Abstract:
An article of footwear includes an upper and a sole assembly. The sole assembly includes a unitary, open-celled structure. Specifically, the sole assembly includes a lattice structure having an interconnected network of struts and nodes that cooperate to define voids. The struts and nodes are configured to generate predetermined support and flexure properties within the network. The lattice may be configured as a conformal lattice, being contoured to receive accessories or complementary support structures. The sole assembly may further include an insert formed of compression material (e.g., foam). In operation, the lattice and foam insert cooperate to provide stability and cushioning to the article of footwear.

Claim (Index 1):
An article of footwear defining a forefoot region, a hindfoot region, and a midfoot region disposed between the forefoot region and the hindfoot region, the article of footwear comprising:\n an upper including a foot cavity; a sole assembly oriented below the upper, the sole assembly comprising:\n a non-stochastic support structure including a plurality of cells arranged in an ordered, repeating manner, wherein the plurality of cells are defined, at least in part, by a plurality of nodes disposed between a top and a bottom of the non-stochastic support structure; and \n a stochastic support structure including cells with random variations in location, shape, and size, wherein the stochastic support structure is manufactured separately from the non-stochastic support structure, and wherein the non-stochastic support structure defines a cavity operable to receive and support the stochastic support structure above the non-stochastic support structure.
