Nike Vomero Plus – ZoomX Cushioning, Taken to Its Logical Extreme
The Softest, Lightest, Most Responsive Vomero Ever Made.
The Nike Vomero Plus isn’t just an update — it’s a category reset. While the Vomero line has long been Nike’s benchmark for premium daily cushioning, the Vomero Plus takes the formula and rebuilds it around a massive stack of pure ZoomX foam: the same pinnacle cushioning compound used in Nike’s elite racing shoes. The result is a daily trainer that absorbs impact with racing-grade softness, propels each stride with genuine energy return, and weighs less underfoot than its stack height suggests. It’s softer, lighter, and more responsive than the Vomero 18 in every measurable way.
ZoomX Midsole
- Full-length ZoomX foam stack — Nike’s highest-performing foam compound, originally developed for the Vaporfly and Alphafly racing lines. ZoomX is a PEBA-based foam that delivers exceptional energy return alongside class-leading softness and low weight. Using it as the primary midsole in a daily trainer is a significant step up from the nitrogen-infused React or standard Cushlon compounds found in most of the Vomero line.
- Ultra-high stack height for maximum impact absorption across every landing — whether you’re on pavement, concrete, or treadmill surfaces.
- Lively, bouncy ride character that actively returns energy rather than simply absorbing it — the Vomero Plus doesn’t just cushion your runs, it helps carry you through them.
Upper and Outsole
- Engineered mesh upper with a soft feel and high breathability — the upper construction prioritizes comfort without adding unnecessary weight or rigidity, letting the ZoomX midsole do the structural work.
- High-abrasion rubber outsole with a traction pattern designed for long-term durability on road surfaces — durable enough to justify running high weekly mileage in a shoe this premium.
Who It’s For
The Vomero Plus is built for runners who want the performance feel of a ZoomX shoe without the race-day narrowness and firmness of the Vaporfly or Alphafly. It’s a daily trainer that genuinely feels like a step up — not just a comfortable shoe, but a shoe that makes easy runs feel effortless and long runs feel shorter. Available in a range of clean, versatile colorways.
