Without a doubt, 2024 was the year of mesh runners. Every brand went hard in this category, launching new models and pumping out silhouettes from Y2K and the early 2010s. Nike's premium answer to this trend was the Vomero 5, which has become one of the more popular products from The Swoosh as retro basketball models have fallen to the wayside. Previews of pairs slated for 2025 have been hitting the ‘net for months, with the new Psychic Blue Thunder Blue colorway being the latest to appear.
Like other iterations of the performance-runner-turned-lifestyle-staple, the sneaker has a wide-spaced mesh base and synthetic leather overlays. Psychic Blue hues are present on the base layer of the sneaker, moving up toward the tongue and taking over the lace set. Thunder Blue accents mark the midfoot TPU cage, Swoosh, and sockliner.
