Max cushioned trainers have gained in popularity in recent years with lots of runners moving to shoes like Hoka One One (basically any model), Brooks Glycerins, asics Gel Nimbus and the Saucony Triumph ISO.

However, when people in recent years have thought about neutral runner from Nike, the only real name to come to mind has been the Pegasus. The bigger sibling, the Vomero, has been an afterthought.

I understand why, often being overlooked for new technologies and updates (the 13s resembled the Pegasus 30s in my mind). However, in the fully redesigned 14s, Nike is finally willing to showcase the Vomeros and let them have the spotlight.

Nike Zoom Vomero 14 General Info

The Vomero 14 is the a higher cushioned neutral trainer from Nike. Although less well known as the Pegasus or less advertised than the Epic React, the Vomero represents the max-cushion level of the neutral line.

This shoe will directly complete against popular max offerings like the Brooks Glycerin, Saucony Triumph ISO, asics Gel Nimbus, New Balance 1080.

Those other shoes are way more visible at races than is the Vomero, but Nike hopes this model changes all of that.
