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.
