Nike is releasing the Zoom Vomero 5 in Metallic Gold this summer, bringing a warm seasonal take to one of the brand’s most recognizable running silhouettes from the early 2000s.
Nike built its foundation on running shoes before becoming a dominant force across basketball, football, and lifestyle categories. The brand’s commitment to visible cushioning technology and bold colorways defined much of the athletic shoe landscape for decades. The Zoom Vomero line emerged during a period when chunky runner proportions and experimental color combinations became markers of Y2K sneaker culture.
The Zoom Vomero 5 itself sits within Nike’s running heritage, representing the model’s fifth iteration in a line that prioritized comfort and visible Zoom Air cushioning. The silhouette carries the proportions and design language of early 2000s distance running, with a bulky midsole and layered upper construction that has made it a consistent presence in Nike’s retro rotation. This particular colorway dresses the shoe in Light Orewood Brown, Hemp, Phantom, and Metallic Gold across a cream mesh base, leaning into warm, earthy tones anchored by metallic accents. The combination creates a distinctive seasonal aesthetic while maintaining the shoe’s core chunky proportions and visible cushioning.
The Nike Zoom Vomero 5 Metallic Gold releases this summer through Nike.com and select retail partners at $170. If you want to explore more from Nike’s running archive, check out what other colorways and silhouettes the brand has planned.
