Even though the Zoom Vomero 5 has been back for a hot minute, the hype surrounding the silhouette isn’t going anywhere anytime soon. First released in 2011 and reissued in 2019, it’s only gained more traction since. Not only have we been blessed with collaborations from the likes of A-COLD-WALL* and co-signs from Drake, but we’ve also seen an endless stream of killer general releases, including the upcoming Nike Zoom Vomero 5 Pale Ivory Chlorophyll.
In the 14 years since the Vomero 5 first hit shelves, we’ve never seen one quite like this. The toebox and collars are dressed in Smoke Grey mesh, while Pale Ivory suede wraps elegantly around the rest of the upper. Across the sidewalls, a rubberized midfoot cage adds stability, overlaid by an Off Noir Swoosh outlined in white. This balanced, neutral palette continues down to the Cushlon midsole, which houses Zoom Air cushioning for lightweight responsiveness, comfort, and all-day wearability.
But while Nike could’ve easily stopped there and guaranteed a sellout, the Beaverton label went ten steps further. Bright chlorophyll accents hit the tongue, laces, and inner lining, injecting just enough energy to make the design pop. Underfoot, the insole is stamped with a portrait of Nike co-founder Bill Bowerman, a thoughtful detail that throws it back to the brand’s deep-running heritage and performance-driven roots.
The Nike Zoom Vomero 5 Pale Ivory Chlorophyll is set to drop Fall 2025 via Nike and select retailers for $160.
