1. A footwear upper comprising:
- a first layer; and
a second layer disposed on the first layer, the second layer comprising a lattice defining a tiling pattern of figures, wherein the lattice is in the form of a plurality of stick frames defining apetures through which the first layer is exposed;
wherein the tiling pattern includes progressively larger sizes from a front area of the upper corresponding with a phalanges portion of a user'"'"'s foot toward a rear area of the upper corresponding with a heel portion of the user'"'"'s foot, the phalanges portion, the phalanges portion including relatively smaller sized figures and the heel portion including relatively larger sized figures, wherein the larger sized figures provide correspondingly greater air circulation and. the smaller sized figures provide greater air resistance and surface contact; and
wherein the second layer includes a first portion comprising hexagonal tiling pattern, a second portion comprising a rhombille tiling pattern, and a third portion comprising a triangular tiling pattern;
wherein the first and second portions blend their corresponding patterns therebetween, and the second and third portions blend their corresponding patterns therebetween.

11. A footwear article comprising:
-
a sole assembly; and an upper assembly attached to the sole assembly, the upper assembly comprising; a first layer; and a second layer disposed on the first layer, the second layer comprising a lattice defining a tiling pattern of figures, wherein the lattice is in the form of a plurality of stick frames defining apertures through which the first layer is exposed; and wherein the tiling pattern includes progressively larger sizes from a front area of the upper corresponding with a phalanges portion of a user'"'"'s foot toward a rear area of the upper corresponding with a heel portion of the user'"'"'s foot, the phalanges portion, the phalanges portion including relatively smaller sized figures and the heel portion including relatively larger sized figures, wherein the larger sized figures provide correspondingly greater air circulation and. the smaller sized figures provide greater air resistance and surface contact. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50)
