An upper (104) for an article of footwear (100) is provided. The upper (104) can include a multi-layered outer portion (200, 500) having a first region (202, 204, 216, 218, 502, 504, 516, 518) that includes a first, second, and third layer (206, 506, 510), and a second region (202, 204, 216, 218, 502, 504, 516, 518) that includes the first and third layers (206, 506). The multi-layered outer portion (200, 500) can include at least one contiguous embroidery stitching (302, 304, 402, 404, 562, 602, 604) that can couple the first, second, and third layers (206, 506) together in the first region (202, 204, 216, 218, 502, 504, 516, 518), and the first and third layers (206, 506) together in the second region (202, 204, 216, 218, 502, 504, 516, 518). The contiguous embroidery stitching (302, 304, 402, 404, 562, 602, 604) can provide structural support and/or wear resistance to the upper (104). |
