A glance at Nike’s main running footwear lineup for 2025 reveals in a simple graphic that the company is banking on three stalwarts — the Pegasus, Vomero and Structure — to do the heaving lifting across nine models. The goal is to regain some of the grown the brand has ceded to New Balance, Hoka and others that have captured the attention and dollars of the daily trainer crowd.
The Pegasus 41 (along with its Plus and Premium siblings) arrived sporting familiar name and responsive rides, while the Vomero 18 has been a plush ride stunner that await its own Plus and Premium versions this year. Absent from the party is the once-popular Invincible, which is seemingly a casualty of the lineup reshuffle.
But Nike unveiled a revamped Structure 26 this week for stability-seeking runners who simply crave support.
The latest Structure arrives in July for $145, a modest entry by today’s shoe price standards, but the other partners in the Structure line will certainly point toward the $200 barrier.

OVERVIEW
It’s clear that Pegasus, Vomero and Structure trio are critical to Nike pulling its running lineup back to reality, as mega-performance oriented stars like the Vaporfly, Streakfly and Alphafly have seemed less emphasized as the models geared for the average runner get the bulk of the promo budgets this year.
But it also means that the new Structure benefits from retooling to its upper, midsole, tongue and gives consumers a chance to explore why the model has survived to 26 versions.

CHANGES
According to Nike, the Structure 26 rides on a full ReactX foam midsole which promises stability, comfort and keeping form in check for an everyday trainer that shouldn’t be packed with unpredictability between runs. The company touts “supportive cushioning” that differs from the supple Vomero and what was a stable of the now-departed (for now) Invincible.
The company’s midfoot support system grabs the medial arch and lateral heel to offer enhanced stability during each stride and is likely the main selling point of the Structure 26. That system is joined by a newer mesh upper, beefier tongue and a generously padded collar to protect the back of the foot and Achilles.
Curious runners will have to wait for full stat sheet on the Structure 26, so important details like stack, drop and weight are a delayed mystery. But press images reveal a shoe that visually invites the stability contingent to try the latest Structure thats easy on the eyes (and feet), while the Plus and Premium version will dial up the styling touches and upgraded materials.

IMPRESSIONS
Since we’re getting to the halfway point of real world experience with all nine of the models in Nike’s simplified running shoe family tree, the entire Structure line deserves to get its moment to audition in a very crowded foot wear landscape.
The $145 price point is certainly a positive detail in its favor and reviews — expert or “regular runner” — are likely to tap the latest Structure as a model that does what it’s initially being hyped to pull off. Stability and support are confidence-building reminders that runners don’t always have to sacrifice comfort for shoes built to go fast, not tip the scales but in turn bring some layer of uncertain roulette to the road.
