Upper and shoe

Abstract

An upper includes an upper body being a woven fabric, and the upper body includes a first bundle body in which a first linear body and a second linear body are bundled along a first direction, and a second bundle body in which the first linear body is bundled along a second direction orthogonal to the first direction.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . An upper of a shoe, the upper comprising:
 an upper body being a woven fabric, wherein   the upper body includes a first bundle body in which a first linear body and a second linear body are bundled along a first direction, and a second bundle body in which the first linear body is bundled along a second direction orthogonal to the first direction.   
     
     
         2 . The upper according to  claim 1 , wherein
 the upper body includes a first region and a second region, and   the number of the first linear bodies and the second linear bodies of the first bundle body in the second region is greater than the number of the first linear bodies and the second linear bodies of the first bundle body in the first region.   
     
     
         3 . The upper according to  claim 2 , wherein the second region is disposed in an upper midfoot portion covering a midfoot position of a foot of a wearer of the shoe. 
     
     
         4 . The upper according to  claim 1 , wherein the first bundle body and the second bundle body have different thicknesses. 
     
     
         5 . The upper according to  claim 1 , wherein
 the upper body is disposed with a rectangular through hole surrounded by the first bundle body and the second bundle body, and   the through hole has a long side parallel to the first direction.   
     
     
         6 . The upper according to  claim 5 , wherein
 the upper body includes a third region on at least one of a medial foot side and a lateral foot side of an upper midfoot portion covering a midfoot position of a foot of a wearer of the shoe, and   the through hole is disposed in the third region.   
     
     
         7 . The upper according to  claim 1 , wherein
 the upper body is disposed with a rectangular through hole surrounded by the first bundle body and the second bundle body, and   the through hole has a long side parallel to the second direction.   
     
     
         8 . The upper according to  claim 7 , wherein
 the upper body includes a fourth region on at least one of a medial foot side and a lateral foot side of an upper fore foot portion covering a fore foot position of a foot of a wearer of the shoe, and   the through hole is disposed in the fourth region.   
     
     
         9 . The upper according to  claim 7 , wherein
 the upper body includes a fifth region on at least one of a medial foot side and a lateral foot side of an upper rear foot portion covering a rear foot position of a foot of a wearer of the shoe, and   the through hole is disposed in the fifth region.   
     
     
         10 . The upper according to  claim 1 , wherein the first bundle body is formed by paralleling the first linear body and the second linear body. 
     
     
         11 . The upper according to  claim 1 , wherein the first bundle body is a twisted yarn formed by twisting the first linear body and the second linear body. 
     
     
         12 . The upper according to  claim 1 , wherein the first bundle body is a covered yarn formed by using one of the first linear body and the second linear body as a core yarn and wrapping the other of the first linear body and the second linear body around the core yarn. 
     
     
         13 . The upper according to  claim 1 , wherein
 the first linear body has a smaller tensile resistance than a tensile resistance of the second linear body, and   the first linear body has a greater elongation recovery percentage than an elongation recovery percentage of the second linear body.   
     
     
         14 . A shoe comprising:
 the upper according to  claim 1 ; and   a sole disposed below the upper.   
     
     
         15 . An upper of a shoe, the upper comprising:
 an upper body being a knitted fabric using a first bundle body in which a first linear body and a second linear body are bundled, wherein   the upper body partially includes a non-knitted region in which the first bundle body is linearly arranged.   
     
     
         16 . The upper according to  claim 15 , wherein the first bundle body is formed by paralleling the first linear body and the second linear body. 
     
     
         17 . The upper according to  claim 15 , wherein the first bundle body is a twisted yarn formed by twisting the first linear body and the second linear body. 
     
     
         18 . The upper according to  claim 15 , wherein the first bundle body is a covered yarn formed by using one of the first linear body and the second linear body as a core yarn and wrapping the other of the first linear body and the second linear body around the core yarn. 
     
     
         19 . The upper according to  claim 15 , wherein
 the first linear body has a smaller tensile resistance than a tensile resistance of the second linear body, and   the first linear body has a greater elongation recovery percentage than an elongation recovery percentage of the second linear body.   
     
     
         20 . A shoe comprising:
 the upper according to  claim 15 ; and   a sole disposed below the upper.
