Nike Air Zoom Vomero 14 Running Shoes
The Nike Air Zoom Vomero 14 Men's Running Shoes take responsive cushioning to the next level. The full-length zoom air unit works with Nike React cushioning to deliver a super snappy, smooth ride. Up top, the sleek design is engineered to support your every stride.
Sleek, Breathable Mesh Upper
A sleek, mesh-knit uppers will encase each foot in breathable comfort. Perforations in the fabric increase airflow, creating a better, healthier environment for your feet to thrive in. In addition, a Dynamic fit technology is added and combines flywire cables and soft foam for an adaptive, supportive fit in the midfoot. The cables hug and hold as you tighten the laces, reducing in-shoe slippage so that you can enjoy smooth, distraction-free strides. They're wider than traditional flywire cables, so they lay flat while still stabilising your foot, reducing the risk of chafing and skin irritation.
Furthermore, One set of cables has been removed from the top lace to dispel all restrictions as you flex your foot. The padded collar and foam pods inside the collar hugs and cradles the ankle, supplementing the Vomero's pillowy nature by supplying soft support. Lastly, a notched and padded tongue gives a stable and secure fit while protecting the top of the foot from uncomfortable lace pressure.
Full-Length Zoom Air Unit Midsole
A moulded sockliner, 5 mm thick, exists to enhance midsole cushioning and cradle the foot in lightweight anatomical comfort. Situated in the midsole is the full-length Zoom Air Unit that is positioned closer to the bottom of the shoe, so you can feel more of the react technology underfoot, but you still get the snappy sensation that comes along with full midsole compounds. Zoom Air Technology combines pressurised air with internal fibres to deliver responsive cushioning that springs back fast, so you can move faster. Its advantage is that, as well as providing excellent impact protection, it boasts a super lightweight and low-profile design which lets your feet sit closer to the ground, enhancing proprioception so that you can run more efficiently.
New to the Vomero 14's is the use of Nike's innovative React technology. React cushioning resides underfoot to deliver feathery resilience plus smooth responsiveness. To produce this startlingly lightweight and springy midsole, crafted from synthetic rubber, Nike listened to the voice of the athlete. Their in-house sports research lab plugged footstrike data into a proprietary algorithm that determined how much cushioning was needed where. They simulated testing on (about) one hundred possible shoe geometries to quickly determine the handful they knew would work best for most runners and then merged the science with an elegant design, intended to feel like a slipper on a mattress. The reactive nature of this clever midsole material means it absorbs impact and then expels it back out for a bounce-like effect. This energy-return technology reduces the use of superfluous muscle power, diminishing fatigue and enhancing performance, keeping you going for longer. Soft, generous and substantial, React will spare your joints as you strike down onto hard, unforgiving concrete and infuse every stride with the kind of zealous power that is often elusive in the running world.
Durable Foam Outsole
A durable foam outsole completes the Vomero 14, adding another dimension of softness to this great distance option. Flex grooves adorn the underside of the shoe, promoting natural foot flexion for an uncaged feel. The foam crash rail on the lateral side of the outsole extends from the toe to the heel and acts as a cushioning device at contact, encouraging an even transition from heel-strike through to toe-off. Rubber covers the heel to increase the shoe's durability, resisting the traumas of heel-strike to provide you with a long-lasting running buddy. Lastly, the heel is bevelled to optimise the initial touchdown, promoting a smooth transition to midstance.
