Nike Sportswear keeps circling back to its performance era, and the Nike Zoom Vomero 5 “Black/Court Purple” fits that direction cleanly.
The upper leans heavily on contrast rather than complexity. Black synthetic panels frame open purple mesh, letting Court Purple and Hyper Grape do most of the work. Reflective hits along the Swoosh and midfoot feel purposeful, not decorative, and stay true to the shoe’s original intent.
The heel is where the character really shows. A molded lattice counter in deep purple adds structure and breaks up the silhouette, giving the shoe a more technical stance. Small Swoosh branding back there feels subtle and deliberate.
Underfoot, Cushlon foam and Zoom Air still deliver the balance the Vomero line is known for. It’s cushioned enough for long wear, but firm enough to avoid that overly soft, lifestyle-only feel.
The Nike Zoom Vomero 5 “Black/Court Purple” releases Spring 2026 for $170 via Nike.com and select retailers.
