As Nike announces a new Vomero 18 running model for release in late February 2025, the Oregon-based footwear manufacturer also gives consumers a fresh approach to picking out a pair of running shoes. The new model helps splits Nike running into three main silos, all based around cushioning.

As mentioned, the Vomero now sits in Nike's new, simplified road running lineup for 2025. The Vomero is the maximum cushioning option, and sits alongside the Pegagus, Nike's responsive ride option. The final offering is the Structure, offering supportive cushioning and stability for runners who overpronate.
