Shoe with transparent panels

A method for manufacturing a shoe that can be worn with an innerliner that is constructed to be directly worn on and around a foot inside the shoe, the innerliner being separate from the shoe and freely removable therefrom and is constructed so that it can be worn around and held on the foot without the shoe, the innerliner further having first content in a first area thereof, comprising the steps of:

• providing a shoe that includes an upper and a ground contacting sole that is an integral part of the shoe and is a separate, different member relative to the innerliner, the innerliner for placement inside the upper above the sole of the shoe wherein the innersole does not make contact with the ground when placed inside the upper;
• identifying a first region on the shoe to display content;
• and
• forming a first display area in the first region that permits an interior of the shoe to be visible therethrough, the first display area being formed in a specific location and in view of a location of the first content such that when the innerliner is worn with the shoe, the first area is in registration with the first display area and the first content is displayed through the first display area, thereby allowing the shoe to have different, customizable appearances depending upon the content.

A method for displaying content in a shoe system that includes a shoe having a first region to display content, the first region including a first display area that permits an interior of the shoe to be visible therethrough, wherein the shoe includes an upper and a sole, comprising the steps of:

• identifying a first area on an innerliner that is constructed to be directly worn on a foot inside an upper of the shoe;
• the innerliner extending completely around the foot and being separate from the shoe and freely removable therefrom to permit different innerliners to be paired with the shoe and worn on the foot separately from the shoe due to the innerliner being constructed and made of a material that allows the innerliner to be retained on the foot without the aid of the shoe;
• the first area being an area that is specifically selected in view of the location of the first display area such that when the innerliner is worn with the shoe, the first area is in registration with the first display area;
• and
• placing first content on the innerliner in the first area such that the first content is displayed when the innerliner is worn with the shoe, thereby allowing the shoe to have different, customizable appearances depending upon the content of the innerliner that is paired and worn with the shoe, wherein the first content has an appearance that is different from at least one other area of the innerliner.

A method for displaying content in a shoe system comprising the steps of:

• providing first and second shoes, each shoe having an upper;
• selecting a first region on the upper of the first shoe to display content and forming a first display area within the first region of the upper that permits an interior of the first shoe to be visible therethrough;
• selecting a first region on the upper of the second shoe to display content and forming a first display area within the first region of the upper that permits an interior of the second shoe to be visible therethrough;
• identifying a first area on a first innerliner that is constructed to be worn directly on a foot inside the upper of one of the shoes;
• the innerliner being separate and freely removable from the respective shoe;
• identifying a second area on the first innerliner, the second area being at a different location than the first area, wherein the first and second areas are specifically selected in view of the location of the first display area of each of the first and second shoes such that when the first innerliner is worn with the first shoe, the first area is in registration with the first display area of the first shoe and when the first innerliner is worn with the second shoe, the second area is in registration with the first display area of the second shoe;
• placing first content on the first innerliner in the first area;
• and
• placing second content on first innerliner in the second area;
• wherein one of the first and second content of the first innerliner is displayed through the first display area of one of the first and second shoes depending upon which shoe the innerliner is mated with, thereby allowing the pair of shoes to have different, customizable appearances depending upon the content and how the first innerliner is mated to the shoes.
