Was Nike's Lovely Micro-Swoosh Dad Shoe Designed By Cupid?
Sometimes, smaller is better, especially in the case of Nike's pink-a-licious Vomero sneaker, which looks like it was designed by Cupid himself. But Saint Valentine can't take credit for this one. It's all Swoosh, all day.
This Vomero 5 shoe is a new rendition of Nike's Vomero sneaker, which first came out in 2006.
Representing nearly 20 years of Nike history, the Vomero 5's Swoosh is scaled down at the midfoot, but this doesn't make the shoe any less of a regal runner. In fact, the tiny Swoosh actually makes this Vomero 5 sneaker stand out.
See, Nike has done plenty of pinked-out sneakers before. But this tiny Swoosh-having Vomero is a rarity. It's not just the microscopic iteration of Nike's signature logo that makes this Vomero 5 stand out.
Available on the Nike website for $180, this pretty and pink sneaker is a true beauté across the board.
The mini-metal Swoosh sits cutely atop a crepey mesh upper, which is composed of a bunch of tiny tonal Swooshes. So, despite the sizes, this might be one of Nike’s most swooshed-out sneakers. Though,of course, the competition is pretty stiff.
In addition to the creamy branded base, this Vomero 5 is layered with patent leather accents in a sweet medley of reds and pinks that resembles the hue of a heart-shaped box of confections. The only thing these sneakers are actually holding, though, is toes. No nougaty goodness here. Well, hopefully.
Regardless, Nike's Vomero 5 is an ultra-sweet runner built to go beyond Valentine's Day.
