New in town – Nike Air Zoom Vomero 14

New shoe in town. The Nike Air Zoom Vomero 14 has just released and it is actually a whole new model and not just a follow up to the Vomero series. The only similarity to the previous Vomero is the weight.  It is supposed to be Nike’s new heavy duty trainer for those long runs and a lot of mileage.

The Vomero 14 has a mesh upper with flywire and padding at the heel but with the flare away from your heel to avoid irritation of the Achilles.

It has a full length Zoom Air unit and uses React Foam in the sole – which I’m a big fan of.  A great combination for this one. The drop goes from 22 to twelve – a 10mm drop which will give you that feel of a forward lean in your stride.

Right now it has been released in two colors for Men – An all black and a Burgundy – and a grey with a touch of pink for women.

The style is pretty similar to some of the recent Nike Models and do remind me a bit of the Turbo and with similarities to the popular Vaporfly. The Turbo is my favorite so far this year, so that is not at all a bad thing.

I’m really looking forward to put some mileage in these but my initial impression is really positive.
