Abstract
An upper of an article of footwear including a dynamic material configured for topographic transformation to alter at least one of a fit, an insulation, or a ventilation, of the article of footwear.
Claims18
An article of footwear comprising:
- a sole structure, and
- an upper coupled to the sole structure,
- wherein the upper comprises a dynamic material,
- wherein the dynamic material is configured to exhibit a topographic transformation along a first axis in response to a tension or torgue being applied to the dynamic material along a second axis orthogonal to the first axis, and
- wherein the topographic transformation alters at least one of a fit, an insulation, or a ventilation, of the article of footwear.
2 more elements
An article of footwear comprising:
- a sole structure, and
- an upper coupled to the sole structure,
- wherein the upper comprises a dynamic material,
- wherein the dynamic material is configured to exhibit an increase in a thickness in response to an increase in length or width, and
- wherein the increase in the thickness alters at least one of a fit, an insulation, or a ventilation, of the article of footwear.
2 more elements
A dynamic material for use in the upper of an article of footwear,
- wherein the dynamic material is configured to exhibit a topographic transformation in a first plane in response to a tension or torque being applied to the dynamic material in a second plane out of the first plane, and
- wherein the topographic transformation alters at least one of a fit, an insulation, or a ventilation, of the article of footwear.
