At the end of last month, Nike took the wraps off its International Running Team collection. Featuring some of the American sportswear giant's most celebrated track models, including the Alphafly 3, Pegasus 41, and the Vaporfly 4, it also boasts the Vomero 18. And after checking out the Vivid Sulfur color combo a few days ago, we're now getting up close and personal with another Nike Vomero 18 GC W.
The Vomero 18 GC W was created by legendary designer Katsunobu Asayama and was built with feedback from some of the brand's greatest athletes. Dripped out in Mint Foam engineered mesh, it's accented with Bleached Turquoise tones to really make things pop. A duo of Swooshes slice through the sidewalls, while the tongue and collars have been injected with extra foam for added comfort. There's even a pull tab around the heel so you can get in and out with no dramas.
But the main star of the show has got to be the midsole underfoot. Sure, it's not as chunky as the ones that you might find on the Vomero Plus or upcoming Vomero Premium, but it's still incredibly comfortable. Made from ZoomX foam stacked on top and ReactX foam along the bottom, it's apparently 13% more responsive compared to previous React technology. Nike then adds pods around the outsole to help enhance agility and make heel-to-toe transitions even smoother.
Set to release in September 2025 via Nike and select retailers both online and in-store, the Nike Vomero 18 GC will be available in women's sizing with a retail of $170.
