Ever since the Zoom Vomero 5 was brought back, the sneaker game has been blessed with some truly mad color combos like the Barbie or even the Chlorophyll. But for 2025, the retro running shoe is going covert with the Nike Zoom Vomero 5 Black Reflective. And while it looks sleek and stealthy at first glance, it's actually got a secret tucked up its sleeve.
When it comes to its design and its composition, the Black Reflective doesn't really stray too far from the OG. If it ain't broke, don't fix it, right? Building on top of a mesh base, it's overlaid by leather panels throughout for a premium look and feel. The midfoot cage is crafted from flexible rubber for added support, and it's overlaid by the legendary Nike Swoosh that glides across the lateral and medial sidewalls.
