Abstract:
Systems and apparatus related to footwear including a modular lacing engine are discussed. In an example, a modular footwear apparatus including an upper portion, a lower portion, and a lacing engine is described. The upper portion can include a lace to adjust fit of the upper portion against a foot, the lace adjustable between a first position and a second position based at least in part on manipulation of an effective length of the lace. The lower portion can include a mid-sole and an out-sole, and the lower portion can be coupled to the upper portion at the mid-sole. The lacing engine can include a top-loading lace spool to engage a loop of the lace to enable manipulation of the effective length of the lace through rotation of the lace spool, the lacing engine received within a cavity in the lower portion.

Claim (Index 12):
A modular footwear apparatus comprising:\n an upper portion including a lace to adjust fit of the upper portion against a foot; a lower portion lower portion coupled to the upper portion; and a top-loading lacing engine receivable within a cavity in the lower portion, the top-loading lacing engine including a superior surface adapted to guide a continuous loop of the lace into the lacing engine to enable manipulation of an effective length of the lace upon activation of the lacing engine, wherein the continuous loop of the lace runs in a medial-lateral direction across the width of the cavity.
