Details

The Nike Vomero 18 continues its legacy as one of Nike’s most luxurious daily trainers, engineered for runners who prioritize deep cushioning and long-lasting comfort. Its dual-density midsole pairs responsive ZoomX superfoam with durable, supportive ReactX, creating a taller, softer underfoot platform with enhanced protection and smooth rollover mechanics. The result is a plush stride that reduces impact strain and encourages effortless forward motion, ideal for easy days, weekly long runs, and recovery-focused mileage.


A lightweight engineered mesh upper accommodates a wide range of foot shapes, while a padded collar and plush tongue deliver comfort that feels premium from the moment you step in. The podular traction outsole improves flexibility and stability across changing surfaces, ensuring steady footing and fluid transitions over long distances. With elevated stack, refined cushioning distribution, and comfort-first detailing, the Vomero 18 remains a standout option for everyday runners seeking an ultra-soft, reliable training companion.



MIDSOLE

  • ZoomX top layer of superfoam delivers Nike's greatest energy return, providing ultimate lightweight responsiveness.
  • ReactX foam bottom layer is built to deliver a high level of shock absorption without sacrificing energy return. It's durable and sustainable, with a 43% lower carbon footprint than previous React foam. 


OUTSOLE

  • High abrasion rubber provides exceptional durability.
  • Podular traction design creates an adaptable and smooth ride.


UPPER

  • Engineered mesh provides comfortable breathability, a spacious fit, and a more premium feel than before.
  • Plush collar and tongue enhance the enjoyable fit.
