Nike Air Zoom Structure

The Nike Structure 26 marks a bold new chapter in one of Nike’s most trusted stability franchises. Redesigned for runners who want dependable support, plush cushioning, and smooth performance across daily miles, the Structure 26 delivers a steady ride without compromising on comfort. Built on over three decades of innovation, this latest version introduces Nike’s most refined stability features yet, anchored by a full-length ReactX foam midsole. This updated midsole delivers 13% more energy return than previous React foam, while offering a soft, responsive, and fluid ride from heel strike to toe-off. At the heart of the Structure 26 is a midfoot support system that wraps both the medial arch and lateral heel. This helps manage excessive inward or outward motion (pronation or supination) without relying on the rigid components typically found in stability shoes. Instead, the ReactX foam platform and geometry work together to provide a smooth, controlled ride - offering the support runners need in a way that feels natural and unobtrusive. The zonal outsole complements this stability system by improving traction and enhancing durability. High-abrasion rubber is placed in the heel for long-term durability, while softer blown rubber in the forefoot delivers a smooth ground feel with each toe-off. Up top, the new engineered mesh upper delivers structure, flexibility, and breathability in equal measure. Increased padding in the collar and tongue adds step-in comfort, while the updated fit better secures the midfoot and allows toes to splay naturally - supporting long-distance comfort and everyday versatility. The Structure 26 is ideal for runners seeking a stable daily trainer they can trust for everything from long runs to routine miles. It belongs in our Float Experience category for its smooth transitions, stable cushioning, and refined ride. Whether you’re new to running or a seasoned runner, the Structure 26 offers a dependable platform to help you run with more confidence, comfort, and control.
