Nike took a decisive step in cementing the Zoom Vomero 5 as a key player in its lineup last fall, rolling out the silhouette’s first major evolution—the Nike Zoom Vomero 5 Roam. Designed with outdoor versatility in mind but still rooted in its signature Y2K aesthetic, the model wasn’t just built for rough conditions. Case in point: the newly unveiled Nike Zoom Vomero 5 Roam “Lightning”, which swaps out the muted, weatherproof look of earlier iterations for something decidedly sunnier.

About the Nike Zoom Vomero 5 Roam “Lightning”

Where previous Roam releases featured sleek, waterproof synthetics, the Nike Zoom Vomero 5 Roam “Lightning” returns to the airy, open mesh of the standard Vomero 5. That tweak alone gives the shoe a breezier, more summer-friendly feel, while core design elements—like the reinforced pull-tabs, flattened TPU cage, and wraparound graphic mudguard—keep it tied to the Roam’s rugged DNA.

The bright “Lightning” hues inject fresh energy into the model, but subtle earth-toned accents underfoot ensure it still aligns with the ever-popular gorpcore aesthetic.

Release Details

Expect the Nike Zoom Vomero 5 Roam “Lightning” to land at Nike.com and select retailers soon. While the model typically retails for US$180, it remains to be seen whether the material shift will bring a price adjustment.
