Nike Vomero Premium runners "Chicago Marathon"
IV6297-300
Bright, bold and exhilarating, this Vomero Premium celebrates the iconic Chicago Marathon. The Deep Teal upper darkens just before it reaches the midsole, beginning an eye-catching gradient that slowly edges towards black at the Waffle-inspired outsole. Both here and in the midsole the visible Zoom Air cushioning emits an invigorating Green Strike glow. On the upper, this joins the stylishly toned-down shade of Arctic Green to accent the tongue branding, the exaggerated Air and ‘Chi’ lettering on the flanks and the custom heel logo honouring the Windy City. Another of these distinctive emblems adorns the vibrant Energy purple insole, with its Chicago-inspired print, to conclude this colourful homage to the historic road race.
Since its 2006 release, the Nike Vomero has been a key silhouette in the brand’s running collection. Always offering luxurious cushioning and elite-level comfort, it became one of three core franchises to be included in Nike’s contemporary road-running lineup. Its specialism is maximum cushioning, meaning that it provides plush comfort for steady, long-distance runs and recovery days.
ZoomX foam: Soft, lightweight and energy-returning foam offers excellent shock absorption and plush comfort alongside an ultra-responsive feel.
Zoom Air: Pressurised airbags filled with pressurised nitrogen gas and tensile fibres provide ultra-responsive support and highly effective shock absorption.
Mono-blended engineered mesh upper is soft and flexible, highly breathable and incredibly lightweight.
Broad tongue includes plush padding and integrated lace loop to ensure comfort and security across the top of the foot.
Textured nodes bring durability to the flanks.
Heel and tab collar are well-padded for a cushy, luxurious feel around the ankles.
Heel counter provides stability.
Reflective elements enhance visibility in low-light conditions.
Punched eyelets are reinforced for reassuring lockdown and durability.
Semi-gusseted tongue improves containment.
Full-length ZoomX foam midsole is highly responsive and provides unrivalled shock absorption.
Zoom Air units in the forefoot and heel have been strategically placed so as to maximise energy return through optimal compression, delivering outstanding responsiveness and top-level support for recovery runs and long-distance training.
Stack height reaches 55mm in the heel and 45mm in the forefoot, making it taller than all of its running shoe predecessors and offering maximum impact protection that reduces leg fatigue and stress-related injuries.
Rocker geometry encourages the foot to roll forwards naturally, increasing momentum and ensuring smooth transitions while maintaining stability.
Firm plastic heel clip at the top of the midsole helps with stability.
Full-length high-abrasion rubber outsole gives high-mileage durability.
Waffle grip pads offer reliable grip on both wet and dry roads.
Alternate spacing of lugs maintains flexibility.
