Embodiment Construction

[0036] Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention are described in more detail with reference to a shoe upper and a shoe. Although specific combinations of features are described below with respect to exemplary embodiments of the present invention, it should be understood that the present disclosure is not limited to these embodiments. In particular, not all features must be present to implement the invention, and an embodiment may be modified by combining certain features of one embodiment with one or more features of another embodiment.

[0037] figure 1 An upper 100 for a shoe is described that includes a first tubular fabric layer 110 and a second tubular fabric layer 120 . The two layers 110, 120 may be joined to each other at the ankle region of the upper to form a one-piece element, or may be manufactured directly as a one-piece element. The first tubular fabric layer 110 may be primarily knitted and include a first region 130 which may be incorporate...

Abstract

The present invention relates to an upper (100, 400) for a shoe (450) comprising a first tubular textile layer (110, 210, 310) and a second tubular textile layer (120, 420). The first tubular textilelayer (110, 210, 310) is at least partially surrounded by the second tubular textile layer (120, 420) thus forming an internal textile layer and an external textile layer. The first tubular textile layer (110, 210, 310) comprises a first zone (130, 230, 330). The first zone (130, 230, 330) comprises a first yarn and the first tubular textile layer (110, 210, 310) comprises a second yarn. The firstyarn is more resilient than the second yarn and the first zone (130, 230, 330) comprises a polygonal shape.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to shoes, shoe uppers and methods of making shoes and shoe uppers. Background technique [0002] Articles of footwear typically include two primary elements, an upper and a sole element. In recent years, the manufacture of uppers comprising a two-layer fabric structure (ie a first inner layer and a second outer layer) has proven to offer many advantages such as comfort, flexibility and cheaper manufacture. However, manufacturing uppers that include dual textile layers typically results in many folds, folds, and creases due to the presence of at least partially disconnected inner and outer layers. To avoid these disadvantages, costly additional manufacturing steps are required, such as fusing low-melting yarns by heat treatment or making additional stabilizing parts to provide an upper with a sufficient amount of form and shape. [0003] For example, prior art document EP 3 338 585 A1 relates to footwear comprising an inn...
