1. A sole structure for an article of footwear, the sole structure comprising:
a heel region;
a forefoot region including a toe portion;
a mid-foot region disposed between the heel region and the forefoot region; and
a bladder including a first barrier layer cooperating with a second barrier layer to define:
a first chamber including a first medial reservoir including a major axis extending along a medial side of the sole structure, a second medial reservoir, a first lateral reservoir including a major axis extending along a lateral side of the sole structure, a second lateral reservoir, and a central reservoir, the central reservoir (i) disposed between the first medial reservoir, the second medial reservoir, the first lateral reservoir, and the second lateral reservoir, and (ii) having a major axis extending transverse to each of the lateral side of the sole structure and the medial side of the sole structure;
a second chamber extending around a perimeter of the sole structure in the heel region; and
a web area bounded by the second chamber and extending continuously in the heel region and continuously across a central, longitudinal axis of the sole structure.
