No matter how many Zoom Vomero 5s Nike throws at us, we just can't get enough of them. After taking a look at the Black Reflective and the Light Orewood Brown a few days ago, we're now being blessed with the Nike Zoom Vomero 5 Metallic Silver Court Purple – and here’s everything you need to know.
First released in 2010, the Zoom Vomero 5 was originally positioned as a premium running shoe, bridging performance tech with a more experimental design language. While it quietly disappeared from shelves after its initial run, the silhouette was resurrected in the late 2010s when the Beaverton brand began reissuing archival models. Since then, it’s been embraced by fashion circles as much as by runners, with collaborations and limited editions cementing its cult status.
For this version, the sneaker works on top of a crisp White mesh base, accented with Metallic Silver tones throughout. Court Purple leather descends upon the toebox, and complementary shades hit the midfoot cage to tie everything together. Across the sides, slick Black Swooshes shoot through the laterals and medials, while the back is equipped with a geometric heel counter that offers unbelievable levels of support.
Shift your focus down below, and you'll find a Cushlon foam sole that’s fitted with Nike's legendary Zoom Air tech for next-level comfort. The Metallic Silver Court Purple is then rounded off with a tribute to Bill Bowerman on the insole – a nod to the American sportswear giant's track roots.
The Nike Zoom Vomero 5 Metallic Silver Court Purple is available now from Nike for $170. For your best chance to secure a pair, get Sole Retriever’s mobile app to stay updated on the latest drops, raffles, restocks, news, and more from across the sneaker and streetwear world.
