METHODS OF MANUFACTURING ARTICLES OF FOOTWEAR WITH TENSILE STRAND ELEMENTS

摘要

An upper for an article of footwear may have material layers and a plurality of strand segments. The material layers are located adjacent to each other and in an overlapping configuration, and the material layers are located in a lace region and a lower region of the upper. The strand segments extend from the lace region to the lower region. The strand segments may be secured between the material layers in the lace region and the lower region by providing a plurality of pegs protruding through the material layers.
