Here’s Why You Need the Nike V5 RNR in Your Collection

Everyone loves the Zoom Vomero 5. In fact, even though it’s been around since 2010, it’s still considered by many to be the greatest sneaker of all-time. And you know what? While that may sound a little far fetched to some, we’re honestly not that surprised.

You see, the Zoom Vomero 5 is incredibly comfortable. You can wear it for a full day straight with no dramas, and thanks to the Cushlon midsole underfoot that’s infused with Zoom tech, it feels like you’re walking on a pair of plump clouds. It also boasts an incredible design that’s inspired by old school running shoes.

But if we really had to fault it, it isn’t the cheapest shoe in the world. Starting from £145, that can really rack up if you wanted two or three (or four) colourways in your collection. Collaborative pairs from the likes of A-COLD-WALL* and Doernbecher are even more expensive, and that can be a shame for fans who really like the Y2K aesthetic.

Luckily for you, Nike has just taken the wraps off the all-new Nike V5 RNR. And if you’re ballin’ on a budget and you’re looking for the ultimate Vomero alternative, this is exactly what you need in your life. Introduced in four colourways, it works on top of a breathable mesh base and is overlaid by panels and panels of synthetic leather throughout for a true retro aesthetic.

The collar and tongue have both been beefed up with extra cushioning and the foam midsole has been designed from the ground up for insane levels of comfort. It’s also lined with a grippy rubber outsole to keep you on your feet, and it’s finished off with a 3D Swoosh that elegantly glides across the lateral and medial sidewalls. Some pairs are even accented with reflective detailing so you can flex your kicks even in low-light conditions.

All of this, and we haven’t even mentioned the best part yet. You can get the Nike V5 RNR right now for just under £80. That’s almost half the price of a Zoom Vomero 5, which is absolutely insane when you think about it. Let us know which colourway you ended up going for, and be sure to keep it locked at Captain Creps for your best chance to secure your size!
