[Update 26 Oct 2023] Mark your calendars for 7 November as we are set to see a release of the Nike Zoom Vomero 5 “Plum Eclipse”! Anticipate its arrival via Nike SNKRS with a retail price tag of US$180.

The Zoom Vomero 5 is Nike’s answer to the dad shoe trend that’s been pervasive as of late. First gaining popularity in 2011, with another surge in 2019–2020.

In the course of the last year, many iterations of the pair have been delivered, with many more to come such as the “Gundam” colorway, in addition to the titular “Plum Eclipse”.

The silhouette sports a tonal brown outfit presiding over its mesh, suede, and leather make. More interestingly, it’s the first that boasts a full 3M reflective surface. The design is finished with the hallmark TPU quarter panels and heel counter, and by the insoles bearing the Bill Bowerman logo. Lest we forget, the signature Zoom Air cushioning.

There’s no firm release date yet but they’re expected to hit stores sometime in the holiday season. Find them on Nike’s brick-and-click then with an RRP of US$160.
