Abstract

An article of footwear comprises: a sole structure; a footwear upper having a front upper portion secured to the sole structure and a rear upper portion secured to the sole structure, the front upper portion defining a front of an ankle opening and the rear upper portion defining a rear of the ankle opening; and a device, which comprises a control bar having a center segment secured to the rear upper portion rearward of the ankle opening, a medial side arm extending downwardly and forwardly from the center segment at a medial side of the article of footwear outward of the footwear upper and fixed to the sole structure, and a lateral side arm extending downwardly and forwardly from the center segment at a lateral side of the article of footwear outward of the footwear upper and fixed to the sole structure. The control bar depresses under an applied force to a loaded position as the medial side arm and the lateral side arm resiliently bend, storing potential energy that returns the control bar to an unloaded position upon removal of the applied force, the rear upper portion moving with the control bar. The front upper portion and the rear upper portion overlap at and are at least partially decoupled from one another at the medial side and at the lateral side to enable movement of the rear upper portion with the control bar independently of the front upper portion.
