Nike has been recently highlighting the Zoom Vomero 5 sneaker model and now offers a Lavender colorway palette of the shoe in time for the Spring season around the corner. The retro-tinged sneaker retains its construction starting off with a mesh netting by the underlays and continuing with grated synthetic by the side panels.
The branding is applied in the form of protruding Swoosh emblems on the lateral side. Additional details include the triangular gridded heels, the Nike Vomero 5 branding on the tongue tabs, and more branding that feature Bowerman Series emblems of Bill Bowerman in a suit and top hat. It all sits on top of thick white midsoles at the base and has the BRS 1000 treaded black outsoles.
