Nike Structure 26 - Steady stability for everyday road running
The Nike Structure 26 delivers supportive cushioning with proven stability technology for daily training. Featuring a full-length ReactX midsole—13% more responsive than previous React foam—paired with a trusted midfoot support system, this steady everyday trainer provides controlled transitions from heel strike through toe-off for runners needing structured support.
Full-Length ReactX Cushioning with Stability
ReactX foam spans the entire midsole, offering cushioned comfort with enhanced energy return whilst maintaining the stable platform stability runners require. The higher stack height provides substantial underfoot protection without feeling unstable, creating a controlled yet responsive ride. At 321g with a 10mm drop, it balances supportive construction with manageable weight for regular training volume.
Proven Midfoot Support System
The tried-and-tested midfoot support system wraps around your arch and heel, helping slow the rate of ankle eversion—the inward rolling motion that overpronators experience. This creates a firm, stable platform through transition and toe-off phases, maintaining proper alignment throughout your gait cycle. It's the stability technology runners have trusted in the Structure line for years.
Comfortable, Supportive Upper
Engineered mesh construction provides breathable support, whilst the plush collar and tongue deliver step-in comfort without pressure points. This combination creates an improved fit that stays secure through longer runs. High-abrasion rubber in the heel ensures durability through consistent mileage, whilst lighter, more flexible rubber in the forefoot maintains cushioning and natural movement.

Is the Structure 26 right for you?
Overpronation controlling your stride? The Structure 26 addresses this challenge with its midfoot support system and ReactX stability platform. It works brilliantly for runners accumulating regular road mileage who need that firm, controlled base—especially those whose physios or running shops have flagged stability requirements. This suits runners coming back from injury requiring extra support, building weekly distance whilst needing reliable alignment, or those who've found neutral trainers simply don't provide enough structure. From consistent weekday training to progressing towards specific race targets or maintaining active fitness with regular runs, you get the controlled, steady foundation that makes sustainable running possible.
