Textiles and articles, and processes for making the same

An article comprising:

• a textile comprising:
• a first textile zone comprising a first re-flowed material comprising a low processing temperature polymeric composition;
• a second textile zone comprising a yarn comprising a high processing temperature polymeric composition;
• and
• at least two sub-zones each comprising a different concentration of the first re-flowed material;
• wherein a staggered interface extends between the at least two sub-zones;
• and
• wherein a plurality of adjacent courses of the textile each comprise a transition from the yarn to the first re-flowed material and wherein the transition is offset by at least one wale between the plurality of adjacent courses thereby forming the staggered interface.

• a textile comprising:
• a first textile zone comprising a first re-flowed material comprising a low processing temperature polymeric composition;
• a second textile zone comprising a yarn comprising a high processing temperature polymeric composition;
• and
• at least two sub-zones each comprising a different concentration of the first re-flowed material;
• wherein a staggered interface extends between the at least two sub-zones;
