A sole structure for an article of footwear includes a midsole having a top surface and a bottom surface opposite the top surface, the bottom surface including a first recess. A first bladder is disposed within the first recess and a first outsole member is coupled to the midsole and includes a ground-engaging surface having a first traction element and a second traction element. The first traction element is aligned with the first bladder and defines a first height relative to the ground-engaging surface, the second traction element is aligned with the first bladder and defines a second height relative to the ground-engaging surface, the second height being greater than the first height.
