Abstract:
An article of footwear includes an upper and a sole structure. A set of tensioning members extend over the upper and into channels formed in the sole structure. The tensioning members travel through the channels and exit a rear opening of the sole structure where they may be tensioned using a manual or automatic tensioning device.

Claim (Index 1):
An article of footwear, comprising:\n an upper; a sole structure including a distal surface and a proximal surface, wherein the proximal surface is disposed closer to the upper than the distal surface; a central cavity formed in the sole structure and having an anterior-posterior axis; a first branching side channel formed in the proximal surface such that it is located within the sole structure, and extending from the central cavity to a medial side edge of the sole structure; a first tensioning member extending from the central cavity, through the first branching side channel, and along a portion of a medial side of the upper; a second branching side channel formed in the proximal surface such that it is located within the sole structure, and extending from the central cavity to a lateral side edge of the sole structure; a second tensioning member extending from the central cavity, through the second branching side channel, and along a portion of a lateral side of the upper; a rear opening formed in a heel portion of the sole structure and in fluid communication with the central cavity; and a third tensioning member extending from the central recess, through the rear opening, and along a rear side of the upper.
