1. An article of footwear, comprising: a sole;an upper having a vamp portion, wherein the vamp portion and the sole define a gap therebetween extending along at least one of the medial side and the lateral side of the upper; anda plurality of elongate segments extending from the sole to the vamp portion, thereby traversing the gap and defining a plurality of apertures,wherein the elongate segments are coupled to the vamp portion by an attachment feature at least partially disposed over an outer surface of the vamp portion, andwherein the elongate segments extend into and terminate within the sole. 2. The article of footwear of claim 1, wherein the apertures are substantially quadrilateral-shaped, each defining two acute angles and two obtuse angles. 3. The article of footwear of claim 1, wherein each elongate segment is free from direct attachment to other elongate segments along its length. 4. The article of footwear of claim 1, wherein each elongate segment has a circular cross-section. 5. The article of footwear of claim 1, wherein each elongate segment is distinct from, and coupled to, the vamp portion. 6. The article of footwear of claim 1, wherein the gap extends from an interior of the article of footwear to an exterior of the article of footwear. 7. The article of footwear of claim 1, wherein the gap is a discontinuity in the substance of the upper. 8. The article of footwear of claim 1, the elongate segments each have separate ends independently fixed to the sole. 9. The article of footwear of claim 1, wherein the elongate segments are formed of plastic. 10. An article of footwear, comprising: a sole;a cylindrical elongate segment;a vamp portion coupled to the sole via the cylindrical elongate segment,wherein the cylindrical elongate segment traverses a gap between the sole and the vamp portionwherein the cylindrical elongate segment defines a portion of an aperture in the gap, andwherein the aperture is substantially quadrilateral-Shaped, defining two acute angles and two obtuse angles. 11. The article of footwear of claim 10, further comprising a second cylindrical elongate segment, wherein the first cylindrical elongate segment is free from direct attachment to the second cylindrical elongate segment. 12. The article of footwear of claim 10, wherein the cylindrical elongate segment extends above a lower edge of the vamp portion. 13.
