Article of footwear incorporating a curved knitted lacing element

Abstract:

A knitted component may include a boundary, a first course extending from the boundary, and a second course extending from the boundary. The first course and the second course may be interlooped at a first location, the first location being adjacent to the boundary. A contour section may be located between the first course and the second course at a second location, and the second location may be spaced from the boundary such that the boundary is curved in a concave manner at the first location.
