1. A sole arrangement for an article of footwear comprising:
the sole arrangement extending from an end of a posterior area of the sole arrangement to an end of an anterior area of the sole arrangement, wherein the posterior area of the sole arrangement being configured to be proximate to a heel of a foot and the anterior area of the sole arrangement being configured to be proximate to a forefoot area of the foot and at least partially proximate to a midfoot area of the foot;
the sole arrangement including an upper facing surface and a ground engaging surface, wherein the upper facing surface being on an opposite side of the sole arrangement than the ground engaging surface;
the sole arrangement including a maximum posterior depth value, wherein the maximum posterior depth value measuring a thickest position including a largest depth value within the posterior area of the sole arrangement, the thickest position being measured at a lowest position of the upper facing surface along a lateral axis and at any position of the upper facing surface or the ground engaging surface along a longitudinal axis within the posterior area of the sole arrangement;
the sole arrangement including a maximum anterior depth value, wherein the maximum anterior depth value measuring a thickest position including a largest depth value within the anterior area of the sole arrangement, the thickest position being measured at a lowest position of the upper facing surface along a lateral axis and at any position of the upper facing surface or the ground engaging surface along a longitudinal axis within the anterior area of the sole arrangement;
the maximum anterior depth value being larger than the maximum posterior depth value by a difference depth value, wherein the difference depth value being a predetermined depth value;
a striking area, wherein the striking area being an area where the posterior area of the sole arrangement transitioning into the anterior area of the sole arrangement and the ground engaging surface of the striking area facing the posterior area of the sole arrangement and facing away from the end of the anterior area of the sole arrangement;
the striking area including an area substantially maintaining a depth value for a predetermined distance or decreasing in depth value from the position of the maximum anterior depth value in a direction toward the end of the anterior area of the sole arrangement;
the posterior area of the sole arrangement extending from the end of the posterior area of the sole arrangement to an intermediate area of the sole arrangement, wherein the intermediate area of the sole arrangement connecting the posterior area of the sole arrangement with the anterior area of the sole arrangement;
the anterior area of the sole arrangement extending from the end of the anterior area of the sole arrangement to the intermediate area of the sole arrangement; and
the upper facing surface being shaped in the intermediate area of the sole arrangement in a substantially concave shaped form from a view of the ground engaging surface; or
the upper facing surface transitioning from the intermediate area of the sole arrangement to the anterior area of the sole arrangement in a substantially convex shaped form from the view of the ground engaging surface.
