A fluid-filled bladder (40) for an article of footwear is disclosed that includes a sealed outer barrier (50) and a tensile member (60). The barrier is substantially impermeable to a fluid contained by the bladder, and the tensile member is located within the barrier and bonded to opposite sides of the barrier. The tensile member (60) defines a flexion area (65) that promotes flexing of a first portion (64a) of the bladder with respect to a second portion (63b) of the bladder. The flexion area is an area where the tensile member is absent, and the flexion area may have the configuration of a space, aperture, or indentation, for example.
