Particulate foam with other cushioning

An article of footwear comprising:

• an upper;
• a midsole secured to the upper and comprising a footbed and an opposing bottom surface;
• an outsole defining a ground-contacting surface;
• a cavity disposed between the bottom surface of the midsole and the outsole;
• a first plurality of protrusions extending within the cavity and comprising a first base end disposed adjacent to the outsole and a first distal end disposed within the cavity, the first plurality of protrusions (i) extending from a forefoot region proximate to a forward-most edge of the article along a longitudinal axis of the article of footwear within the forefoot region, and (iii) progressively decreasing in height in a direction extending from the midfoot region to the forward-most edge;
• and
• a plurality of foam beads disposed in the cavity, at least a portion of the plurality of foam beads being disposed around the first plurality of protrusions.

An article of footwear comprising:

• an upper;
• a midsole secured to the upper and comprising a footbed and an opposing bottom surface;
• an outsole comprising an outsole top surface and an opposing ground-engaging surface;
• a cavity disposed between the bottom surface of the midsole and the outsole top surface;
• a plurality of protrusions extending within the cavity between the bottom surface of the midsole and the outsole top surface, the plurality of protrusions (i) being offset from each other within the cavity, (ii) being disposed within a forefoot region of the article of footwear, and (iii) including a first protrusion disposed proximate to a midfoot region of the article of footwear and including a height that is greater than a height of the other protrusions of the plurality of protrusions;
• and
• a plurality of foam particulates disposed in the cavity, at least a portion of the plurality of foam particulates being disposed around the plurality of protrusions.
