A winterized upgrade for one of Nike’s most popular lifestyle sneakers is set for a comeback just as temperatures begin to fall.
The Nike Zoom Vomero Roam is set to return this holiday season, with a new Sail/Gum Light Brown/Racer Blue/Light Stone colorway previewed here. The upcoming colorway combines a tan Light Stone ripstop and suede upper with a Sail rubber mudguard, Gum Light Brown-colored outsole and a Racer Blue insole for a neutral look that hides a singular pop of color within.
The Zoom Vomero Roam is a winter-ready version of Nike’s Zoom Vomero 5. Equipped for wet city weather but just as suitable for the trails, the Roam version of the sneaker turns the traditionally breathable retro running shoe into a tank-like all-weather option. Its water-repellant treated layered upper is designed to keep liquid and debris from getting inside, while a rubberized mudguard panel wraps the bottom half of the shoe for protection.
