1. A bladder system for an article of footwear, the bladder system comprising: a bladder having a forward end and a rearward end, the bladder bounding an interior cavity; anda valve member disposed inside the interior cavity, the valve member providing fluid communication between the interior cavity and an exterior of the bladder, the valve member including a valve configured to engage with an external pump, the valve member further includinga first surface that is forwardly oriented toward the forward end of the bladder and that is at a decline toward the forward end of the bladder,a second surface that is rearwardly oriented toward the rearward end of the bladder,a third surface that is on a medial side of the valve member,a fourth surface that is opposite to the third surface and is on a lateral side of the valve member, anda fifth surface that is a flat lower surface. 2. The bladder system of claim 1, wherein the valve member is disposed adjacent to the forward end of the bladder. 3. The bladder system of claim 2, wherein the forward end is part of a forward portion of the bladder,the rearward end is part of a rearward portion of the bladder, andthe first surface contacts an upper layer of the bladder and the fifth surface contacts a lower layer of the bladder, such that the valve member provides structural support to the forward portion of the bladder. 4. The bladder system of claim 3, wherein a width of the valve member is approximately equal to a width of the forward portion of the bladder. 5. The bladder system of claim 3, wherein a width of the valve member is between 80% and 100% of a width of the forward portion of the bladder. 6. The bladder system of claim 1, wherein the forward end is part of a forward portion of the bladder,the rearward end is part of a rearward portion of the bladder,the bladder includes a middle portion in between the forward portion and the rearward portion,the forward portion, the middle portion, and the rearward portion of the bladder are in fluid communication, andthe valve member extends partially across a width of the middle portion of the bladder, leaving a remaining width of the middle portion of the bladder. 7. The bladder system of claim 6, further comprising a tensile member disposed in the interior cavity. 8. The bladder system of claim 7, wherein the tensile member extends through the forward portion of the bladder, the middle portion of the bladder, and the rearward portion of the bladder. 9. The bladder system of claim 1, wherein the valve is exposed on the third surface. 10. The bladder system of claim 1, further comprising a tensile member disposed in the interior cavity. 11. The bladder system of claim 1, further comprising an inner bladder disposed in the interior cavity. 12. The bladder system of claim 1, wherein the second surface forms an entire rear face of the valve member, wherein the fifth surface forms an entire bottom face of the valve member, and wherein the first surface forms an entire top face and an entire front face of the valve member. 13. The bladder system of claim 12, wherein the valve member comprises a top rear edge separating the first surface and the second surface, a bottom rear edge separating the fifth surface and the second surface, a top medial edge separating the first surface and the third surface, a bottom medial edge separating the fifth surface and the third surface, a top lateral edge separating the first surface and the fourth surface, and a bottom lateral edge separating the fifth surface and the fourth surface. 14. A sole structure comprising the bladder system of claim 1 and an outsole, wherein the fifth surface is oriented toward the outsole. 15. The sole structure of claim 14, further comprising a midsole. 16. The sole structure of claim 14, wherein the valve member is located in a midfoot region of sole structure and is disposed adjacent to the forward end of the bladder. 17. The sole structure of claim 16, the forward end of the bladder is part of a forward portion of the bladder, and wherein a width of the valve member is between 80% and 100% of a width of the forward portion of the bladder. 18. The sole structure of claim 16, the forward end of the bladder is part of a forward portion of the bladder, and wherein a width of the valve member is approximately equal to a width of the forward portion of the bladder. 19. The sole structure of claim 14, wherein the bladder system extends through forefoot, midfoot, and heel portions of the sole structure. 20. An article of footwear comprising the bladder system of claim 1.
