[0001] This utility model relates to the field of shoe upper technology, and in particular to a shoe upper with a similar twisted pattern. Background Technology

[0002] As consumers' demands for the appearance and functionality of footwear products continue to rise, shoe upper designs are increasingly emphasizing personalization and uniqueness. Traditional shoe upper designs, mostly featuring simple geometric patterns or solid colors, struggle to meet modern consumers' pursuit of fashion and individuality.

[0003] The twisted knit pattern is popular with consumers due to its unique texture. However, most twisted knit uppers on the market are currently achieved through printing or coating, resulting in a lack of three-dimensionality and an unrealistic pattern. Utility Model Content

[0004] This invention provides a shoe upper with a braided texture that can create the effect of imitating shoelaces, resulting in a stronger three-dimensional effect and a more realistic texture.

[0005] To solve the above problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] This utility model provides a shoe upper with a similar braided pattern, including an integrally woven toe, two shoe bodies, a tongue, and two heels. The two shoe bodies are located on both sides below the toe, and the tongue is located below the toe and between the two shoe bodies, connected to both shoe bodies. The two heels are located below the two shoe bodies. The surface of the tongue is woven with multiple textured bands, each band having horizontally extending protrusions, all of which are symmetrically distributed relative to the center line of the tongue.

[0007] In some embodiments, adjacent bands intertwine to form the protrusion.

[0008] In some embodiments, the bands include a first band, a second band, a third band, a fourth band, and two fifth bands; the two ends of the first band are respectively connected to the middle of the lower end of the shoe tongue, and the middle of the first band is wrapped around the middle of the second band; the two ends of the second band are respectively connected to the two sides of the lower end of the shoe tongue, and the second band is wrapped around the lower end of the third band near its two ends; the third band is located above the first band, the middle of the third band is self-wound, and the upper end of the third band is wrapped around the lower end of the fourth band; the fourth band is located above the third band, the middle of the fourth band is self-wound, and the upper end of the fourth band is wrapped around the two fifth bands; the two fifth bands are respectively located on both sides of the upper end of the shoe tongue, and the two ends of the two fifth bands are connected to the upper end of the shoe tongue.

[0009] In some embodiments, the portions of the first, second, third, fourth, and two fifth stripes that are not intertwined with each other are all interwoven with the tongue.

[0010] In some embodiments, the toe has a first breathable area, which has a plurality of first breathable holes.

[0011] In some embodiments, both the upper and the heel have a second ventilation zone, the second ventilation zone having a plurality of second ventilation holes.

[0012] In some embodiments, the inner sides of the two heels facing each other and the lower end of the tongue are provided with elastic edging.

[0013] This invention has at least the following beneficial effects: The surface of the shoe tongue of this invention is woven with multiple textured strips, which have horizontally extending protrusions. The protrusions are symmetrically distributed relative to the center line of the shoe tongue, which can create the effect of imitating shoelaces. Since the textured strips are woven and have protruding protrusions, the overall three-dimensional effect is stronger and the texture is more realistic. Attached Figure Description

[0019] This invention provides the following description with reference to the accompanying drawings to aid in a comprehensive understanding of the various embodiments of the invention as defined by the claims and their equivalents. The description includes various specific details to aid understanding, but these details should be considered exemplary only. Therefore, those skilled in the art will recognize that various changes and modifications can be made to the various embodiments described herein without departing from the scope and spirit of the invention.

[0020] In the description of this utility model, the orientation descriptions, such as up, down, front, back, left, right, etc., are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0021] It should be understood that when one element (e.g., the first element) is “connected” to another element (e.g., the second element), the element may be directly connected to the other element, or there may be an intermediary element (e.g., the third element) between the element and the other element.

[0022] An embodiment of this utility model provides a shoe upper with a similar twisted pattern, such as... Figure 1-2 As shown, the shoe includes a one-piece woven toe cap 110, two shoe bodies 120, a tongue 130, and two heels 140. The toe cap 110 is located at the toe of the shoe, the two shoe bodies 120 are mainly located on the sides of the foot, the tongue 130 is usually located on the instep, which protects the foot and improves comfort, and the heels 140 are located at the heel of the shoe and are used to connect the two shoe bodies 120.

[0023] The two shoe uppers 120 are located on either side below the toe cap 110. The tongue 130 is located below the toe cap 110 and between the two shoe uppers 120. The tongue 130 is connected to both shoe uppers 120, meaning that the sides of the tongue 130 are not separated from the shoe uppers 120. The two heels 140 are located below the two shoe uppers 120. The toe cap 110, the two shoe uppers 120, the tongue 130, and the two heels 140 are woven together as a single unit on the same plane, and can be shaped using a horizontal knitting machine.

