Our Verdict

Nike Vomero Plus

Nike Vomero Premium

The Nike Vomero Plus and the Nike Vomero Premium are the two new additions to the Vomero family within Nike's revamped lineup. The Plus version sticks closer to the Vomero family tree, maintaining a reasonable stack height but incorporating a full ZoomX midsole that delivers great bounce and excellent cushioning. The Premium version is the more experimental and "out there" shoe, towering nearly 10 mm higher than the Plus and integrating two AirZoom units into a ZoomX midsole. Although the Vomero Plus is heavier than the average running shoe, it's much lighter and more versatile than the Vomero Premium, which feels mostly suited to easy, recovery runs.
