Nike Structure 26

The Structure 26 is Nike's traditional stability trainer, using a firmer medial midsole and a wide, guided platform to keep overpronators tracking straight. Updated foam softens the ride compared with older Structures while keeping the supportive character. It is the Nike answer to the Adrenaline GTS and GT-2000 for runners who need real medial support.
