1. Material for a shoe upper comprising:
- (a) a first foil layer; and
(b) a textile reinforcement layer at least partly laminated with the first foil layer, wherein the first foil layer comprises an inner sublayer and an outer sublayer, wherein the inner sublayer is adjacent to the textile reinforcement layer and comprises polyurethane, and wherein the inner sublayer comprises a lower melting point than the outer sublayer,wherein the textile reinforcement layer comprises a first region comprising a first textile material and a second region comprising a second textile material different from the first textile material, and wherein a surface structure of the material for the shoe upper in the first region is different from a surface structure of the material for the shoe upper in the second region,wherein the first textile material comprises at least three axes,wherein a first axis defines an orientation of a first set of yarns in the first textile material that extend continuously and essentially parallel to the first axis when the first textile material is arranged in a flat configuration,wherein a second axis defines an orientation of a second set of yarns in the first textile material that extend continuously and essentially parallel to the second axis when the first textile material is arranged in the flat configuration,wherein a third axis defines an orientation of a third set of yarns in the first textile material that extend continuously and essentially parallel to the third axis when the first textile material is arranged in the flat configuration, andwherein a tensile strength of the first textile material in a direction parallel to the first axis is different from a tensile strength of the first textile material in a direction parallel to the second axis.

Abstract
Described are materials for a shoe upper, in particular for soccer shoes, with a particularly low weight and improved tensile strength. The material includes a first foil layer and a textile reinforcement layer, which is at least partially laminated with the first foil layer. The textile reinforcement layer includes a first textile material with at least three axes, each axis defining an orientation of a set of essentially parallel yarn-portions in the textile material.

11. Material for a shoe upper comprising:
-
(a) a first foil layer; (b) a textile reinforcement layer at least partly laminated with the first foil layer; and (c) a second foil layer at least partially laminated with the textile reinforcement layer, the second foil layer arranged at a side of the textile reinforcement layer opposite the first foil layer, wherein at least one of the first foil layer or the second foil layer comprise an inner sublayer and an outer sublayer, wherein the inner sublayer comprises polyurethane, and wherein the inner sublayer comprises a lower melting point than the outer sublayer, wherein the textile reinforcement layer comprises a first region and a second region, the first region and the second region each comprising at least three axes, each axis defining an orientation of a set of essentially parallel yarn-portions in the textile reinforcement layer, wherein for each set of yarn-portions, each yarn-portion comprises a yarn extending continuously and essentially parallel to the respective axis, wherein the yarns of the set of yarn-portions in the orientation essentially parallel to a first axis of the at least three axes of the first region comprise a first material and the yarns of the set of yarn-portions in the orientation essentially parallel to a second axis of the at least three axes of the second region comprise a second material different from the first material such that the yarns essentially parallel to the first axis differ in at least one characteristic from the yarns essentially parallel to the second axis, wherein a thickness of the textile reinforcement layer in the first region is different from a thickness of the textile reinforcement layer in the second region, and wherein the textile reinforcement layer comprises apertures and wherein the first foil layer and the second foil layer are bonded to each other through the apertures of the textile reinforcement layer without adhesives. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13)
