An article of footwear comprising: - an upper ; - a plate comprising a first polyolefin resin, the plate having a first side and a second side and a perimeter, wherein the first side is configured to be ground-facing when the plate is a component of the article of footwear; and - a rand comprising a rand polymeric material that is different from the first polyolefin resin; wherein: - the rand is operably coupled to at least a portion of the perimeter of the plate and at least a portion of the upper; - the rand has a flexural modulus that is at least 10 percent lower than a flexural modulus of the plate; - the first resin comprises a resin composition comprising: - a polypropylene copolymer which is a random copolymer of ethylene and propylene having an ethylene repeat unit content of 1 percent to 5 percent based on the total weight of the polypropylene copolymer; and - an effective amount of a polymeric resin modifier is a copolymer comprising isotactic propylene repeat units and ethylene repeat units having an ethylene repeat unit content of 10 percent to 15 percent by weight based upon a total weight of the polymeric resin modifier, wherein the effective amount is 5 percent to 30 percent by weight based upon the total weight of the resin composition; and - the rand polymeric material comprises a polystyrene, a polyethylene, an ethylene-α-olefin copolymer, an ethylene-propylene rubber (EPDM), a polybutene, a polyisobutylene, a poly-4-methylpent-1-ene, a polyisoprene, a polybutadiene, an ethylene-methacrylic acid copolymer, a copolymer thereof, or a blend or mixture thereof. - an upper ; - a plate comprising a first polyolefin resin, the plate having a first side and a second side and a perimeter, wherein the first side is configured to be ground-facing when the plate is a component of the article of footwear; and - a rand comprising a rand polymeric material that is different from the first polyolefin resin; - the rand is operably coupled to at least a portion of the perimeter of the plate and at least a portion of the upper; - the rand has a flexural modulus that is at least 10 percent lower than a flexural modulus of the plate; - the first resin comprises a resin composition comprising: - a polypropylene copolymer which is a random copolymer of ethylene and propylene having an ethylene repeat unit content of 1 percent to 5 percent based on the total weight of the polypropylene copolymer; and - an effective amount of a polymeric resin modifier is a copolymer comprising isotactic propylene repeat units and ethylene repeat units having an ethylene repeat unit content of 10 percent to 15 percent by weight based upon a total weight of the polymeric resin modifier, wherein the effective amount is 5 percent to 30 percent by weight based upon the total weight of the resin composition; and - a polypropylene copolymer which is a random copolymer of ethylene and propylene having an ethylene repeat unit content of 1 percent to 5 percent based on the total weight of the polypropylene copolymer; and - an effective amount of a polymeric resin modifier is a copolymer comprising isotactic propylene repeat units and ethylene repeat units having an ethylene repeat unit content of 10 percent to 15 percent by weight based upon a total weight of the polymeric resin modifier, wherein the effective amount is 5 percent to 30 percent by weight based upon the total weight of the resin composition; and - the rand polymeric material comprises a polystyrene, a polyethylene, an ethylene-α-olefin copolymer, an ethylene-propylene rubber (EPDM), a polybutene, a polyisobutylene, a poly-4-methylpent-1-ene, a polyisoprene, a polybutadiene, an ethylene-methacrylic acid copolymer, a copolymer thereof, or a blend or mixture thereof. <EOS>
