Unlike the Pegasus 37 which has different airbag densities for men’s and women’s versions, the Vomero 15 is only available in a men’s version with the firm airbag. The downside of having such a large Zoom Air unit is that it makes the ride firm. How does the Vomero 15 stack up to the other Vomeros and can it compete with the other max cushioned trainers? Nike Air Zoom Vomero 15 First Impressions Will there ever be another Vomero that comes close to the Vomero 3 when the Vomero series was at its peak? Version 11 came close but its ride wasn’t as engaging. So far, it’s only been launched in a handful of countries in Asia and Europe. Luckily, a couple of weeks later it launched in Singapore and I immediately ordered a pair. The Vomero 15 was first launched in South Korea in November and was a big surprise because there were rumours that the Vomero 15 wasn’t going to be launched due to manufacturing issues. The flagship Nike trainers like the Pegasus and Vomero are normally annual updates but it’s been two years since the Vomero 14 came out. It was also lumpy because when striking the heel, all the air in the full-length Zoom Air unit shifted to the front of the shoe. It felt like a tempo trainer which couldn’t go further than 10km because it didn’t possess enough cushioning. The Vomero is supposed to be one of Nike’s plushest, most cushioned trainers but the 14 had none of that super soft goodness that we’ve come to expect from a Vomero. Not only was it uncomfortable because of its thin, racing-inspired tongue that let through lacing pressure but its forefoot was really firm so it was only suited to heel strikers. The Vomero 14 wasn’t a terrible shoe but for a Vomero, it was a big disappointment for me. The Vomero 14 of 2018 was a completely different shoe to the Vomero 13. Throughout the years, I’ve worn various versions of the Vomero for easy and recovery runs but the Vomero 3 still stands out as my favourite version. It was so smooth, cushioned and springy at the same time I had felt nothing like it before. What do you think of the Nike Air Zoom Total90 Supremacy? Do you remember when it came out, maybe you even had a pair? Feel free to share your thoughts on this boot in the box just below.I can remember my first run in my Vomero 3’s like it was yesterday. NOTE: NIKE WERE KIND ENOUGH TO BORROW US THIS BOOT, THEREFORE IT CANNOT BE BOUGHT. A very cool little twist, that enabled you to customise the boot and show your identity on the pitch. Here, Nike had left a little space for a flag or a number, which a lot of the Nike pro's made use of during the world championships back then. One last little twist was found on the heel cap of the boot. The stud system became very popular, and was, later on, used for Nike's Tiempo series. The stud system was made with conical studs under the forefoot, as well as, two bladed studs under the midfoot. The sole on the Supremacy had been equipped with a large pad with Nike Zoom Air technology, which provided optimal shock absorption and increased comfort over 90 minutes. The Supremacy also continued the tendency of having asymmetric lacing, which we had also seen on the three earlier T90 models, which provided a large and levelled strike area on the instep. The graphic design of the boot was absolutely stunning, and the boots have been made with asymmetric deigns to provide maximal recognition. In addition, the weight of 290g ensured some good power behind your strikes. The boot was designed to provide deadly precision and power, and with a special coating on the upper (actually designed with a lot of decorative crests) provided a good ball grip. Later on, the boot was also produced in a leather version with a Black/Silver/Red colourway. The upper was made from Nike's soft KNG100 micro fibre, which quickly adapted to your foot, as well as, provide a great fit with its rather high midfoot. The mix of comfort, power and precision was some of the abilities the T90 series had been known for, and the Supremacy was able to elegantly carry these on. Towards the end of the 2005/2006 season Rooney broke his metatarsal bone in a match at Stamford Bridge against Chelsea, which created a lot of negative focus surrounding the Supremacy.ĭespite the initial negative focus, the Supremacy managed to get back and become very popular among Nike's professional players. These boots would show to be a pair of Supremacy's, that Rooney took great part in the development of. The boot first saw the light of day in the beginning of 2006, as Rooney, all of a sudden, had changed his Air Zoom Total 90 III with a pair of, back then, unknown boots. Later on the boot has been celebrated as an excellent power boot. The boot became famous when Wayne Rooney broke his foot in his very first match wearing this boot. This weeks memory lane is dedicated to a classic Nike boot from 2006, the Nike T90 Supremacy Blue/Silver/White.
