Nike Zoom Vomero 14 Review
Nike Zoom Vomero 14 General Info
The Vomero 14 is the a higher cushioned neutral trainer from Nike. Although less well known as the Pegasus or less advertised than the Epic React, the Vomero represents the max-cushion level of the neutral line.This shoe will directly complete against popular max offerings like the Brooks Glycerin, Saucony Triumph ISO, asics Gel Nimbus, New Balance 1080.Those other shoes are way more visible at races than is the Vomero, but Nike hopes this model changes all of that.When these shoes arrived, I was excited. From the pictures online and from pre-review research, I wanted to see these shoes in person, and they did not disappoint.This is perhaps the best looking shoe (physically) that I have ever reviewed. I was sent the Burgandy Ash/Gunsmoke colorway, and they are just amazing looking shoes.Got to give Nike credit, they know how to make something visually appealing.Upon putting them on my feet, I was impressed by the quality feel. They withstood a full day teaching while giving plenty of cushion, and the first run I did in them went well.I noticed the forefoot cushion was a little lacking, and that is something on which I will spend some time during the breakdown.
Nike Zoom Vomero 14 Sole Unit
The redesigned sole unit for the Vomero includes moving towards a more streamlined look and feel everywhere. This means the sole unit takes on the blade-like look that Nike has started using for the Vapor Fly and Pegasus.This means the base of the to...
Nike Zoom Vomero 14 Upper Info
The redesign of the upper is a huge upgrade from the 13s. The unit uses seamless construction, but in a more streamlined manner while partnering more cohesively with the Flywire technology Nike has become known to use.This technology is very good at locking in your foot while also adapting throughout your stride. This adaptive technology is a highlight on any Nike offering.This upper has joined the sole unit in the blade-like look, and that is awesome except for the narrower forefoot.It was still wide enough for me, but barely. If I were a wider foot, this shoe would have been uncomfortable in its narrowness.The engineered mesh used is top-notch material. It is quite breathable while still being supportive. This upper uses strategically-placed cushion pads on the collar to help the feeling around your ankle.A small piece, but something I did notice and enjoy. And lastly, they included a lay-flat tongue that was cushioned and breathable.Something comfortable and often overlooked, the tongue is something that can ruin a shoe and this one does not.
Nike Zoom Vomero 14 Conclusions
Nike has obviously spent a lot of time and money on updating this shoe. And for the most part that money and time has paid off. The new Vomero is an obvious step up from the 13s.The upper is well designed — beyond just the looks — and supports your foot throughout your stride. This upper blends well with the sole unit, and it is an overall upgrade over the 13s.However, when I put down $140 for a max-cushion runner, I expect the sole unit to have more of a max-cushion feel under the forefoot.In the end, this shoe is a great offering, and something in which I would happily do most of my runs, and even race 5ks, 10ks and Half marathons. Heck, I think these would be solid race-day shoes for a full.If you like Nike, and you like the Pegasus, then you owe it to yourself to check these out. They might just be the upgrade you need.We purchased a pair of Nike Zoom Vomero 14 from runningwarehouse using our own money. This did not influence the outcome of this review, written after running more than 50 miles in them.
