Nike Vomero Plus and Vomero Premium unleash next-gen cushioning and innovation for all runners, from recovery miles to record-breaking training.
A New Era of Cushioning Has Landed
Nike has officially introduced the Vomero Plus and Vomero Premium. These two new styles mark a significant advancement in the brand’s maximum cushioning category. They are designed for runners of all levels. With these shoes, you can enjoy enhanced comfort and experience reduced impact. Additionally, they offer exceptional energy return. As a result, athletes can run farther and recover faster than ever before.
Whether you’re a first-time runner looking for comfort or an elite marathoner chasing records, the Vomero Plus and Vomero Premium were created to meet you where you are and take you where you want to go.
Vomero Premium: A “Super Trainer” for Recovery and Performance
The Nike Vomero Premium isn’t just another plush trainer — it’s a super trainer built with race-day insights and recovery-focused technology. Combining ZoomX foam with exposed Air Zoom units in the forefoot and heel, it offers a powerful blend of responsiveness and softness. With an ultra-tall 55mm heel stack, it delivers the most cushioned experience ever seen in Nike’s road running lineup.
Inspired by anti-gravity treadmills used by elite athletes, the Vomero Premium creates a near weightless running sensation that minimizes strain and maximizes recovery. Designed with input from world champions like Faith Kipyegon, the shoe is built to keep the legs fresh through intense training blocks.
“It’s so soft, cushioned and comfortable,” says Kipyegon. “It helps me train harder with less impact and stay focused on my goal.”
The exposed Air Zoom units are intentionally visible. This design allows them to expand and compress easily with each stride. As a result, you experience increased energy return and that signature Nike bounce. Whether you are going for daily runs or tempo sessions, the Vomero Premium excels in supporting marathon-level performance. At the same time, it feels comfortable like a recovery shoe.
Vomero Plus: Soft, Smooth, and Surprisingly Responsive
The Nike Vomero Plus serves as a modern update to the popular Vomero 18. It sits alongside the Premium model and strikes an ideal balance between cushioning and responsiveness. The shoe features a full-length ZoomX midsole, which ensures a comfortable experience. Additionally, it has a 45mm heel stack that provides the same 85% energy return. However, the Vomero Plus offers a more grounded and versatile design, making it suitable for various runners.
The Vomero Plus boasts refined rocker geometry and a wide platform. These features work together to ensure comfort on different terrains and distances. Additionally, the soft, stretchy engineered mesh upper enhances this comfort. Whether you run five kilometers or fifteen, the Vomero Plus delivers a smooth and forgiving ride. As a result, you can enjoy your run while reducing strain on your body.
Conner Mantz, winner of the 2024 U.S. Olympic Marathon Trials, praises the shoe’s well-rounded feel:
“The perfect amount of cushioning… I feel energy return in just the right way.”
Built with insights from Project Dreamweaver, a group of women runners training for the Olympic Trials, the Vomero Plus is thoughtfully designed to support a broad range of foot shapes, strides, and goals.
Jess Hull, 2024 Olympic silver medalist, says:
“It gives new runners the ability to run anywhere at any time without concern for firm surfaces or high impact on the body.”
Part of a Streamlined Footwear System
The Vomero Plus and Vomero Premium now stand as flagships within the Vomero family — Nike’s answer to the growing demand for maximum cushioning. Alongside the Structure (for stability) and Pegasus (for daily responsiveness), the new Vomeros help define a simplified yet complete Nike running system.
This clearer lineup helps runners choose the right cushioning, support, and energy return for their training needs — making Nike’s advanced tech more accessible than ever, whether you’re building your first rotation or fine-tuning your marathon kit.
