Abstract: Ground-engaging components for articles of footwear include an upper-facing surface and a ground-facing surface opposite the upper-facing surface. At least the ground-facing surface may be formed to include a matrix structure, and this matrix structure may include a plurality of open cells (e.g., in a heel region and/or an arch region) and a forefoot region including a plurality of closed forefoot support cells. The ground-engaging component may be engaged with a midsole member (e.g., including a foam midsole element and/or one or more fluid-filled bladders), and this combination may form a sole structure that is engaged with an upper to form an article of footwear.

Abstract: A sole structure includes a main body formed of a first material and at least one insert formed of a second material. The main body defines first portion of a ground-engaging surface including a first channel defined by a first segment extending along a first axis and a second segment extending along a second axis transverse to the first axis. The one or more inserts are received in sockets formed in the main body. The at least one insert defines a second portion of the ground-engaging surface and has a second channel including a third segment extending along a third axis parallel to the first axis and a fourth segment extending along a fourth axis transverse to the third axis and substantially parallel to the second axis. One of the first channel and the second channel defines an interface between the main body and the insert.

Abstract: Ground-engaging components (240) for articles of footwear (200) include an upper (202)-facing surface (222S) and a ground-facing surface (248G) opposite the upper (202) facing surface (222S). At least the ground-facing surface (248G) may be formed to include a matrix structure (250), and this matrix structure (250) may include a plurality of open cells (252) (e.g., in a heel region (252H) and/or a midfoot region (252M)) and a forefoot region (252F) including a plurality of closed forefoot support cells (252). The ground-engaging component (240) may be engaged with a midsole member (220) (e.g., including a foam midsole element (222F) and/or one or more fluid-filled bladders (222A, 222F), and this combination may form a sole structure (204) that is engaged with an upper (202) to form an article of footwear (200).
