Testbericht: Nike Structure 26 - Wie auf Schienen 3 Vergleiche (German)

Artikel von Nils Scharff

Nike Structure 26 (140€)

Einleitung

Nike hat Anfang des Jahres angekündigt, seine Trainingsschuhe künftig in drei klar definierte Produktlinien („Silos“) zu unterteilen:

• Pegasus: Der klassische Daily Trainer für die breite Masse.

• Vomero: Die maximal gedämpfte Trainingsalternative.

• Structure: Der Stabilitätsschuh für Läufer:innen, die zusätzlichen Support benötigen.

Innerhalb dieser Silos gibt es jeweils ein sogenanntes Hero-Modell – also die Standardversion des jeweiligen Schuhs – sowie ergänzend eine Plus- und eine Premium-Variante. Während die Plus-Modelle durch weichere, reaktivere Schäume wie ZoomX eine neue Dämpfungsdimension eröffnen, bringen die Premium-Modelle zusätzliche Technologien ins Spiel, etwa durch den Einsatz von Zoom Air-Elementen („Zoom Pods“), wie man sie bereits aus dem Pegasus Premium oder Vomero Premium kennt.

Im Fall des Nike Structure 26 liegt bislang nur das Hero-Modell vor – und genau dieses habe ich getestet. Der Schuh richtet sich laut Nike an Läufer:innen, die „mehr Halt bei jedem Schritt“ benötigen. Schon der Schuhkarton trägt prominent den Slogan „Run Supported“ – und genau darum geht es beim Structure: Stabilität und Führung.

Ich persönlich laufe seit Jahren überwiegend in neutralen Schuhen – früher habe ich Stabilitätsmodelle getragen, als ich mit dem Laufen begonnen habe. Heute bevorzuge ich neutrale oder stabile neutrale Modelle, die nicht aktiv in meinen Bewegungsapparat eingreifen. Umso spannender ist für mich die Frage, ob der Structure 26 als klassischer Stabilitätsschuh Einschränkungen oder sogar Probleme verursacht – oder ob er sich auch für Läufer:innen eignet, die eigentlich keine Unterstützung benötigen.

Im folgenden Bericht erfahrt ihr, wie sich der Schuh im Training geschlagen hat, welche Technologien zum Einsatz kommen und ob der Structure 26 auch für „Neutral-Läufer:innen“ eine interessante Option sein kann.

Tech and Features

The Runner 4 keeps things simple but smart. They’re super light, about 26 grams, so once they’re on you barely notice them. 

You get both Bluetooth for streaming and 16 GB of built-in MP4 storage, which means you can load up a bunch of songs and head out without your phone. Battery life runs close to 8 hours, plenty for long runs or a full gym day. 

Charging and adding music is easy—the magnetic cable just snaps in, and your computer sees it like a little flash drive so you can drag songs right over.

 

Usability Fit 

The fit is really comfortable and secure. I didn’t have any issues with the neckband at all, it just sat in place and I forgot about it. No hot spots either, even with sunglasses or a hat on. 

I tested them on runs, during strength training, and even through a cardio circuit just to see if they’d slip or bug me. They didn’t move once and never got in the way, no matter what I was doing.

 

Performance

Out on a run, I like that I can still hear what’s happening around me—cars, bikes sneaking up, even birds when I’m on the trail—while my playlist  rolls in the background. 

The sound isn’t big on bass, but it’s clear enough for workouts and voices come through sharp. Battery life felt close to the 8-hour mark, even with the volume turned up. Calls sound fine unless you’re standing in heavy traffic. 

And every once in a while you’ll feel a little vibration on the cheekbones when the beat hits, but that’s just part of bone conduction and it never threw me off.

Conclusions 

All in all, the Runner 4 does exactly what it promises: it gives you music without blocking out the world around you. They’re light, comfortable, and stay locked in place whether you’re running, lifting, or just moving through a busy street.

If  being able to hear your surroundings is a priority and you still want reliable headphones for training, these are an easy recommendation.

Comparisons

Compared to the Shokz OpenRun Pro 2, the Runner 4 doesn’t have quite the same sound polish or extra-long battery, but it makes up for it with built-in storage and a lower price tag. If you just want great sound and don’t care about storing music on the headphones, Shokz might edge it out. But if leaving your phone at home and still having music ready sounds appealing, the Runner 4 is the more flexible choice.

Jana Herzgova took up running in 2016, after a back injury. Prior to that she was a speed skater, but due to back pain and doctor's recommendation, she transitioned into running. Since then, starting with shorter ultra distance races she quickly evolved into an avid long distance and unsupported mountain runner. She also loves to take on challenges/races in arctic and subarctic climates, mainly in unsupported and semi-self supported style. She currently lives in Utah/Wyoming.
