The Nike Vomero Premium is a high-performance running shoe designed for those seeking substantial cushioning. With a stack height that significantly contributes to its plushness, the shoe features a firm **31.5 HA foam** that provides a stable platform, making it suitable for runners who prefer added support.
Our lab results indicate that the **ZoomX foam** offers notable shock absorption; however, it also results in a heavier feel during runs. This model is particularly ideal for runners prioritizing comfort over speed, evidenced by its **10 mm drop**, which assists heel strikers in maintaining an efficient gait.
