A sole for an article of footwear includes a cored midsole defining a top surface, a bottom surface, and a perimeter surface extending from the top surface to the bottom surface. The cored midsole defines apertures extending diagonally from the top surface of the cored midsole to the bottom surface of the cored midsole.

Cored midsole with diagonal geometry

Articles of footwear comprising an additively manufactured sole. In some embodiments, the article of footwear may comprise a sole, an upper, and a joining element coupling the sole to the upper. In some embodiments, the sole may comprise a three-dimensional mesh with a ground-facing portion and a ledge formed on an upper side of the mesh. The ledge may comprise a continuous side surface that is coupled to the joining element. In some embodiments, the sole may comprise an undulating lower side comprising a plurality of bumps and a plurality of valleys positioned between respective bumps. In some embodiments, the sole may comprise a continuous ground-facing rim formed on a perimeter portion of a lower side of the sole.

Additively manufactured footwear soles

Articles of footwear and methods of making articles of footwear including one or more continuous threads wound around anchor points. In some embodiments, thread lines of continuous thread(s) may extend tangential to an opening on a thread pattern or an upper. In some embodiments, thread lines of continuous thread(s) may define a portion of an upper and extend through a sole for an article of footwear. In some embodiments, thread patterns defined by the continuous thread(s) may be bonded to each other around a sheet to form an upper material for an upper.

Articles of footwear comprising a wound component and methods of making the same

A midsole for an article of footwear including a three-dimensional mesh including interconnected unit cells and methods of making the same. The interconnected unit cells each include a plurality of struts defining a three-dimensional shape. The interconnected unit cells are connected at nodes having a valence number defined by the number of struts connected at that node. The valence number of the nodes may vary to provide customized characteristics to zones or portions of the midsole. The plurality of interconnected unit cells may be organized in a warped cubic lattice structure. The warped cubic lattice structure and the size/shape of interconnected unit cells may vary to provide customized characteristics to zones or portions of the midsole. The three-dimensional mesh may be customized based on a biometric data profile for an individual, or group of individuals. The midsole may be manufactured using an additive manufacturing process.

Footwear midsole with warped lattice structure and method of making the same

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 and footwear components having a mesh component

Shoe

Soles for articles of footwear with a three-dimensional mesh having a bottom surface defined at least partially by a plurality of nodes having a platform with a top platform surface connected to a bottom platform surface with a side surface a plurality of struts for the three-dimensional mesh directly connected to the top platform surface. In some embodiments, the side surface of two directly adjacent nodes defining the bottom surface are not connected to each other at the bottom surface. In some embodiments, the bottom platform surface of two or more adjacent nodes can merge to form a continuous integrally formed surface at the bottom surface of the three-dimensional mesh.

Footwear with 3-D printed midsole

A midsole for an article of footwear including a three dimensional mesh including interconnected unit cells and methods of making the same. The interconnected unit cells each include a plurality of struts defining a three dimensional shape. The interconnected unit cells are connected at nodes having a valence number defined by the number of struts connected at that node. The valence number of the nodes may vary to provide customized characteristics to zones or portions of the midsole. The plurality of interconnected unit cells may be organized in a warped cubic lattice structure. The warped cubic lattice structure and the size/shape of interconnected unit cells may vary to provide customized characteristics to zones or portions of the midsole. The three dimensional mesh may be customized based on a biometric data profile for an individual, or group of individuals. The midsole may be manufactured using an additive manufacturing process.
