The Vomero Plus is quickly becoming one of the most popular running-meets-lifestyle sneakers in the game, and ultra clean color combos like the new Nike Vomero Plus Light Orewood Brown are a big reason why. Built to work with just about any fit, here’s why this pair deserves a spot in your rotation.
Unlike many other Vomero Plus colorways out there, this one keeps things extremely neutral. The upper is dripped out in engineered mesh (a lightweight, breathable tech borrowed from Nike's legendary AlphaFly lineup), and it's drenched entirely in Light Orewood Brown. A White Swoosh glides seamlessly across the lateral and medial sidewalls, and the tongue is proudly embellished with the brand new “Vomero Plus” plate. Cotton laces tie everything together, and around the back, you'll find a fabric pull tab so you can get in and out with ease.
But the main reason why you'd consider getting this silhouette lies along the bottom half of the shoe – the midsole. Powered by the American sportswear giant's world-renowned ZoomX foam, it delivers the brand's highest energy return yet. It's lined with a high-abrasion rubber outsole for unrivaled grip, and the Vomero Plus is then covered in 3M reflective accents – making it the perfect companion for early morning or late-night runs.
Scheduled to release in Fall 2025 via Nike and select retailers both online and in-store, the Nike Vomero Plus Light Orewood Brown will be available in unisex sizing with a retail of $180.
