A sole structure for an article of footwear including an upper, the sole structure comprising:

• a first plate extending from a forefoot region of the sole structure to a heel region of the sole structure, the first plate including a first surface configured to oppose the upper and a second surface opposite the first surface;
• a second plate extending from the forefoot region of the sole structure to the heel region of the sole structure and including a third surface opposing the second surface of the first plate, and a fourth surface opposite than the third surface;
• a heel pad extending between a first terminal end that is disposed in a mid-foot region of the sole structure to a second terminal end that is disposed in the heel region of the sole structure, such that the first terminal end of the heel pad does not extend into the forefoot region, the heel pad connecting the first plate and the second plate in the mid-foot region such that the second plate is supported in the mid-foot region;
• a first cushion, extending in a direction from the forefoot region to the heel region, wherein a widest part of the first cushion has a first width;
• a second cushion extending the direction from the forefoot region to the heel region, wherein a widest part of the second cushion has a second width different than the first width, wherein the first cushion and the second cushion include corresponding concave and convex sides facing one another;
• a first gap between the first cushion and the heel pad;
• a second gap between the second cushion and the heel pad, wherein the first cushion and the second cushion are located in the forefoot region of the sole structure;
