A stretchable woven fabric possessing flexibility, and having high stretchability and a high stretch recovery ratio in a weft direction and a bias direction. The stretchable woven fabric has a multiple weave structure. The multiple weave structure is a weave structure in which a tricot weave structure, which is a double warp weave having a ridge pattern in a warp direction, and a weft-backed structure, are combined with common warp so that wefts of both structures are disposed alternately in a certain arrangement. The number of floats of wefts configuring the weft-backed structure is 3 or more relative to the warp.

A woven textile structure is formed by weaving a first woven layer including first yarns and weaving a second woven layer including first yarns, where the woven layers are arranged in a stacked manner and are separated from each other. During the weaving of the first and second woven layers, second yarns are inserted along an intermediate span in the weft direction of the woven textile structure, where the second yarns are elongated to an elongated length during the insertion in the weft direction. First yarns of the first woven layer are interlaced with first yarns of the second woven layer and a second yarn of the intermediate span at a plurality of interlacing locations along the woven textile structure so as to define stitches at each interlacing location, where each stitch joins the first woven layer with the second woven layer.

A woven warp-knit-like fabric, includes a first warp yarn, a second warp yarn, a third warp yarn, and a weft yarn; the first warp yarn is interwoven with the weft yarn to form a surface layer of a fabric, the second warp yarn is interwoven with the weft yarn to form a middle layer of the fabric, and the third yarn is interwoven with the weft yarn to form an inner layer of the fabric; at least three weft weave points are provided between two adjacent groups of warp weave points on the third warp yarn; the first warp yarn is a non-elastic yarn, the third warp yarn is an elastic yarn or a non-elastic yarn, and elastic properties of the second warp yarn are greater than those of the first warp yarn and the third warp yarn.

An article of footwear includes a sole structure and an upper coupled to the sole structure. The upper includes a dynamic textile structure capable of expansion and contraction, the textile structure including a first textile layer, a second textile layer, and a support framework including a plurality of anchor strands possessing stretch and recovery, where each of the first textile layer and the second textile layer is coupled to an anchor strand of the plurality of anchor strands at an anchor point.
