Upper and shoe

This invention describes a shoe upper designed to cover the top of a foot. It features a main body made from a single layer of interknitted, interwoven, or braided threads. Continuous with this main body is a two-layered, bag-shaped section, also formed from some of the same threads, which holds a cushioning material like beads or foam. This cushioned section is specifically claimed to protrude outwards, away from the wearer's foot.

Why it matters: Since 2022, advancements in automated 3D knitting and weaving machinery have made the production of complex, integrated textile structures more efficient and precise. This could reduce manufacturing hurdles for such designs.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
