Definitions

• the upper of many shoes may comprise a wide variety of materials, which may be utilized to form the upper and chosen for use based on one or more intended uses of the shoe.
• the upper may also include portions comprising varying materials specific to a particular area of the upper. For example, added stability may be desirable at a front of the upper or adjacent a heel region so as to provide a higher degree of resistance or rigidity.
• other portions of a shoe may include a soft woven textile to provide an area with stretch-resistance, flexibility, airpermeability, or moisture-wicking properties.
• articles of footwear having uppers with an increased comfort and better fit are desired, along with soles having improved structural characteristics such as a cleat assembly secured to the sole structure to improve ground traction.
• an article of footwear can include a first acute angle and a second acute angle that are both between 35 and 85 degrees, inclusive.
• an article of footwear can include one or more protruding members that are injection molded from a scratch-resistant polymer, such as, for example, polybenzimidazole, polyparaphenylene, polyetheretherketone, polyimide, acrylonitrile butadiene styrene, coated polypropylene, or other additives added to a polymer, such as polypropylene.
• a scratch-resistant polymer such as, for example, polybenzimidazole, polyparaphenylene, polyetheretherketone, polyimide, acrylonitrile butadiene styrene, coated polypropylene, or other additives added to a polymer, such as polypropylene.
• an article of footwear can include a plurality of protruding members.
• Each protruding member of the plurality of protruding members can include a ground engaging surface.
• Each ground engaging surface can define a surface area that may vary between protruding members. The surface are of the protruding members closest to a midfoot region of the article of footwear may be greater than the surface area of the protruding members closest to a forefoot or a heel region of the article of footwear.
• an article of footwear can include a protruding member in a forefoot region that can define a midfoot-facing side wall and a forefoot-facing side wall (e.g., when viewed from a side view of the article of footwear).
• the midfoot-facing side wall can form an acute angle with a base and the forefoot-facing side wall can form an obtuse angle with the base.
• the protruding member can extend downward from the base.
• Some embodiments of the present disclosure provide an article of footwear including an upper, a sole structure, and a cleat assembly connected to the sole structure.
• the cleat assembly includes a plurality of protruding members that extend from a base.
• Each protruding member includes a side wall that defines a first exterior angle and a second exterior angle relative to the base when viewed from one of a medial side or a lateral side of the article of footwear.
• the first exterior angle is greater than the second exterior angle.
• the present disclosure provides an article of footwear including an upper, a sole structure connected to the upper, and a cleat assembly connected to the sole structure.
• the cleat assembly can include a first protruding member that extends from a first base.
• the first protruding member can define a first midfoot-facing portion and a forefoot facing portion.
• a second protruding member can extend from a second base and define a second midfoot-facing portion and a heel-facing portion.
• a first acute angle can be defined by the first base and the first midfoot-facing portion.
• a first obtuse angle can be defined by the first base and the forefoot facing portion.
• a second acute angle can be defined by the second base and the second midfoot-facing portion.
• a second obtuse angle can be defined by the second base and the heel-facing portion.
• FIG. 2 is a lateral side view of the article of footwear of FIG. 1 ;
• FIG. 7 is a schematic illustration of a mold opening of the mold of FIG. 6;
• FIG. 8 is a side view of a protruding member of the cleat assembly of FIG. 1 ;
• FIG. 12 is a botom view of the sole structure of FIG. 11;
• FIG. 13 is a lateral side view of the sole structure of FIG. 11;
• FIG. 21 is a cross-sectional view of the sole structure of FIG. 12 taken along the line
