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.

A sole structure having an outsole. The outsole having a forefoot region; a mid-foot region; a heel region; an outsole base having an upper surface and a bottom surface; a first stabilization element extending from the outsole base past the upper surface, in a direction from the bottom surface towards the upper surface; and a second stabilization element extending from the outsole base past the upper surface, in the direction from the bottom surface towards the upper surface.

Shoe

An article of footwear includes an outsole and an upper secured to the outsole and defining a foot-receiving cavity over the outsole. The article of footwear further includes a rand secured to an exterior surface of the upper; wherein the rand has a first end at a medial side of a heel region of the upper and a second end at a front of a forefoot region of the upper. The rand wraps around a rear of the upper from the first end to the second end, the rand extending along a lateral side of the upper from the first end to the second end.
