    摘要: A method of manufacturing an article of footwear includes providing a textile and applying heat and/or pressure to the textile using a texturing device to form a textured area of the textile. The textured area is spaced apart from a substantially smooth area of the textile. The method further includes forming at least part of an upper from the textile after applying the heat and/or pressure to the textile. The upper includes a cavity configured to receive a foot. The substantially smooth area is configured to define a reference boundary of the upper. The substantially smooth area and the textured area are each configured to be disposed at predetermined regions of the upper. Furthermore, forming the textured area includes forming a plurality of projection structures that project outward from the reference boundary at varying distances.

    摘要: An article of footwear may include a first ground engaging member extending substantially downward from a baseplate, the first ground engaging member may have a substantially triangular cross-sectional shape in a substantially horizontal plane, the first ground engaging member having a first sidewall edge, a second sidewall edge, and a third sidewall edge forming vertices of the substantially triangular cross-sectional shape. In addition, a first sidewall may have a concave portion that is concave in the substantially horizontal plane. Further, the first ground engaging member may be disposed proximate a peripheral edge of the outer member with the first sidewall edge disposed opposite the concave portion of the sidewall, and the first sidewall edge oriented facing toward the peripheral edge. Also, the concave portion of the first sidewall may be oriented in a substantially lateral direction, facing away from the peripheral edge of the outer member.

    摘要: A system for thermoforming an article, the system comprising: a heating station (2210); a cooling station (2212); a carriage (2216); and a negative pressure generation system (2214), wherein the negative pressure generation system (2214) is adapted to at least partly seal the article inside a forming material (2220) by exposing the article to a pressure less than atmospheric pressure, wherein the negative pressure generation system and the heating station (2214) are cooperatively adapted to expose the article thermal energy, and the pressure less than atmospheric pressure while the article is at least partly sealed inside the forming material(2220); and wherein the negative pressure generation system (2214) and the cooling station (2212) are cooperatively adapted to expose the article to a temperature less than that experienced in the heating station (2210) while the article is at least partly sealed inside the forming material (2220) and exposed to the pressure less than atmospheric pressure.