[0024] The surface of the shoe tongue 130 is woven with multiple textured strips 200. Each strip 200 is a woven yarn structure with laterally extending protrusions 201, all symmetrically distributed relative to the center line of the shoe tongue 130. Because the strips 200 have protrusions 201, and these protrusions are symmetrically distributed, they create a lace-like effect, as if shoelaces were directly threaded onto the surface of the shoe tongue 130. Furthermore, since the strips 200 are woven rather than printed or coated, the raised protrusions 201 enhance the overall three-dimensionality of the texture, making it more realistic.

[0025] In some embodiments, adjacent ridges 200 are intertwined to form a protrusion 201. The intertwining method is easy to implement. After intertwining, the ridges 200 will thicken, and a protrusion 201 will be formed accordingly. Intertwining can make the ridges 200 more tightly connected. The intertwined ridges 200 can maintain their shape and will not easily unravel, thus ensuring the stability of the ridges.

[0026] Furthermore, the patterned band 200 includes a first patterned band 210, a second patterned band 220, a third patterned band 230, a fourth patterned band 240, and two fifth patterned bands 250. The first patterned band 210 is roughly "n"-shaped, with both ends connected to the lower middle of the shoe tongue 130, and its middle section intertwined with the middle of the second patterned band 220. The second patterned band 220 is roughly "M"-shaped, with both ends connected to the lower sides of the shoe tongue 130, and its ends intertwined with the lower ends of the third patterned band 230. The third patterned band 230 is roughly a horizontal "8"-shaped band, located above the first patterned band 210, with its middle section self-entwined, capable of being bent and then intertwined with itself. Its upper ends intertwine with the lower ends of the fourth patterned band 240. The fourth stripe 240 is roughly in the shape of a horizontal figure 8. It is located above the third stripe 230. The middle of the fourth stripe 240 is self-entwined, and it can also be bent and intertwined. The upper ends of the fourth stripe 240 are intertwined with two fifth stripes 250. Both fifth stripes 250 have an "n" shape. They are located on either side of the upper end of the tongue 130, and both ends of each fifth stripe 250 are connected to the upper end of the tongue 130.

[0027] This creates a total of nine protrusions 201, with an overall shape resembling crisscrossed shoelaces, resulting in a better imitation shoelace effect, a stronger three-dimensional feel, and a more realistic texture.

[0028] Furthermore, the un-entangled portions of the first stripe 210, the second stripe 220, the third stripe 230, the fourth stripe 240, and the two fifth stripes 250 are all interwoven with the shoe tongue 130. That is, the un-entangled portions of the first stripe 210, the second stripe 220, the third stripe 230, the fourth stripe 240, and the two fifth stripes 250 are all fixed to the surface of the shoe tongue 130, thereby fixing the ends of the stripes so that the stripes can remain in an intertwined state, keep them in shape, and prevent them from unraveling.

[0029] In some embodiments, the toe 110 has a first ventilation zone 101, which has a plurality of first ventilation holes 102. The first ventilation holes 102 can be densely distributed in the first ventilation zone 101, thereby increasing the breathability of the toe 110 and improving the user's comfort.

[0030] Furthermore, the shoe upper typically consists of two layers: an upper layer and an underlayer. In this embodiment, the upper layer yarn of the first breathable area 101 can be hollowed out to form breathable holes. Thus, the first breathable hole 102 is integrally formed during the weaving process of the shoe upper through the weaving technique, without the need for laser cutting, drilling, or other processes, simplifying the weaving process and improving production efficiency.

[0031] In some embodiments, both the upper 120 and the heel 140 have a second ventilation zone 103, and the second ventilation zone 103 has a plurality of second ventilation holes 104. The second ventilation holes 104 can be densely distributed in the second ventilation zone 103, and the ventilation of the upper 120 and the heel 140 can be increased through the second ventilation holes 104 to improve the user's comfort.

[0032] Furthermore, the shoe upper typically consists of two layers: an upper layer and an underlayer. In this embodiment, the upper layer yarn of the second breathable zone 103 can be hollowed out to form breathable holes. Thus, the second breathable hole 104 is integrally formed during the weaving process of the shoe upper through the weaving technique, without the need for laser cutting, drilling, or other processes, simplifying the weaving process and improving production efficiency.

[0033] The second ventilation zone 103 of the shoe body 120 and the second ventilation zone 103 of the heel 140, located on the same side of the shoe upper, can be connected as a single piece.

[0034] In some embodiments, elastic edging 150 is provided on the inner sides of the two heels 140 facing each other and the lower end of the tongue 130. The inner sides of the two heels 140 facing each other and the lower end of the tongue 130 constitute the shoe opening. The edge of the shoe opening is provided with elastic edging 150, which can elastically stretch and expand during the user's wearing of the shoes, making it easier for the user to put on the shoes. After the user puts on the shoes, the heels 140 can fit snugly against the user's foot to increase comfort.

[0035] The terms and words used in the foregoing description and claims are not limited to their literal meaning, but are merely used by the applicant to enable a clear and consistent understanding of the present invention. Therefore, those skilled in the art should understand that the foregoing description of various embodiments of the present invention is for illustrative purposes only, and not intended to limit the present invention as defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
