The shoe’s upper is constructed using a breathable mesh material and features an ‘Anthracite’ color scheme, which is basically monotone grey with darker shade overlays. It has a cushioned midsole, which utilizes Nike's Zoom Air technology - consisting of strategically placed Zoom Air units in the forefoot and heel, while the outsole is made from rubber with a multi-directional traction pattern. Some of the retro design elements showcased on the shoe include a chunky silhouette, oversized Swoosh logos on the sides, and unique lace loops. It also has branding details such as Air Zoom branding on the outer midsole, another Swoosh on the heel tab, and the Nike logo on the tongue with a Vomero label.
The Nike Zoom Vomero 5 Anthracite was first released for retail on February 1, 2019 - priced at $160.
