Fiber-bound engineered materials formed using zonal scrims

A footwear article comprising:

• an upper comprising a composite textile, wherein the composite textile comprises:
• a first layer comprising a nonwoven fiber web, which includes first fibers;
• a second layer comprising a scrim, which includes a mesh structure with positive structures that circumscribe negative openings, wherein at least a first portion of the scrim is entangled with the first fibers based on a portion of any fiber of the first fibers extending through the positive structures, and wherein the at least the first portion of the scrim comprises a first color;
• and
• a third layer comprising a transparent film overlaying the at least the first portion of the scrim with the first color.

A footwear article comprising:

• an upper comprising a composite textile, wherein the composite textile comprises:
• a first layer comprising a nonwoven fiber web, which includes first fibers split to a first degree and second fibers split to a second degree, which is less than the first degree;
• a second layer comprising a scrim, which includes a mesh structure with positive structures that circumscribe negative openings, wherein the scrim is entangled with at least the first fibers based on a portion of any of the first fibers extending through the positive structure;
• and
• a third layer comprising a polymeric film coupled to the portion of any of the first fibers extending through the positive structures, wherein the second layer is positioned between the third layer and the first layer.
