I keep a rotating list of runners I would actually wear with regular clothes, and the Zoom Vomero 5 has lived near the top of it for a couple of years now. This CORDURA build is the latest one to catch my eye. The Vomero 5 takes early 2000s running and drags it into the present, and this pair wraps the familiar chunky silhouette in durable CORDURA fabric and suede, with Zoom Air cushioning underneath for a smooth ride.
The colorway is what sold me. College Grey mesh up top, Baroque Brown suede overlays, black on the cage and midsole, and then a University Red Swoosh stitched across the middle of it all. It reads like a hiking boot and a retro runner had a kid, and honestly that combo works way better than it should. The red is loud but the rest of the shoe is muted enough to carry it.
Zoom Air in the heel is the part people forget about with Vomeros. The 5 has that soft, bouncy step that makes long days on your feet easier, and the CORDURA shell means the upper can take a beating from weather and daily grind without falling apart. These came out November 6 for $180 at Nike in the standard full-size run.
If you have been waiting on a Vomero 5 that does not look like every other one on the shelf, this is the one. The red Swoosh against all that brown and grey gives it a personality most colorways in the line skip.
