Nike Structure 25

If you've been eagerly awaiting the arrival of the new Nike Structure 25, at RUNNEA we tell you all about this stability shoe from the Oregon brand. This latest iteration of the Structure 25 comes with significant changes to recover the essence of a trainer designed to run with the support, cushioning and comfort needed in all types of road training.

Clearly, the Nike Structure 25 is the flagship of the renowned American company when it comes to running shoes for overpronators. In this sense, Nike's designers have responded to the primary demands of their loyal followers, because the Nike Structure 25 represents a total reconstruction of the trainer, including its design and aesthetics.

What are the new features and main characteristics of the Nike Structure 25?

As it happens in most of the Nike running shoes catalogue, the twenty-fifth edition of the Structure has also focused on shaping a more stable—as expected in this line—and lighter model, but which is also more efficient than its predecessors. This means that the running experience is safer and more comfortable, and therefore more satisfying, especially when your training plan includes long-distance running sessions.

With the Nike Structure 25, Nike Running's product developers have struck the right balance between performance, functionality and design in equal parts. This contributes to offering the best performance to all runners who require correction for overpronation during their runs.

On a technological level, the construction of the midsole of the Nike Structure 25 focuses all its efforts on providing more stability where it's needed the most: in the plantar arch area, where there is a greater amount of foam to reduce the excess rotation of the ankle towards the inside. In this way, the combination of the Cushlon 3.0 foam and the Zoom Air unit—in the rearfoot and forefoot—contributes to a smoother, firmer and more responsive run, thanks to improved rebound.

The increased amount of foam also helps this running shoe increase its level of comfort and support over its predecessor, the Nike Structure 24. In addition, its rocker design makes the runner more efficient during all three phases of the stride cycle:

• It increases flexibility in the toe-off phase.
• It offers greater fluidity in the swing phase.
• It improves shock absorption in the landing phase.

Another interesting detail of the Nike Structure 25 is located in its molded heel. This feature keeps the Achilles tendon in its proper position, adding better support and stability to this part of the trainer.

Regarding the upper, the Nike Structure 25 features a single-layer technical mesh to increase breathability, but also to ensure greater durability and resistance. In addition, the materials on the inside of the heel, ankle area and tongue to make the parts of the trainer that come in direct contact with the ankle soft and comfortable. The tight laces also improve support, but without being too constricting.

The outsole boasts a durable and more sustainable rubber compound, since it is produced with 8% recycled materials. It includes a new tread pattern with grooves in the forefoot area for improved flexibility, while vertical grooves on the sides offer greater stability.

Runner profile for the Nike Structure 25

The tried-and-true combination of cushioning and stability in each stride makes the Nike Structure 25 one of the most popular options for runners with overpronation of medium or heavy weight (up to a maximum of 90 kilograms).

Recommended uses: long-distance training, but it's also suitable for those shorter sessions in which you want to run at a more relaxed and softer pace. It is also ideal for recovery runs, without sacrificing optimal responsiveness, thanks to the stability, reliability and efficiency it provides in each stride. Versatility for all types of training.
