Features
The sustainably-made Nike Vomero 18 will take your everyday road runs to a whole new level.
Nike layered two types of foam—ZoomX and ReactX—to create the latest iteration of their essential comfort shoe. The Vomero 18 has a 46 mm stack height in the heel and a 36 mm stack height in the forefoot, making it the tallest midsole in the Vomero series. With that maximum cushion underfoot, this shoe promotes more efficient long runs, thanks to a high energy return.
The Nike Vomero 18 gives the support you need to go the extra mile(s).
Details:
- Upper: A mesh upper keeps the shoe breathable, while the plush tongue and collar enhance the all-around comfort.
- Midsole: Soft ZoomX foam stacks on top of ReactX foam in the most cushioned Vomero shoe yet. This unique midsole creates a high energy return for maximum comfort on road runs.
- Outsole: High abrasion rubber on the sole promotes premium durability and great traction on pavement. This redesigned traction pattern, along with the shoe’s upward curve, encourages a seamless heel-to-toe transition with every stride.
