Article of footwear with dynamic banking sole structure

A sole structure, comprising:

• a midsole having a lateral side defining a lateral edge and a medial side defining a medial edge, the midsole including:
• a first zone extending from the lateral edge toward the medial side and having a substantially uniform thickness, and
• a second zone extending from the medial edge toward the first zone and having a tapered thickness that decreases toward the medial edge;
• and
• a resilient cushioning member extending across a portion of both the first zone and the second zone of the midsole in at least a forefoot region of the sole structure, wherein:
• the resilient cushioning member is substantially inset within the midsole in the first zone,
• the resilient cushioning member protrudes increasingly from the midsole in the second zone as the tapered thickness decreases toward the medial side, and
• the resilient cushioning member maintains a substantially planar configuration when unloaded and permits controlled medial deformation of between 5 and 9 degrees when laterally loaded.
