The Nike Vomero 18 is a max-cushioned trainer designed for runners seeking significant underfoot comfort. With increased foam, it provides an enhanced step-in feel, ideal for those prioritizing cushioning during longer runs.
However, lab tests indicate that the shoe has gained weight, which may impact performance for speed-focused athletes. Additionally, its decreased flexibility and grip performance suggest it may not be the best choice for technical trails or varied terrain.
