The Nike Vomero 17 combines ZoomX and Cushlon 3.0 for maximum cushioning. After 300 miles of daily training, here's how this plush trainer performs.
Dual Foam Cushioning
The combination of ZoomX in the forefoot and Cushlon 3.0 in the heel creates a unique ride. The forefoot feels springy while the heel provides stability – best of both worlds.
Comfortable Daily Miles
Perfect for easy runs and long miles. The maximum cushioning reduces fatigue and makes high-mileage weeks more manageable. Recovery feels faster.
Improved Upper
The engineered mesh upper is breathable and comfortable. The shoe runs true to size with secure midfoot lockdown. No hotspots or pressure points.
Versatility Limits
While excellent for easy and long runs, the soft cushioning and high stack make these unsuitable for faster paces. Purpose-built for comfortable training miles.
