The overall popularity of the Vomero 5 and resulting heavy stream of colorways to grace the model means that Nike is flirting with peak saturation for the model. We’ve seen a countless number of chrome-heavy, techy looks on the model, prompting Beaverton creatives to explore new territory. That adds an extra layer of intrigue to the Nike Zoom Vomero 5 “Bred” that just emerged on top of its historical ties.

Of course this ushers the retro running style into a canon alongside storied Nike, Inc. models like the Jordan 1, Jordan 4 or Jordan 11. Any mix of a jet black foundation and fire red flares will create those links. However, uniting the leather overlays and mesh underpinnings the way this colorway does is also worthy of note, a rare design choice on the Vomero 5, typically leaning into layered profiles and top/bottom splits.

Where that does come into play with this pair is compositionally, as ripstop materials and leather atop it makes for a hardier built, better suit for all-season wear than your mainline editions. Look for the Nike Zoom Vomero 5 “Bred” on Nike.com and local shelves this Spring, retailing at the typical $160 MSRP. Catch official images ahead in the meantime.
