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.

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 is setting a new standard in road running comfort with the Vomero 18, a shoe designed to offer unmatched cushioning and style for athletes of all levels. At 46 mm, the Vomero 18 has the tallest stack height in the Vomero franchise’s history, and it is built for longer runs, faster paces, and ultimate comfort.

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.

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

Nike introduces a revamped Road Running Footwear Lineup, providing runners with a streamlined way to select the ideal shoe for any type of run. Designed to connect athletes with Nike’s most trusted innovations, the lineup is organized around three distinct cushioning categories, making it easier than ever to find the perfect fit.

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

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