side of the footwear, a heel region having a second bottom portion extending between the lateral side and the medial side of the footwear, and a midfoot region disposed between the heel region and the forefoot region. The second bottom portion can be disposed along an inclined plane defined between the lateral side and the medial side, and the inclined plane rises from the medial side to the lateral side. The first bottom portion is disposed along a reference plane, and the inclined plane is disposed at an angle with respect to the reference plane.

Abstract: An article of footwear includes a front end, a rear end, a sole structure, an upper attached to the sole structure, and a strap system engaged with the upper. The upper defines a forefoot region, a midfoot region, and a heel region of the article of footwear, and the upper and the sole structure together define an interior cavity. The strap system comprises a strap configured to tighten portions of the upper within the heel region in response to the user's toe movement within the interior cavity.
