An upper for an article of footwear is configured to be connected to a sole structure and is configured to receive a foot. The upper includes a knitted component having a strobel portion that is configured to be disposed underneath the foot. The strobel portion defines an interior surface and an exterior surface of the knitted component. The strobel portion defines a strobel passage between the interior surface and the exterior surface. Also, the upper includes a tensile strand that extends through the strobel passage.

An article of footwear including an upper incorporating a knitted component having color-shifting properties is provided. Color-shift properties can be generated by one or more lenticular knit structures disposed across the upper of the article of footwear. The lenticular knit structures are formed of unitary knit construction with the remaining portions of the knitted component. The lenticular knit structures have portions formed with different yarns. The different yarns on the portions of the lenticular knit structures generate a visual effect that changes the color of the article of footwear depending on the viewing angle.

Provided is a molded panel having at least one surface resembling a knit-like pattern, said panel comprising a plurality of stitches at least partially interconnected through connecting members wherein at locations where the stitch strand and the connecting member intersect they form together an integrated, solid molded material location and wherein the panel comprises through going apertures extending therethrough.

The present disclosure relates to a stitching yarn and non-crimp fabrics containing such yarn. The stitching yarn described herein is a multifilament stitching yarn characterized by two or more of the following properties: (a) comprises a plurality of polymeric fibers, (b) has a linear density of less than or equal to 80 dtex, (c) has a filament count of less than or equal to 0.8 times the dtex value of the stitching yarn, or (d) has a twist of less than 200 revolutions per meter (r/m). The present disclosure also relates to a fiber preform, composite material, and composite article containing the non-crimp fabric.

The invention relates to a net (200) having a plurality of warps (110) extending in the longitudinal direction (MD) and parallel to each other and several welt threads (120), of which one weft thread extends in each case to and fro between two adjacent warps (110) and connects the adjacent warps (110) to one another. Moreover, the net comprises a first support thread (130, 131) which extends along a warp (110) and penetrates the same at several points (181).

Ein Netz (200) weist mehrere sich in Lngsrichtung (MD) parallel zueinander erstreckende Kelton (110) und mehrere Schussfden (120) auf, von denen jeweils einer zwischen zwei benachbarten Kellen (110) hin-und herluft und die benachbarten Ketten (110) miteinander verbindet. Darber hinaus weist das Netz einen ersten Untersttzungfaden ((130, 131) auf, der entlang einer Kette verluft (110) und diese an mehrerern Stellen (181) durchstt.

A knitted fabric (10) including a plurality of parallel chains of knitted loops (12), with each chain of knitted loops (12) formed from a respective yarn, and with the parallel chains of knitted loops (12) extending in the warp or vertical direction. The fabric (10) also includes a plurality of weft yarns (14), with each weft yarn (14) connected to and extending across at least two adjacent chains of knitted loops (12). Each chain of knitted loops (12) is also associated with at least one respective yarn 16, (18) that is connected to, and intertwines along the chain of knitted loops (12).

Described are shoes, particularly a sports shoe, having an upper, and at least one of an outer sole and a midsole connected to the upper. At least one of the outer sole and the midsole is formed of knitwear. As examples, the upper is also formed of knitwear. In the examples, the knitwear in an area of outer sole and/or the midsole and the knitwear in an area of the upper are formed as one-piece knitwear.

Described are shoes, particularly a sports shoe, having an upper and at least one of an outer sole and a midsole connected to the upper. As examples, the outer sole is knitted in a unitary fashion with the upper. As further examples, an insert is positioned within the one-piece knitwear, wherein the insert comprises a profile that increases traction of the outer sole.

The present embodiments provide a knitted component including a knitted base portion located between a first non-planar structure and a second non-planar structure. The knitted base portion may include a first area located adjacent to the first non-planar structure, and the first area may include at least one course of a first base yarn. The knitted base portion may include a second area located adjacent to the second non-planar structure, and the second area may include at least one course of a second base yarn. The first base yarn may have a first visual property and the second base yarn may have a second visual property different from the first visual property.

This fiber wound body has a plurality of reinforcing fiber yarns wound around a winding axis, each of the reinforcing fiber yarns having a thickness gradient portion in which the fiber content is uniform along the longitudinal direction of the yarn and the thickness gradually changes.
