Article of footwear with multiple durometer outsole

1. An article of footwear comprising:

an upper defining a cavity;

a sole structure coupled to the upper, the sole structure comprising:

a first portion having a top surface, a bottom surface, and at least one first lug that extends from the bottom surface of the first portion a first distance;

a second portion having a top surface, a bottom surface at least partially coupled to the top surface of the first portion, and at least one second lug that extends through the first portion and beyond the bottom surface of the first portion a second distance, the second distance being less than the first distance;

wherein the first portion has a first durometer value, the second portion has a second durometer value, and the second durometer value is greater than the first durometer value.

2. The article of footwear of claim 1 , wherein the at least one first lug of the first portion is more compressible than the at least one second lug of the second portion.

3. The article of footwear of claim 2 , wherein, when the sole structure impacts a support surface with a force, the at least one first lug compresses such that the at least one first lug extends from the bottom surface of the first portion a third distance that is equal to the second distance.

4. The article of footwear of claim 1 , wherein the at least one first lug has a first end coupled to the bottom surface of the first portion and an opposite second end that is configured to contact a support surface.

5. The article of footwear of claim 4 , wherein the at least one second lug has a first end coupled to the bottom surface of the second portion and an opposite second end that is configured to contact the support surface.

6. The article of footwear of claim 1 , wherein the at least one first lug and the at least one second lug are truncated pyramids.

7. An article of footwear comprising:

an upper defining a cavity;

a sole structure coupled to the upper, the sole structure comprising:

a first portion extending from a lateral edge of the article of footwear to a medial edge of the article of footwear, the first portion having at least one opening and having a first durometer value; and

a second portion having at least one lug that extends through the at least one opening of the first portion, the second portion having a second durometer value that is greater than the first durometer value;

wherein:

the at least one lug comprises an at least one first lug;

the first portion includes a plurality of second lugs; and

the at least one opening comprises a first opening and a second opening, and the first opening and the second opening are disposed in a forefoot region of the sole structure.

8. The article of footwear of claim 7 , wherein the plurality of second lugs are more compressible than the at least one first lug.

9. The article of footwear of claim 7 , wherein the at least one first lug of the second portion includes a second portion first lug and a second portion second lug, and the second portion first lug and the second portion second lug extend through the first opening or the second opening.

10. The article of footwear of claim 2 , wherein the at least one first lug of the second portion includes a second portion first lug, a second portion second lug, a second portion third lug, and a second portion fourth lug, the second portion first lug and the second portion second lug extending through the first opening, and the second portion third lug and the second portion fourth lug extending through the second opening.

11. The article of footwear of claim 10 , wherein the first opening is disposed proximate to the lateral edge, and the second opening is disposed proximate to the medial edge.

12. An article of footwear comprising:

an upper defining a cavity;

a first sole structure having a bottom surface and an opposite top surface, the top surface being directly coupled to the upper, the first sole structure having a first durometer value and comprising a forefoot section and a hindfoot section; and

a second sole structure having a second durometer value that is greater than the first durometer value, the second sole structure comprising:

a midfoot section disposed between the forefoot section and the hindfoot section of the first sole structure,

a forward extension extending from the midfoot section through the forefoot section of the first sole structure between the upper and the bottom surface of the first sole structure such that a bottom surface of the forward extension of the second sole structure is covered by the forefoot section of the first sole structure, wherein the forward extension provides a spring back effect to the forefoot section of the first sole structure when the first sole structure is bent;

wherein the midfoot section extends from an outermost lateral edge of the article of footwear to an outermost medial edge of the article of footwear.

13. The article of footwear of claim 12 , wherein the second sole structure further comprises:

a lug disposed on the forward extension, the lug extending through the bottom surface of the forefoot section of the first sole structure.

14. The article of footwear of claim 12 , wherein the forward extension is a first forward extension, and the second sole structure further comprises:

a second forward extension extending forward from the midfoot section through the forefoot section of the first sole structure between the upper and the bottom surface of the first sole structure such that a bottom surface of the second forward extension of the second sole structure is covered by the forefoot section of the first sole structure.

15. The article of footwear according to claim 14 , wherein the first forward extension extends through the forefoot section of the first sole structure proximate to a medial side of the article of footwear and the second forward extension extends through the forefoot section of the first sole structure proximate to a lateral side of the article of footwear.
