If comfort is your north star, the Vomero 18 is your daily driver. This is Nike’s most max-cushioned neutral trainer to date, stacking premium ZoomX over responsive ReactX for a ride that’s soft, springy, and unapologetically smooth. It’s built to make easy miles feel easier, and long runs feel less taxing.

Who it’s for
Neutral runners logging consistent mileage who care more about durability and protection than shaving seconds. Ideal for easy days, recovery runs, and high-volume training blocks. Beginners will love the forgiving feel. Experienced runners will appreciate how it takes the edge off hard weeks.

Ride & character
Plush without being sloppy. The high stack (approx. 46 mm heel / 36 mm forefoot, 10 mm drop) pairs with a gentle rocker to keep transitions fluid. It’s not a tempo shoe, weight has crept up, but it’s stable, predictable, and designed to cruise.

What’s new vs. Vomero 17

• • More stack: +6 mm of cushioning for a noticeably softer platform.

  • Softer feel: Updated foam tuning delivers a plusher underfoot experience.

  • Refined upper: More padding through the collar and tongue, roomier forefoot, premium step-in feel (slightly less airy than before).

  • Comfort-first direction: Heavier, more protective, clearly leaning into max-cushion territory.
