Nike Vomero 18

Sizing

Reviews find the Vomero 18 true to size in length. Width is disputed: some reviewers call the toe box narrow, others find it roomier than recent Nike models. Nike also sells a wide fit.

About

Nike released the Vomero 18 worldwide on 27 February 2025. It is the max cushion shoe in Nike's simplified road running line, which also holds the Pegasus and the Structure. Two foams make up the midsole: lightweight ZoomX on top, ReactX underneath. Nike says ReactX returns 13 percent more energy than the earlier React foam. The heel stack reaches 46 mm, 6 mm more than the Vomero 17 and the tallest the line has had, over a 36 mm forefoot and a 10 mm drop. A men's US 10 weighs about 325 g by Nike's count. Engineered mesh forms the upper, with a plush tongue and lining. Rubber pods round the outsole and a rocker shape help the foot roll from heel to toe. Nike built the shoe for everyday runs, recovery days and long distance training, and shaped it with input from women runners. Launch price was 150 US dollars, 10 dollars below the Vomero 17. Atmosphere Pink led the first colourways, with Dusty Cactus and Sunset Fade beside it. Within 90 days Nike's chief executive was calling the shoe a 100 million dollar franchise. The Vomero name goes back to the Zoom Vomero of 2006.
