Abstract:
An article of footwear may have an upper and a sole system secured to the upper. The sole system includes a bladder member with an illumination device. The bladder member is formed from at least a partially transparent or colored outer polymer layer that encloses a fluid. The illumination device is located within the sole system. Light from the illumination device may pass out the sole system by passing through the bladder member, thereby imparting the configuration of an illuminable fluid-filled bladder member.

Claim (Index 31):
A bladder member for an article of footwear, the bladder member comprising:\n an outer surface defining an interior void; and\n an illumination device attached to the outer surface and operable to selectively transmit light into the interior void, the illumination device comprising:\n a first illuminable element extending in a direction toward a medial side of the bladder member and operable to selectively transmit light toward the medial side; \n a second illuminable element extending in a direction toward a lateral side of the bladder member and operable to selectively transmit light toward the lateral side; and \n a third illuminable element disposed between the first illuminable element and the second illuminable element, the third illuminable element (i) extending in a direction along a longitudinal axis of the bladder member, (ii) operable to selectively transmit light in a direction toward one of a forefoot region and a heel region of the bladder member, and (iii) disposed closer to the one of the forefoot region and the heel region than at least one of the first illuminable element and the second illuminable element.
