Matt Varga Quiet as kept, we’re nearing a half decade since the Nike Zoom Vomero 5 re-appeared, spurned by Samuel Ross’ A-Cold-Wall collaboration. Unquestionably, the past year and change we’ve seen the push behind the vintage runner pick up precipitously, but some of the more lasting colorways predate that initiative. “Bright Crimson” is chief among them, first dropped in 2020 and brought back earlier this summer. Capitalizing on that energy, the latest look for the Vomero 5 flips its formula for a brand-new “University Red” colorway.
Though the Vomero 5 is prone to issue multiple takes on the same palette, that “Bright Crimson” pair is pretty clearly a touchstone for this edition, inverting to a layout of neutrals on the base layer and fiery “University Red” on top. The resulting emphasis on metallic tonality puts in the Y2K category of Vomero 5 looks, that chromed out aesthetic explored plenty in a deluge of recent releases. All told, it’s a slightly altered take on some explored territory, offering up a new option to add this everlasting color combo to your wardrobe.
The Nike Zoom Vomero 5 “University Red” is expected to hit Nike.com and select retail shelves in the coming weeks, carrying a $160 retail price upon arrival.
