    Vomero 5s are nice, but Nike's price point is ridiculous for these. They shouldn't be more than $120.

      ​​​@@jackjackdomAll these patented and trademarked cushioning "tech" is nothing but holes in foam and treatment done to it. Doesn't cost Nike much. So quit hyping the shit. It's not that revolutionary.
      The shoe costs Nike less than $10 to make.

    • @jackjackdom
      @jackjackdom 10 місяців тому

      I dont disagree with you, i am just saying that they will not give "all" of that for that price.. You act like nike is the only company in the world that makes something for 10-20 bucks and sells it at 20x more.. Literally every company in the world is that.. Every tech, car, house etc.. @@GOD999MODE

    @NS-rp1wg 10 місяців тому +4

    Vomero 1s were true marshmallows under your feet. So insanely bouncy and squishy. Nike toned that softness down for the Vomero 2s and the line followed that from there. I would love if they brought the 1s back with the same Cushlon formulation and not what they used in the 2s. Until then, I’m interested in trying a pair of the 5s out one day!

  • @papakimchitv674

    I rode the New Balance wave for the past 2 years. Every 990 and 2002r. These beat all of them by a country mile. I know they are a retro runner but could legit run in these if I forgot my regular running shoes.

    • @ZBrown-sm6gi
      @ZBrown-sm6gi 10 місяців тому +3

      These beat the 990s?? You've gotta explain how and which ones you tried..
      In my experience these are no where close quality and longevity wise. Comfort wise similar though.

    • @ddrombo
      @ddrombo 10 місяців тому

      @@ZBrown-sm6gi Yeah I'll admit....quality wise they really can't compare...and I was mostly comparing 990v3 (I think the best one) v4/v5 and 991/992/993. But if I'm running out of the house and know I'll be on my feet for the whole day, I'm choosing the vomeros (supersonics lately) over all the NBs.

Honestly top 5 shoe of the year and definitely most wearable shoe of the year. I am hoping I can get the anthracite colorway on sale.

    Hi, awesome video all always!I believe that black rubber is on the right spot as hard compound because heel and tip of the toes are the first and the last contact between foot and the concrete and there is the most of sliding and rubbing happens.
    In basketball that would be on the spot's that your're sugesting.

    • @WearTesters
      @WearTesters  10 місяців тому +1

      They went over their high wear areas. If the tip and heel of the shoe are hitting the concrete for someone then the wearer is not walking or running with an efficient gait - they’d be dragging their feet one way or the other.

    These and Tailwind IV are my personal favourites when it comes to comfort. I wish they’d bring back the Tailwinds in new colorways, too.
    Also some people are natural forefoot strikers, others midfoot and some heel strikers. There’s not really proper or inproper gait, unless we’re talking performance runners. It depends on an individual’s biomechanics. Vomeros were essentially for Sunday runners and not for performance runners. Running shoe brands take this into account and cater for different gait types with drop, support and cushion in different shoes. The Vomeros in comparison to Pegasus were meant for relaxed 10-20 mile distance runs, where the gait is shorter and tired feet are more prone to heel striking. The drop is 9,6mm and ideal for heel strikers. Forefoot/midfoot strikers should opt for a much lower drop in 0-6mm range.
    Also the softer rubber adds more traction at the expense of durability, which is needed for takeoffs, uphills, downhills and wet pavement.

    Looking at these you may think of this as a dad shoe, but suddenly this makes me miss my dad's Air Copious shoe which came out sometime around the 2010s. I loved running in those, even when the Air unit popped since my dad weighed close to 200 lbs when he was losing weight to get back into shape, it gave this air piston cooling effect that I absolutely loved, even if its impractical!

Back in my day, growing up in the 90’s and 2000’s we considered this type of shoe, a gym shoe. Kinda looked down in as it wasn’t nearly as cool as skating shoes, or platform shoes. I had both.
