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 16):
An article of footwear that defines a forefoot region, a hindfoot region, and a midfoot region disposed between the forefoot region and the hindfoot region, the article of footwear including a sole assembly comprising:\n a lattice structure that is formed from a plurality of cells, wherein the lattice structure extends laterally across the sole assembly, from a medial side of the of the hindfoot region to a lateral side of the hindfoot region and from a medial side of the midfoot region to a lateral side of the midfoot region, and wherein the lattice structure includes a flange that extends inwards, from an edge of the lattice structure, over a portion of a top surface of the lattice structure; a heel support that mates with the flange and includes a frame configured to receive a heel of a wearer.
