A sole structure for an article of footwear, the sole structure comprising:
- a first support structure including a first base, a first platform spaced apart from the first base and having a first configuration, and a first plurality of struts extending between the first base and the first platform;
- and
- a second support structure including a second base, a second platform spaced apart from the second base and having a second configuration different from the first configuration, and a second plurality of struts extending between the second base and the second platform.
A sole structure for an article of footwear, the sole structure comprising:
- a first support structure including a first base, a first platform spaced apart from the first base and defining a first planar surface having a first surface area, and a first plurality of struts extending between the first base and the first platform;
- and
- a second support structure including a second base, a second platform spaced apart from the second base and defining a second planar surface having a second surface area that is different from the first surface area, and a second plurality of struts extending between the second base and the second platform.
A sole structure for an article of footwear, the sole structure comprising:
- a first support structure including a first base, a first platform spaced apart from the first base and defining a first outer perimeter having a first shape, and a first plurality of struts extending between the first base and the first platform;
- and
- a second support structure including a second base, a second platform spaced apart from the second base and defining a second outer perimeter having a second shape that is different from the first shape, and a second plurality of struts extending between the second base and the second platform.
