摘要:
An article of athletic footwear having an air-filled bladder disposed in a sole structure is disclosed. The air-filled bladder is in fluid communication with ambient air through a filter that permits ambient air to enter the bladder but restricts liquids and particulates from entering the bladder. In operation, the filter and bladder may be portions of a bladder system that absorb shock when the footwear contacts a playing surface. Alternatively, the filter and bladder may be portions of a bladder system that ventilates the interior of the footwear. The filter may be formed of a material such as expanded polytetrafluoroethylene that is attached to a carrier.
摘要:
A sole component and a method of manufacturing the sole component are disclosed. In general, the sole component includes a fluid-filled bladder and a reinforcing structure extending around the bladder. The reinforcing structure is bonded to the exterior of the bladder, and may be recessed into the bladder. In some embodiments, the reinforcing structure extends along the side surfaces of the bladder and between upper and lower surfaces of bladder. In manufacturing the sole component, the reinforcing structure may be located within a mold, and the polymer material forming the bladder may be bonded to the reinforcing structure during the molding process.

摘要:
An article of footwear is disclosed that includes a fluid system having a pump chamber and an inflatable pressure chamber. The pressure chamber is configured to extend at least partially around the pump chamber to limit the pressure of a fluid within the pressure chamber. The relative elevation of the pump chamber and pressure chamber may be selected, for example, such that the pump chamber is within an elevation defined by the upper and lower surfaces of the pressure chamber. The fluid system may be substantially formed from a pair of polymer layers that are bonded together to form the pump chamber and the pressure chamber, and the fluid system includes valves located between the layers.
