This invention describes a shoe component, such as an upper, that is entirely knitted as a single, seamless piece. It features a toe section from which two side panels extend. These side panels are then joined together to form a continuous heel, and an insole can also be integrated into this seamless structure.
Why it matters: Since 2017, advancements in 3D knitting machine software and automation have made programming complex seamless garment structures more efficient and precise, potentially lowering development costs for such components.
