Over the last few years, one name in particular has been making big waves in the lifestyle sneaker scene – the Nike Zoom Vomero 5. Since its grand comeback in 2022, this sneaker has secured a firm spot in Nike’s long lineup with its impressive range of colours worn by celebrities, from basketball icon LeBron James to the musical maestro Drake. And if you think it’s been a great run so far, 2024 had some of the best Nike Vomero 5 colourways ever released.

A Bit About the Model

how do nike zoom vomero 5 fit

First appearing in 2011, the Nike Zoom Vomero 5 was initially marketed as a performance runner designed to give sprinters the extra edge to slash their mile timings. It quickly became popular among athletic circles due to its striking design and innovative cushioning system, comprising Cushlon foam matched with Zoom Air units. 

In a surprising twist, the Vomero underwent a dramatic image shake-up in 2019 when Nike collaborated with A-Cold-Wall to reimagine the shoe. The result was a chunky, revamped design that successfully pivoted the Vomero from a runner’s secret weapon to a front-runner in the fashion and lifestyle category. 

In the years that followed, Vomero re-emerged several times in selective runs, but it wasn’t until 2022 that Nike decided to bring this model back in a big way. In reality, it’s become the Swoosh Labels response to the persistent demand for ‘dad shoes’, fueled predominantly by Gen Z’s desire for semi-bulky, athletic footwear reminiscent of the early 2000’s aesthetic.

Suddenly, adoration began pouring in for its use of breathable yet sturdy materials such as a Mesh TecTuff® base and synthetic leather overlays, with features like reflective elements, ribbed quarter panels, and heel cages further enhancing its appeal. But the ultimate shining star in Vomero’s comeback story is undoubtedly its legendary Zoom Air cushioning technology. It delivers unparalleled comfort and support for day-to-day use. 

With Nike set to release a steady flow of stunning nostalgic reissues and fresh new colourways of the Vomero this year, it’s clear that 2024 is set to be another big year for this classic sneaker silhouette. 

5. Nike Zoom Vomero 5 “Sail Gum”

Nike Zoom Vomero 5 “Sail Gum” 

The design: The Nike Zoom Vomero 5 arrives in a sophisticated combination of “Sail” and “Coconut Milk” hues expertly balanced on the mesh and leather uppers. The tonal design is interrupted by a “Gum” rubber outsole. Inside is a “Flax” insole embellished with an image of Nike’s co-founder, Bill Bowerman. And let’s not forget the Zoom Air-equipped midsole and reflective 3M details that add to its overall appeal. 

What we like about it: The minimalist colour scheme makes it an optimal pick for the spring/summer season. The design on the upper is refreshingly toned down compared to some of the Vomero’s previous iterations, lending the shoe a classic edge that will easily pair with many different outfits. 

Release date: June 29, 2024

Where to buy it: This stunning women’s exclusive colourway is available for purchase on Nike’s official website and selected Nike retailers. It is priced reasonably at $160 USD.

4. Nike Zoom Vomero 5 “Electric Green Black”

The design: This eye-catching combination of “Bold Electric Green” mesh on the upper, perfectly offset by “Black,” “Grey,” and “White” overlays, is anything but tame. Plus, the playful pink stripes along the tongue and insole add an extra dash of fun to the mix. Functionality isn’t forgotten amidst the flamboyance, though, thanks to the inclusion of a midfoot cage for support and a Zoom Air-infused midsole for cushioning and shock absorption. Finally, the bi-coloured rubber outsole offers excellent traction across different terrains. 

What we like about it: The “Electric Green Black” colourway was first released back in 2019. At that time, the Vomero 5 model hadn’t entirely made its mark yet. But as they say, nothing ever stays the same, and this model is currently enjoying global acclaim. Riding on this wave of popularity, Nike has chosen to reintroduce this captivating colour scheme. This will surely be welcome news for those who have been coveting this particular style. After all, the resale prices for the 2019 release have been known to reach a jaw-dropping $2000 USD.

Release date: June 08, 2024

Where to buy it: This vibrant colourway is available on Nike’s official website and select Nike retailers, priced at $160 USD. It’s also available on eBay, FlightClub, GOAT, or StockX.

3. Nike Zoom Vomero 5 “Photon Dust”

The design: In an exquisite mix of grey tones, the “Photon Dust” sneakers sport a layered look that combines mesh and leather panels. Each pair is made even more eye-catching with metallic Swoosh logos and reflective details scattered throughout the design. Underfoot, they incorporate cushioned Cushlon foam with Zoom Air and a durable rubber tread. 

What we like about it: In a commendable move, Nike responded to consumer demand and released a men’s version of the much-coveted Vomero 5 “Photon Dust,” a women’s exclusive colourway that flew off the shelves during its 2023 drop. It’s just a really great blend of colours with the perfect touch of silver to truly make this sneaker shine.

Release date: September 1, 2024

Where to buy it: This silver stunner, priced at $160 USD, made its U.S. debut in 2024 through Nike.com and select Nike retailers.

2. Nike Zoom Vomero 5 “Metallic Gold”

The design: Featuring a crisp ‘White’ mesh base offset by ‘Metallic Gold’ leather overlays, the design exudes luxury. The gold shade is also highlighted on the iconic Swoosh and the moulded TPU heel counter. Completing the look, the sneaker flaunts a Zoom Air-cushioned sole unit and gleaming 3M detailing. 

What we like about it: Just a hint of gold adds a luxurious edge to any sneaker look. This colourway strikes just the right balance between sporty and elegant. 

Release date: June 8, 2024

Where to buy it: The women’s exclusive colourway arrived in the Summer of 2024 on the Nike website and at a few selected Nike retailers, all for a tidy sum of $160 USD. But this exact shade is also currently available for purchase on FlightClub, GOAT, and StockX. Even better—some pairs are going below the retail price, meaning you might snag a real bargain!

1. Nike Zoom Vomero 5 “Design By Japan”

Nike Zoom Vomero 5 "Design By Japan"

The design: This particular model showcases a striking blend of “Pale Ivory,” “Light Bone”, and “Pale Vanilla” hues draped across its complex textile framework, which includes blends of leather, suede, and mesh. “Black” and “Aquarius Blue” undertones then act to accentuate other elements of the design. However, this colourway’s standout features are the dramatically oversized Swooshes gracing the profiles, the smooth TPU plating at the heel, and the pull tabs on the tongue and heel. To top it all off, the insole is adorned by a full-scale graphic of Bill Bowerman in lieu of the usual Bowerman facial logo. 

What we like about it: The Nike Zoom Vomero 5 has once again proven to be a favourite, this time undergoing a high-end transformation as part of the Design by Japan series. Merging vintage preferences and contemporary design trends, this style gives the model a fresh yet chic look that gracefully transcends the usual Vomero 5 aesthetic. Considering this is the most luxurious update the retro running shoe has been given so far – it’s undoubtedly a groundbreaking moment, especially given that the silhouette has been on the market for several years. 

Release date: June 1, 2024

Where to buy it: This women’s exclusive colourway is on sale on Nike.com and at chosen Nike outlets, priced at $180 USD.
