Nike Vomero Plus Light Bone

Nike's running catalogue has always had a soft end and a sharp end. The sharp end is the racing programme, where ZoomX foam and a full length carbon plate rewrote what a marathon shoe could do. The soft end is where the Vomero lives, the shoe for the miles that build a runner rather than the miles that test one, which is a direct descendant of Bill Bowerman's original complaint in 1964 that American runners deserved something better and lighter than what they were being sold. Vomero Plus takes that cushioned brief and extends it. Light Bone gives the whole thing a pale, sandy neutrality that reads more like a lifestyle shoe than a training log.
