Multi-Layer Extruded Uppers For Articles Of Footwear And Other Foot-Receiving Devices

An upper for an article of footwear, comprising:

• a first upper component that includes a first filament layer and a second filament layer, wherein:
• the first filament layer is formed from a first material as a first continuous path of a first extruded filament including first plural, non-intersecting, spaced apart path segments extending in a substantially medio-lateral direction of the upper, and wherein the first continuous path of the first extruded filament forming the first filament layer extends continuously from a rear heal portion to a forefoot portion, and
• the second filament layer is formed from a second material as a second continuous path of a second extruded filament including second plural, non-intersecting, spaced apart path segments extending in a substantially anterior-posterior direction of the upper, wherein the second continuous path of the second extruded filament forming the second filament layer extends continuously from the rear heel portion to the forefoot portion wherein the second extruded filament partially overlays the first extruded filament, and wherein the second filament layer is fused to the first filament layer at locations where the second filament layer contacts the first filament layer;
• and
• a second upper component including a fabric element formed at least in part of a fusible material, wherein the fusible material of the second upper component is fused to the first material of the first upper component.
