An article of footwear with a knit upper and a method of manufacturing the footwear
are disclosed. The upper is formed through a knitting process to include a plurality
of sections formed of different yarns and knits to provide the sections with different
physical properties. In portions of the upper where sections formed of different
yarns are in adjacent wales, a tuck stitch is utilized to join the sections. The
method utilizes a circular knitting machine having multiple feeds that work together
to knit the upper into a unitary, seamless structure. The multiple feeds, each
of which provide multiple types of yarns, produce the sections to have varying
physical properties.
