After ACW’s success the Nike Vomero returns to its essence

After the successful rebirth of Nike Zoom Vomero 5 by Samuel Ross and A-COLD-WALL*, Nike is ready to return to Vomero 5 in its original form.

Available in both white and black, and without the ACW* heel block that has caused so much discomfort and pleasure, the Vomero 5 Retro features a multi-layered upper, a Cushlon foam sole and Zoom Air sole, plus 3M reflective accents around the toes and heel areas. Finally, Nike’s Swoosh logo is added on the heels and sides and on the midsole.

The Nike Zoom Vomero 5 Retro arrives in black and white on February 1 at select Nike Sportswear and Nike.com stores.

The debate over whether the plastic piece should or shouldn’t is over.
