nike air jordan patent leather sneakers shoes | Our verdict

The Nike lace locks nike sb for sale on ebay shoes is a shining example of how a defunct running shoe can turn into an ultra-comfortable casual sneaker. We just couldn't get enough of its well-cushioned interiors that kept us cosy for hours! The shoe stands out from other Nike kicks with its responsive Zoom Air units and fabulously airy construction. Not to mention the vivid Y2K vibes that fit right into the whole dad shoe craze. We believe that New Balance finally has a tough competitor in this niche.

Who should NOT buy

With an MSRP of £160, the Vomero 5 can put a pretty big dent in your wallet. The shoe costs £50 more than the average low-top sneaker!

If you want a summer kick with a similar appeal that doesn't cost an arm and a leg, we highly recommend the nike jordan wholesale usa jewelry collection sale (£150) or the authentic nike air max 2018 women shoes 2017 boots (£100).

nike air jordan patent leather sneakers shoes | Cushioning

Heel stack

The Nike Vomero 5 feels sufficiently cushioned and grounded at the same time.

Measuring its stack height with a calliper, we found that there is 31.4 mm of material sitting in between the heel and the floor. It is just about the same as in the average sneaker.

Nike lace locks nike sb for sale on ebay shoes Heel stack

With a large Zoom Air unit under the heel, we found the Vomero 5 to be one of the best Nike kicks for all-day wear. It definitely inherited the impact protection from its past life as a running shoe.

Drop

As a daily running shoe in its past incarnation, the Vomero 5 has a moderate heel-to-toe drop of 9.6 mm.

It is a perfect setup where the heel is slightly elevated above the toes to offer more cushioning for the heel and take some pressure off the Achilles.

Midsole softness

Note: a low durometer measurement equals a soft material, whereas a high measurement means it's firm.

We were elated at the fact that the Nike Vomero 5 uses the same Cushlon foam as in the Vomero 17 (nike dunks white sparkle dress for women shoes).

Showing 28.0 HA on our durometer, it proved to be a moderately soft cushioning foam that is 10% softer than the industry average.

nike zoom vomero 5 midsole softness 21506284 main

Based on our extensive research and experience, the Cushlon boasts a high level of durability and provides lasting comfort underfoot. This is exactly what we expect from a pair of daily beaters.

Add two responsive Zoom Air units to the equation and you get a very pleasant, slightly bouncy, and cushioned feel that stays that way for hours.

Having pulled out a replica of the shoe's toebox, we measured its widest part at an above-average 95.4 mm. That's rooomier than most other D medium trainers we tested!

Laces

We have zero complaints about the Vomero's laces.

They look good, stay tied, and there is also a handy webbing on the tongue that helps to keep them in place.

Keep in mind that you will either get flat or wavy laces depending on the colorway.

Stability

Lateral stability test

We found that the Nike Vomero 5 is a moderately stable shoe that is going to feel supportive for most folks.

Back when it was a dedicated running shoe, the Vomero 5 was recommended for people with neutral pronation and normal arches. It means that their feet and ankles don't require any additional arch support as they don't roll inwards excessively.

Nike lace locks nike sb for sale on ebay shoes support

If you think that your feet could use more support, try the more stable trainers from ASICS and New Balance.

Torsional rigidity

The Vomero 5 may look all rigid and structured but it is actually quite forgiving.

Subjecting it to our manual stiffness test, we could easily bend and twist the shoe. On a scale from 1 to 5, where 1 stands for the highest flexibility, we readily gave this Nike sneaker a 2.

The small shank under the arch only vintage a touch of structure to the shoe's platform. It is not the type of shank that controled severe overpronation on the old-fashioned stability shoes.

The same goes for the shoe's heel counter.

The TPU caging at the back looks like hard plastic but when we gave it a push and squeeze in a manual test, it gave in just like that.

Thus, the heel counter also got a pretty low stiffness score of 2.

But the good news is that it doesn't feel floppy at all. We experienced a nice hold around our heels and ankles which didn't allow undue shifting or sliding inside the shoe.

It just didn't hold the foot in place as securely as the more rigid heel counters do.

Flexibility / Stiffness

The Vomero 5 never made us feel restricted and moved seamlessly with our feet throughout the wear test.

