The Nike Structure Plus Aims to Make Us Confident Runners

Nike’s latest trainer exudes confidence, comfort, and support, all without sacrificing what makes a great running sneaker.

The Nike Structure Plus, which combines the peace of mind of a stability shoe with the extreme comfort and fun of super-foam in a bold design, has an expressive design that inspires runners to lace up and let the miles fly.

The Structure Plus brings a combination of ZoomX and ReactX cushioning to Nike’s stability lineup for the first time, offering runners the amped underfoot sensation and energy return of super foam in a supportive, comfortable silhouette fine-tuned to bring out the best in everyday training and long runs.

To create the Structure Plus, Nike studied the movement of hundreds of elite and everyday runners, using their insights to dial in the optimal combination of stability and cushioning. The result is an unprecedented stability shoe purpose-built to meet the exact needs of runners who want support, cushioning, and the springy underfoot sensation of super foam.

The silhouette features Nike’s innovative midfoot support system wrapping both the medial arch and lateral heel to provide enhanced stability throughout a runner’s stride. This system pairs with a ZoomX midsole and ReactX foam carrier that provide exceptional cushioning, reducing impact on the body. This combination of support and cushioning helps deliver the stability runners need while maintaining a more comfortable, fluid running experience.

A thoughtful 32-millimeter stack height in the forefoot and 42-millimeter stack height in the heel, the tallest ever in the Structure line, pairs with wider nets to ensure stability, especially through the midfoot. Meanwhile, high-abrasion rubber in the heel ensures exceptional traction and durability in high-impact zones, and blown rubber in the forefoot provides consistent softness and ground feel.

These innovations come to life in a distinct, eye-catching design that takes cues from retro Nike footwear and features a range of classic and bold colorways, from black and white to sunset hues and a playful lime green.

The introduction of the new silhouette offers stability runners a choice within Nike’s Structure franchise — one of three distinct categories comprising the brand’s simplified road running footwear lineup. The Structure Plus is built to meet the core needs of stability runners by providing more energy return, a different underfoot sensation, and increased softness and cushioning.

The Nike Structure Plus will launch exclusively at running specialty stores worldwide on January 8, 2026, before becoming available at nike.com and additional retail locations on February 5.
