Nike’s Vomero 18 was one of, if not the biggest hit release for the brand in 2025.
In fact, last year, CEO Elliot Hill revealed that the cushioned running shoe had become a $100 million franchise within just 90 days of launch.
Now, three versions of the ultra-popular sneaker are surprisingly on sale for 24% if you know where to look.
An answer to Hoka and others
The Vomero 18 represents Nike’s competitive response to the maximally cushioned running shoe trend pioneered by brands like Hoka.
At the heart of the shoe is a dual-density midsole that combines lightweight ZoomX foam stacked on top of responsive ReactX foam.
This newly engineered foam configuration delivers 13% more cushioning than previous React technology, providing a comfortable ride for everyday runs without feeling sluggish.
The shoe features an engineered mesh upper for breathability and a redesigned podular outsole with strategically placed pods to enhance agility and create smoother heel-to-toe transitions. A plush tongue and padded collar add to the snug, comfortable fit that runners have been raving about since launch.
