Abstract

The claimed invention relates to an upper for an article of footwear comprising a first tubular knit structure; wherein the first tubular knit structure includes a first layer and a second layer, the first layer and the second layer being separable such that a first passage is located between the first layer and the second layer; and a second tubular knit structure, wherein the second tubular knit structure includes a third layer and a fourth layer, the third layer and the fourth layer being separable such that a second passage is located between the third layer and the fourth layer. The first tubular knit structure extends from a biteline of the upper to a throat area of the upper. The second tubular knit structure extends from the biteline of the upper to the throat area of the upper. A knitted base area is located between the first tubular knit structure and the second tubular knit structure at a location adjacent to the biteline. The first tubular knit structure and the second tubular knit structure merge at a merged tubular area located in or adjacent to the throat area of the upper.
