Vomero 5s are nice, but Nike's price point is ridiculous for these. They shouldn't be more than $120.

This is the Vast Grey SP originally from 2019. It has upgraded materials, better mesh, leather etc

These have been my silhouette of the year. Started with the first Cobblestone (womens sizing), then Doernbecher, Have A Nike Day and Supersonics 😅

I literally hopped on YouTube and was about to search for a review on these, until I saw your video at the top of my feed. Crazy coincidence!!

I rode the New Balance wave for the past 2 years. Every 990 and 2002r. These beat all of them by a country mile. I know they are a retro runner but could legit run in these if I forgot my regular running shoes.

I had the OG Vomero 5's. They were comfy AF. The only problem I had with them is that the black part on the outsole peels off quite easily.

Vomero 1s were true marshmallows under your feet. So insanely bouncy and squishy. Nike toned that softness down for the Vomero 2s and the line followed that from there. I would love if they brought the 1s back with the same Cushlon formulation and not what they used in the 2s. Until then, I’m interested in trying a pair of the 5s out one day!

I'm 6-7 pairs deep on Vomero's I'm so happy you guys are on the Vomero Wave now. Comfy is key.

As soon as I put this shoe on my foot. My first thought was I need another pair of these immediately 😮 I have this exact colorway and was ecstatic to get the supersonic colorway also. Honestly top 5 shoe of the year and definitely most wearable shoe of the year. I am hoping I can get the anthracite colorway on sale.

The ultimate dad shoe as bad boys?

The "Dad Boys" Era has begun, folks

[SpaceMagicStorm]

The volmero is having a moment lots of nice colorways dropping. Still like turning to yeezy or new balance for my dad shoes personally.

[Underpantsniper]

Air max excee is my go to dad shoe, extremely comfortable, looks very similar to a airmax 90, great colorways, easy to clean and affordable.

This has been one of my favorite Nike products ever since they first launched the retro in 2019 and been buying ever since!!! I’m own like 10 pairs.

[leecarpio]

Just got these on sale for $99 at the local Shoe Palace. After crushing these and breaking them in after miles from dog walking I am so thrilled to have bought these. Lightweight not too firm not too soft. Buy these now! Perfect for summer!

These and Tailwind IV are my personal favourites when it comes to comfort. I wish they’d bring back the Tailwinds in new colorways, too.

Also some people are natural forefoot strikers, others midfoot and some heel strikers. There’s not really proper or inproper gait, unless we’re talking performance runners. It depends on an individual’s biomechanics. Vomeros were essentially for Sunday runners and not for performance runners. Running shoe brands take this into account and cater for different gait types with drop, support and cushion in different shoes. The Vomeros in comparison to Pegasus were meant for relaxed 10-20 mile distance runs, where the gait is shorter and tired feet are more prone to heel striking. The drop is 9, 6mm and ideal for heel strikers. Forefoot/midfoot strikers should opt for a much lower drop in 0-6mm range.

Also the softer rubber adds more traction at the expense of durability, which is needed for takeoffs, uphills, downhills and wet pavement.

My shoes all wear at the heel first, I’ll have a perfectly clean upper with minimal creasing but the heel will start shaving uneven

[IAmInfinitus]

Looking at these you may think of this as a dad shoe, but suddenly this makes me miss my dad's Air Copious shoe which came out sometime around the 2010s. I loved running in those, even when the Air unit popped since my dad weighed close to 200 lbs when he was losing weight to get back into shape, it gave this air piston cooling effect that I absolutely loved, even if its impractical!

[terenceortiz]

Wore these on my European vacation this summer. Super comfortable for all that walking on cobblestone streets!

[SavNJ]

Was wondering when a pair would get reviewed. Copped the Supersonic and Mystic Blue pairs this year, easily my favorite purchases of 2023.

[mykey]

Been wearing these (different colorways) for a year now and keep drawing me back to these
