How Does the Nike Zoom Vomero Plus Stack Up Against HOKA?

The legendary Vomero line has long been Nike‘s answer for runners who crave plush cushioning without compromising support. Now, the Nike Zoom Vomero Plus ups the ante. Slotted in above the Vomero 18, this new silhouette takes aim at maximum comfort– and it’s hard to ignore the comparisons to HOKA’s high-stacked favourites.

It’s all about ZoomX here. Nike’s lightest and most responsive foam runs full-length through the midsole, delivering serious energy return with each step. The added height in the stack suggests more bounce than the Vomero 18, while the soft landings remain intact. There’s no official word on whether ReactX makes an appearance in the mix, but early pairs show a thicker base that means business.

The upper features engineered mesh with just the right amount of stretch. It hugs the foot while allowing airflow where it’s needed most. Nike’s signature rocker design starts with a noticeably curved toe box, guiding a smooth heel-to-toe transition. It’s a subtle shift that feels natural the moment you move. Underfoot, a layer of durable high-abrasion rubber grips pavement with ease – built for long runs and repeat wears.

With the Vomero Plus, Nike’s not chasing trends. They’re offering a performance trainer that quietly competes with the most cushioned shoes on the market. Whether you’re chasing a PB or just want your daily miles to feel lighter, this one’s designed to take the pressure off. Let us know if you’ll be adding these to your rotation, and be sure to keep it locked for your best chance to secure your size!
