Settle in — with longer distances, quicker speeds, and testing your boundaries. This is the invitation Nike offers to all runners with the launch of its Vomero 18, establishing a new benchmark for maximum cushioning and road running comfort.
Developed from the insights and requirements of female runners to cater to all genders, this top-tier design embodies smoothness and gentleness, offering a comfort-first experience with a lightweight feel.
The updated Vomero incorporates ZoomX foam throughout the shoe along with ReactX in the heel and forefoot, delivering double-stacked cushioning for an exceptional run. With balanced foam stacks that provide more cushioning than ever, the shoe boasts an increased stack height of 46mm, which is 6mm taller than its predecessor, making it the highest in the Vomero series.
Maximum cushioning is the ideal sensation for everyday runs, and this soft, plush ride accommodates a wide range of athletes: from novices gearing up for their first run to seasoned runners aiming to extend their mileage or commence their post-race recovery, as well as anyone seeking comfort throughout the day.
“We learned from runners that when they think of maximum cushioning, they picture a soft, plush experience that lessens the impact felt from the ground. We meticulously focused on the details to provide the running community with that sensation through top-notch design and technology,” explains Ashley Campbell, Running Footwear Product Line Manager. “This philosophy is evident throughout the Vomero 18, a shoe designed specifically to offer every runner — from casual to elite — an ultra-comfortable ride that is supportive and gentle on the body, helping them reach their goals.”
The Vomero’s sole is crafted from durable rubber for traction during high mileage, and its upward curve features a refined rocker geometry for a smoother heel-to-toe transition. The upper is made from soft, stretchy engineered mesh that enhances breathability around the toe and tongue.
Beyond its functional versatility, the Vomero 18 also makes a statement. With its bold yet soft appearance, the silhouette stands out with design elements that highlight both running and daily life. For example, the heel lift of the Vomero denotes movement and is where runners feel maximum cushioning with each stride. Its curvy shape is aesthetically pleasing and provides seamless flow throughout every run, while varying material textures enhance its dynamic visual appeal.
With women's style preferences taken into account, a vibrant array of colorways allows runners to showcase their individuality, with the standout “Atmosphere Pink” option representing the uplifting joy felt during long runs, complemented by a color scheme that enhances the shoe's elevated aesthetic.
Nike is also introducing the comfort, style, and modern design of the Vomero 18 to its children's running range, providing the next generation of runners with ReactX foam for the first time and the highest stack height among Nike kids’ running shoes.
The Vomero franchise is part of Nike’s streamlined Road Running Footwear Lineup, which is founded on trusted icons and dedicated to the features runners value most: cushioning.
The Vomero 18 signifies a new age of maximum cushioning for supreme comfort, while the Pegasus line offers responsive cushioning for all-day energy return, and the Structure line delivers supportive cushioning for a stable ride.
This new lineup allows runners to choose their preferred cushioning style for any desired run. It also simplifies the process of finding the right footwear with the right mix of advantages, technology, and price, creating a more welcoming and accessible experience—especially for first-time runners or those adding another shoe to their collection.
“We heard from runners that they wanted a more intuitive experience when selecting running shoes. Consequently, we have streamlined our Road Running Footwear Lineup to focus relentlessly on the essential need for cushioning,” states Marian Dougherty, Senior Director, Global Running Footwear. “Based on iconic franchises, the new lineup assists runners in finding their ideal ride — whether it’s highly responsive, maximum cushioning, or a supportive option.”
The Vomero 18 is now available worldwide at nike.com and select retailers.
