Abstract
A sole structure for a footwear article includes a system of support structures that are arranged in a subunit. In some examples, the subunit can be at least partially enclosed by an exoskeleton. In some instances, the system of support structures can comprise at least a portion of a cartridge that can connect to another component in the sole structure. The cartridge can, in some examples, operate to attenuate a force.
