Nike Vomero Plus running shoes "Thunder Blue & Obsidian"
HV8150-405
This refined Vomero Plus delivers a deep, atmospheric aesthetic full of style and charisma. Stormy Thunder Blue almost becomes green over the thicker mesh of the upper as the thinner areas settle into a soft, greyish hue. Royal Blue highlights bring a lighter touch to the branding effects, from the miniscule Swooshes on the collar and toe cap to the branding text on the tongue and heel, while dark Obsidian accents add depth. Rippling contours of Thunder Blue foam form the midsole, echoing the undulating lines that flow along the upper beside the dusky sidewall Swooshes. Finally, the outsole completes the powerful colour scheme of this sophisticated design by combining the inky richness of Thunder Blue with the muted calm of Cool Grey.
Since its 2006 release, the Nike Vomero has been a key silhouette in the brand’s running collection. Always offering luxurious cushioning and elite-level comfort, it became one of three core franchises to be included in Nike’s contemporary road-running lineup. Its specialism is maximum cushioning, meaning that it provides plush comfort for steady, long-distance runs and recovery days.
ZoomX foam: Soft, lightweight and energy-returning foam offers excellent shock absorption and plush comfort alongside an ultra-responsive feel.
Sculpted engineered mesh upper is soft, flexible and breathable, offering a snug, sock-like fit. A translucent outer layer adds protection without compromising on comfort.
Contoured bands along the sidewalls create structure, increasing durability and lateral stability.
No-sew panelling protects the toe and reinforces the eyestay.
Plush padding on the collar and tongue eliminate lace pressure and prioritise comfort.
Webbed fabric lace loops can be adjusted to personalise the fit and ensure firm lockdown.
Tongue features an integrated lace loop to stop it slipping out of place during movement.
Reinforced upper eyelets provide extra security and offer different lacing options.
Reflective elements improve visibility in low-light conditions.
Structured internal heel counter supports the back of the foot without being too rigid.
Fabric pull loop on the heel facilitates easy on and off.
Full-length ZoomX foam makes up the entire midsole, delivering soft, lightweight, shock-absorbing cushioning that protects the legs over many miles. It provides around 85% energy return, which makes for a highly responsive feel.
Large stack height of 45mm in the heel and 35mm in the forefoot offers maximum impact protection and reflects the comfort-focused functionality of the Vomero line.
Rocker geometry in both forefoot and heel encourage smooth transitions through the foot.
High sidewalls produce greater stability through the midfoot and heel.
Full-length rubber outsole features high-abrasion compounds for outstanding durability.
Classic Waffle lugs of varying shapes and sizes provide top-tier traction on pavements and roads.
Wide base in the heel helps to stabilise the soft foam midsole.
Thin insole maximises the effects of the plush ZoomX foam by allowing the foot to interact more directly with it but can easily be removed for those requiring custom orthotics.
