NIKE Men's Air Zoom Structure 24 Sneaker

Product Information

Unlike the Vomero 16, the Structure 24 has 3 flex grooves on its forefoot which helps with flexibility and makes the ride feel more relaxed. The result is a more consistent ride than the Pegasus and Vomero because CMP 010 foam surrounds the airbag in the forefoot whereas the forefoot of the Pegasus/Vomero feels much firmer than the rearfoot so the ride feels inconsistent. The cushioning property comment though is not as valid, as the rearfoot is still extremely firm in the Nike Structure 24. The Nike Zoom Structure 24 is for those who want a firm, mild to moderate stability shoe with a slightly wider fitting upper. A variety of claims have been made about crash pads, including that they help control pronation or provide extra cushioning like Nike does above.

The stability in the Structure 24 comes from its wide base and its built-up midsole on the medial side which prevents excessive inward ankle rolling. Running shoe crash-pad design alters shoe touchdown angles and ankle stability parameters during heel–toe running.While no medial post was present, internal geometry made for a naturally supportive ride and the firmness contributed to the stability, rather than just making the shoe feel like a brick. There are also no longer reflective strips on the sides of the toe box like on the 23, but there are still reflective strips on the sides of the heel counter. The pressure on the medial side has remained consistent and actually increased as the midsole has broken in.

This collapse of the lateral side will cause the foot to stay on the lateral side of the shoe as it progresses forward through the gait cycle.

I caution those who are sensitive to these as I have begun to notice it slightly more as the heel collar padding breaks in. This systematic process is to ensure that we have experience with each shoe in a large variety of conditions to provide expansive and thorough reviews for the public and for companies. For racing flats we ensure that we have completed intervals, a tempo or steady state-run as well as a warm-up and cool down in each pair prior to review.
