Abstract

An article of footwear includes an upper and a sole coupled to the upper. The sole includes a platform and a lattice. The platform includes an upper surface and a lower surface opposite the upper surface. The lattice extends from the second surface of the platform. The lattice includes a plurality of laths forming a plurality of complete cell units and a plurality of incomplete cell units. Each lath has a longitudinal structure with a longitudinal axis and two ends. Each complete cell unit is defined by a plurality of complete laths and no incomplete laths. Each of the complete laths extends between two vertices of the complete cell unit. Each incomplete cell unit is defined by at least one incomplete lath. Each incomplete lath extends from one vertices and terminates without extending to another vertices.
