ARTICLE OF FOOTWEAR HAVING A SOLE STRUCTURE WITH A PLATE FOR STABILITY

Abstract: an article of footwear includes a sole structure that has a plate, a first foam layer, and a second foam layer. the first foam layer overlies the plate and has a distal side interfacing with a proximal side of the plate. the second foam layer underlies the plate and has a proximal side interfacing with a distal side of the plate. a compressive stiffness of the first foam layer is greater than a compressive stiffness of the second foam layer. a compressive stiffness of the plate is greater than the compressive stiffness of the first foam layer.
