Stable Cushioning and Controlled Support for Everyday Running
The Nike Structure 26 SE Women's is designed for runners who need stability without sacrificing comfort. Built as part of Nike’s core stability lineup, it delivers a smooth, supportive ride for daily training and longer distances.
The midsole features full-length ReactX foam, providing a cushioned yet stable transition from heel to toe. This updated foam is approximately 13% more responsive than previous React technology, helping deliver a smoother and more efficient run. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}
A structured midfoot support system wraps around the arch and heel, helping guide your foot through each stride and reducing excessive inward rolling (overpronation). :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}
