As Nike announces a new Vomero 18 running model for release in late February 2025, the Oregon-based footwear manufacturer also gives consumers a fresh approach to picking out a pair of running shoes. The new model helps splits Nike running into three main silos, all based around cushioning.

With a focus on cushioning and simplicity, Nike introduces three distinct categories designed for different running needs

Each of the three franchises will be offered in "Icon," "Plus" and "Premium" iterations to meet any and all runners' needs.

As mentioned, the Vomero now sits in Nike's new, simplified road running lineup for 2025. The Vomero is the maximum cushioning option, and sits alongside the Pegagus, Nike's responsive ride option. The final offering is the Structure, offering supportive cushioning and stability for runners who overpronate.

Nike has introduced the Vomero 18, its latest road running shoe that will be available globally on February 27, 2025.

Enter, the Vomero 18. The latest iteration of Nike’s mega-plush Vomero range, this pumped-up road shoe promises supreme comfort and enjoyment for even the longest training runs and races, not to mention the tallest midsole so far and a level of responsiveness not previously seen in the Vomero family.

Featuring the ReactX foam and a 46mm stack height, the Vomero 18 delivers an ultra-comfortable ride designed for easy, recovery, and long runs

The latest iteration of the Vomero has undergone a complete overhaul as Nike redraws the lines for its running lineup.