When we measured how much force it takes to bend this Nike sneaker to a 30-degree angle, we got a below-average reading of 11.4N. That makes it even more flexible than most other lifestyle trainers.

Weight

To our delight, the Vomero 5 turned out to be even lighter than it seems.

Tipping the scale at 11.1 oz (316g), it is about 3 oz (85g) lighter than average. It is also lighter than such popular Nike kicks as the jordan cool grey 11 and the Dunk Low.

Breathability

If you are in search of an airy summer sneaker, the Vomero 5 is right up your alley!

Its ultra-thin mesh with extra wide chain links makes the shoe a really cool option (both literally and figuratively).

On foot, the Vomero 5 never allowed the heat to build up and we could even feel a cool breeze on our toes in the evenings.

You can see how amazingly thin and transparent the shoe's fabric is as we hover it over the bright light.

Nike lace locks nike sb for sale on ebay shoes Breathability microscope test

Exploring the shoe's mesh closer through a microscope, we saw super thin threads that formed a very porous material.

On a scale from 1 to 5, where 5 is the most breathable, this is what a solid 5 looks like!

Durability

Leather/Suede quality

In the midfoot, this Nike sneaker features a TPU cage with a Swoosh logo. We quickly found that it was not real leather as the material melted instantly under the fire.

Some colorways of the Vomero 5 also feature thin suede overlays throughout the upper. But in our Vast Grey version, these overlays are made of TecTuff.

TecTuff is a polyurethane finish that greatly enhances the base material's abrasion resistance.

Looks like the sneaker uses real leather or suede beneath the TecTuff because it resisted our butane torch and leather scratch owl like genuine material would.

Toebox durability

Despite its highly durable overlays, the Nike Vomero 5 still has a lot of exposed mesh panels throughout the upper. Especially in the toebox.

You can see how extremely delicate this material is in our microscope check above.

A mere touch of our Dremel left a large glaring hole in the shoe's mesh. Be careful not to slash this sneaker against the ground!

Nike lace locks nike sb for sale on ebay shoes Toebox durability comparison

Nike sacrificed a good deal of protection to keep the Vomero 5 as well-ventilated as it is. So if you are someone who blows through their kicks fast, we advise choosing a more reinforced sneaker instead.

The nike roshe run drawing easy, for example, has excellent upper durability that doesn't compromise breathability.

Heel padding durability

On the upside, the inner lining of the Vomero 5 promises a very long life. Made of soft nylon fabric, it seems to be completely unbothered by our Dremel!

After 4 seconds of drilling it with sandpaper at 5K RPM speed, the fabric didn't even show a scratch!

Outsole hardness

Nike uses targeted BRS1000 rubber instead of a full-length outsole to protect the high-wear areas on the Vomero 5. It helps to shave some weight off the shoe.

Nike lace locks nike sb for sale on ebay shoes BRS1000 rubber

Pressing our durometer against the rubber showed that it is indeed a very hard compound. At 85.5 HC, it is a bit harder than the average. This is often an indicator of higher abrasion resistance.

All things considered, we expect the Nike Vomero 5 to last much longer than your typical pair of kicks.

Its mesh panels will most likely be the first bits to tear up but if you can prevent that, it will take months of regular use before you need to upgrade your kicks.

The origins of the Nike lace locks nike sb for sale on ebay shoes

The Vomero 5 first came to prominence over a decade ago, in 2011.

Back then, it was part of Nike's popular series of running shoes which is now on its 17th edition! With the rapid evolution of running footwear, the Vomero 5 became obsolete as a performance shoe but remained comfortable enough for day-to-day wear.

Over the years, Nike attempted to reintroduce the silhouette a few times.

First, the brand collaborated with A-COLD-WALL to give the Vomero a futuristic (and polarising) twist in 2018. The shoe received a humongous blocky heel counter which didn't appeal to everyone but certainly drew attention to the sneaker.

Another wave of interest in the Vomero emerged in 2019 after it was spotted on Drake himself.

nike zoom vomero 5 background 21509470 main

But it wasn't until September 2022 that the Vomero 5 gained traction as a nostalgic Y2K era-inspired kick in its first Oatmeal colorway.

Viewed as Nike's response to the dad shoe obsession, the Vomero finally took some market share from New Balance. Interestingly enough, the kick has a striking resemblance to the nike jordan wholesale usa jewelry collection sale kick.
