Why We Love This Deal
Lately, Nike has been tickling its fans' nostalgic desires by re-releasing some of its old-school running shoes amid the growing trend in footwear. We've seen styles like the iconic Nike Pegasus and the early-aughts V5 RNRs come to life, as well as one style that was, and still is, beloved for its comfort—the Zoom Vomero—and they're on sale, too.
The Nike Zoom Vomero 5 is now marked down to as low as $102 in at least a few of its many colorways, up to 40% off. A fresh batch just landed in the Nike store, so this is a rare opportunity to get any size without hassle. If you’re familiar with Nike’s sale section, however, you’ll know that inventory dries up fast and popular sizes disappear quickly, so don't wait to get one.

What Shoppers Should Know
- Sizes Available: From 6 to 15
- Color Options: There are 16 available colorways for the Zoom Vomero 5, but the Barely Volt yellow has the best deal and size availability
- Best Use Case: Retro fashion, daily walking
The Nike Zoom Vomero 5 has thick padding and a classic running shoe style, making it a familiar fit for those of us who’ve done on-and-off jogging over the years. They’ve got Nike’s bouncy Zoom Air cushioning that’ll put that good feeling spring in your step as you go, too.
But these aren't really used for running in 2025 as much as they are purely for style. The Zoom Vomero 5 is a busy shoe, with accents of leather, plastic, and textile all over. This Barely Volt colorway, in particular, has vibrant colors that attract the eyes in a way that commands attention. Intriguingly, while many parts of the shoe have that '90s glow-in-the-dark yellow-green color, it is the lace strap on the tongue that will shine the brightest at night.

What Shoppers Are Saying
The Zoom Vomero 5 has received overwhelmingly positive ratings, scoring a 4.8 out of 5 stars at Nike. As stylish as they are, wearers also notice comfort right away, and it’s there in heaps. “This midsole is legit and comfortable,” one shopper said, “you can stand in them all day.”
Another described running in the shoes through days wet and dry and added, “I have even enjoyed runs outside in the winter in Minnesota with the Vomero 5 thanks to the versatile waffle grip.”
The Nike Zoom Vomero 5 is now marked down to $102, a 40% discount from the usual $170, but sizes aren't guaranteed to stick around. Grab the one you want ASAP.
