Nike Vomero 18 

Cushioning and Midsole Tech

• Stack Height: Offers a generous 46 mm in the heel and 36 mm in the forefoot, about 6 mm more than the previous Vomero 17 

• Dual-Layer Midsole: Employs a layer of ZoomX foam on top of ReactX foam, offering a responsive, springy, and soft feel—Nike claims ReactX is 13% more responsive than previous React technology 

• Soft New Foam Collar: Designed to deliver a comfort that’s about 18% softer than the Vomero 17 

Ride and Geometry

• Rockered Sole Design: Enhanced rocker geometry creates a smoother heel-to-toe transition, improving ease of stride and forward propulsion 

• Durable Outsole: High-abrasion rubber with flex grooves for longer durability and traction 

Upper and Fit

• Engineered Mesh Upper: Lightweight and breathable, with a plush tongue and heel collar for added comfort 

• Foot-Hugging Comfort: A sleeve-like interior and generous padding make for a snug yet comfortable fit, although breathability may be slightly sacrificed 

Weight & Use Cases

• Weight: Relatively heavy—around 11.3 oz/320 g (men’s US 10) to 11.5 oz/325 g depending on reviewer; it runs lighter than it feels, thanks to its responsive cushioning
