The Nike Vomero Plus SE “Volt Ekiden Pack” brings loud colour, racing heritage, and serious comfort together in one sharp package. The bright volt mesh upper stands out instantly. Wavy lines run across the surface, giving the shoe movement even when you’re standing still. A bold synthetic Swoosh anchors the sidewalls, while a small printed Swoosh sits at the toe for an extra hit of detail.
Look closer and you’ll spot the nods to the Hakone Ekiden race. Japanese kanji appears on the tongue, pull tab, and sockliner, tying the shoe back to one of Japan’s most beloved long-distance events. It’s a small touch, but it adds weight to the story and gives the pair a cultural edge that runners and collectors can appreciate.
Underfoot, the Vomero Plus goes big. The heel reaches around 45mm and the forefoot sits near 35mm, creating a huge platform packed with full-length ZoomX foam. The ride feels soft, springy, and surprisingly smooth during everyday runs. It absorbs shock well and helps you push forward with less effort. The engineered mesh upper keeps things cool, letting air pass through easily on longer sessions.
The outsole uses waffle-inspired traction. It grips well on wet and dry roads, which keeps the shoe steady no matter where your miles take you. The whole package feels comfortable enough for daily training but bold enough for anyone who likes their running shoes to stand out.
