The resurgence of the Nike Zoom Vomero 5 has been nothing short of impressive. Two years into its retro run, the shoe has surpassed expectations and solidified itself as a dominant force within Nike‘s current footwear lineup. Unafraid to embrace the chunky tech-runner aesthetic of the early 2000s, the Vomero 5 has achieved a level of streetwear ubiquity that’s undeniable. Its latest iteration wisely sticks to a winning formula, offering a clean and contemporary take on the ever-popular “Triple Grey” colorway.
This new Nike Zoom Vomero 5 takes a heavy dose of metallic tones, a signature element of the Y2K era that’s enjoying a welcome revival. The upper features a compelling blend of three complementary grays: “Wolf Grey,” “Metallic Silver” and “Cool Grey. The use of these adjacent tones creates a sense of visual depth that keeps the design interesting without venturing into overly busy territory.
While replicating the explosive popularity of past Vomero 5 releases like the “Chrome” or “Gold” editions might be a tall order, the reflective accents on this “Triple Grey” iteration offer a compelling alternative. Not only do they add a touch of subtle flair, but they also provide some nighttime visibility, a handy bonus for urban explorers. Ultimately, this new colorway strengthens the Vomero 5’s already impressive catalog of coveted options.
Look for the Nike Zoom Vomero 5 “Triple Grey” to hit Nike retail channels and authorized distributors in the coming weeks. The shoe is expected to maintain the typical $160 retail price associated with the Vomero 5 line.
