Sometimes pounding the pavement feels exactly like that – pounding. But what if your easy jogs, recovery runs, or those first tentative tries could feel seriously, blissfully plush? Nike might just have answered our prayers with the brand-new Vomero 18. It’s the latest release of their much-loved cushioned runner, and trust us, it’s designed to help you love every single step. Whether you’re lacing up for the first time or you’re a seasoned pro logging serious kilometres, the Vomero 18 is all about delivering a supremely soft ride that’s kinder to your body.
Stacked To The Max!
Nike’s calling it ‘maximum cushioning,’ and frankly, we’re here for it. The Vomero 18 boasts the highest stack height ever in the Vomero family. Translation: more glorious cushioning packed between your feet and the road, making every stride feel softer and lighter.
Even better, the design crew tapped into specific insights from female runners to perfect that high-stack, high-cushion experience. The Vomero 18 will also be offered in kids’ sizes, the first time a kids’ running shoe utilises ReactX foam — meaning the shoes have the potential to be a favourite for family runs.
The Techy Bits
- Engineered mesh upper – Lightweight and breathable to keep feet cool all year round.
- Plush touchpoints – Extra softness at the ankle and heel for added comfort.
- Durable rubber sole – Offers traction and longevity on the road.
- Rocker geometry – The upward curve helps create a smooth heel-to-toe transition, making each step feel effortless.
Stylish & Bold
The Vomero 18 makes a statement with its bold silhouette – it’s a shoe that demands to be noticed, perfectly balancing high-performance tech with head-turning style. It’ll drop in various colourways, but the standout launch shade, ‘Atmosphere Pink,’ is pure energy. Nike chose it to represent the sheer joy of running and the incredible community that comes with it. We love that.
A Legacy Of Comfort
The Vomero series launched in 2006, with the Nike Zoom Vomero+ soon becoming the essential comfort shoe in the Nike Running line-up with cushioning designed to prioritise buoyancy for all distances. Throughout the Vomero’s evolution, performance additions like Air Zoom technology in 2008 and Flywire in 2014 have kept the Vomero at the forefront of Nike innovation
