Footwear with 3-d printed midsole

A method of making a sole for an article of footwear, the method comprising:

• 3-D printing a three-dimensional mesh for the sole comprising a plurality of interconnected unit cells, each interconnected unit cell comprising a plurality of struts defining a three-dimensional shape and a plurality of nodes at which one or more of the plurality of struts are connected,
• wherein 3-D printing the three-dimensional mesh comprises:
• printing a plurality of the plurality of nodes directly on a build surface of a build plate, each of the plurality of nodes comprising a platform, the platform comprising:
• a bottom platform surface in contact with the build surface, a top platform surface opposite the bottom platform surface, and a side surface connecting the top platform surface and the bottom platform surface;
• and
• printing a plurality of the plurality of struts directly on the top platform surface of each of the platforms,
• wherein the plurality of struts printed on the top platform surface of each of the platforms are directly printed in a central area of the top platform surface spaced apart from a perimeter area of the top platform surface, and
• wherein the plurality of struts printed on the top platform surface of each of the platforms define a portion of the interconnected unit cells.
