Matt Varga The tech runner movement is dead; long live the tech runner movement. Though fashion insiders and industry prognosticators have started to murmur that the days of the throwback performance styles that’ve become a titan in the landscape could be numbered, if anything, brands are redoubling their efforts rather than slowing down.
That may not make our front page every time it happens, but the Nike’s, adidas’, Saucony’s, and everyone in between continue to mine their own archives to ensure that they’re staying in contention for the “it shoe” when it comes to Y2K style. It’s only due diligence, but when it comes to Beaverton, they’ve already got a load bearing silhouette in the Nike Zoom Vomero 5, trotting along as a favored marketplace option.
If you’ve yet to grab the 2010 style or are in the market for a fresh colorway, this “Metallic Gold” offers some offbeat style. No doubt, the “Metallic Gold” overtones on this pair aren’t new to the sneaker, but rosy backing for the Swoosh and subtly delicate tints throughout its profile help balance out the aggressively utilitarian aesthetic the Vomero has always built on.
The Nike Zoom Vomero 5 “Metallic Gold” should be coming to Nike.com and associated channels as part of the Summer/Fall slate. The usual $170 MSRP is confirmed.
