Abstract

An article of footwear includes a sole and a foldable upper attached to the sole. The foldable upper includes a first portion (101a) and a second portion (101b), the second portion being located below the first portion and extending from the sole to the first portion. In addition, the foldable upper also includes a seam (105) located above the sole and not in contact with the sole. The seam joins substantially the entire perimeter of the first portion with substantially the entire perimeter of the second portion. Additionally, when the upper is in the folded position, the seam becomes the widest point of the article of footwear and defines the perimeter of the article of footwear.

Description

technical field [0001] Aspects of the present disclosure relate generally to footwear, and more particularly to footwear including a foldable structure. Background technique [0002] Traditional shoes generally have two main parts, an upper and a sole. The upper provides a covering for the foot that houses and positions the foot relative to the sole. The sole structure is generally secured to a lower portion of the upper member and is generally disposed between the foot and the ground. The sole provides traction and cushioning. Accordingly, the upper and sole function cooperatively to provide a structure suitable for a variety of ambulatory activities, such as walking. The manufacture of said traditional footwear (from manufacture to transport to the end user) requires consumption of material, energy, financial resources and also has an impact on the environment. [0003] For example, the traditional transportation of shoes (eg, from the place of manufacture to the selle...
