Articulating footwear strobel with bladder and tensile component

A strobel for an article of footwear, the strobel comprising:

• a polymeric bladder defining an interior cavity and configured to retain a fluid in the interior cavity, the polymeric bladder having a peripheral flange extending around at least a portion of a perimeter of the interior cavity;
• a first bond securing opposing inner surfaces of the polymeric bladder to one another and extending transversely inward from a medial side of the peripheral flange only partway transversely across the interior cavity;
• a second bond rearward of the first bond, securing the opposing inner surfaces of the polymeric bladder to one another, and extending transversely inward from a lateral side of the peripheral flange only partway transversely across the interior cavity;
• and
• a tensile component disposed in the interior cavity and secured to the opposing inner surfaces of the polymeric bladder;
• wherein an outer edge of the tensile component extends transversely inward at and borders a perimeter of the first bond and a perimeter of the second bond;
• wherein:
• the peripheral flange has a lateral protrusion protruding transversely inward at the lateral side of the peripheral flange to define a boundary between a toe section of a forefoot region of the strobel and a metatarsal section of the forefoot region of the strobel;
• the outer edge of the tensile component extends transversely inward at and borders the lateral protrusion of the peripheral flange;
• the peripheral flange has a front protrusion protruding rearward from a front of the peripheral flange;
• the outer edge of the tensile component extends rearward at and borders the front protrusion of the peripheral flange;
• the peripheral flange has a medial protrusion protruding transversely inward at the medial side of the peripheral flange between the toe section and the metatarsal section of the forefoot region of the strobel;
• the outer edge of the tensile component extends transversely inward at and borders the medial protrusion of the peripheral flange;
• the polymeric bladder includes a first polymeric sheet and a second polymeric sheet secured to one another at and forming the peripheral flange, the first bond, and the second bond;
• the opposing inner surfaces including a first inner surface of the first polymeric sheet and a second inner surface of the second polymeric sheet;
• the tensile component includes a first tensile layer secured to the first inner surface, a second tensile layer secured to the second inner surface, and a plurality of tethers spanning the interior cavity from the first tensile layer to the second tensile layer and connecting the first tensile layer to the second tensile layer;
• the first polymeric sheet is joined to the first tensile layer at a transverse partial bond that protrudes inward from the first polymeric sheet toward the second polymeric sheet only partially across the plurality of tethers;
• the transverse partial bond extends from the lateral protrusion to the medial protrusion;
• the first polymeric sheet is joined to the first tensile layer at a front partial bond that protrudes inward from the first polymeric sheet toward the second polymeric sheet only partially across the plurality of tethers;
• and
• the front partial bond extends from the front protrusion rearward toward the transverse partial bond.

• and
• a tensile component disposed in the interior cavity and secured to opposing inner surfaces of the polymeric bladder;
• wherein the tensile component has an aperture in a forefoot region of the strobel between a hallux portion and a second toe portion of the forefoot region;
• wherein the aperture is entirely surrounded by the tensile component;
• and
• wherein the opposing inner surfaces are bonded to one another at the aperture.
