Abstract:
An article of footwear includes an upper with a knitted component formed of unitary knit construction. The knitted component has a first edge and a second edge. The knitted component also includes a base portion configured to be disposed adjacent the sole structure and to be disposed under a foot. The knitted component further includes a heel portion, a forefoot portion, a medial portion, and a lateral portion. The knitted component additionally includes a collar with a rim. The second edge is joined to the first edge at a seam. The seam has a first end and a second end, wherein the first end is located generally at the rim of the collar on one of the medial side and the lateral side of the upper. The second end is spaced from the first end.

Claim (Index 1):
A method of manufacturing an article of footwear comprising:\n knitting a knitted component formed of unitary knit construction to have:\n a base portion with a first side that is at least partially defined by a first edge of the knitted component, \n a heel portion and a forefoot portion that are formed of unitary knit construction with the base portion, \n a medial portion and a lateral portion that extend from a second side of the base portion, the second side being opposite from the first side, one of the medial portion and the lateral portion being at least partially defined by a second edge of the knitted component; \n moving the second edge toward the first edge to locate the one of the medial portion and the lateral portion adjacent the first side of the base portion and the other of the medial portion and the lateral portion adjacent the second side of the base portion; joining the second edge to the first edge at a seam of the knitted component causing the base portion, the heel portion, the forefoot portion, the medial portion, and the lateral portion to cooperatively define a void that is configured to receive a foot; and forming an upper of the article of footwear from the knitted component, the upper including a medial side at least partially defined by the medial portion of the knitted component, the upper also including a lateral side at least partially defined by the lateral portion of the knitted component.
