For me, it was very apparent, for Meaghan, not so much. Under the forefoot, the Articulated Air Zoom unit is noticeable and gives the toe-off some zesty kick. It sits close to your foot, providing a light, soft feeling with some dynamic pop underfoot. If you’re not familiar with ZoomX, it’s the same foam used in Nike’s elite racing shoes, the Vaporfly and Alphafly (and also the Nike Invincible). ZoomX is used as a top layer of the cushioning package. The area in which the Vomero 16 shines is in the midsole. The padding in the tongue and ankle collar is ample.

Think loveable uncle that is slightly different from your pops, who that daily fixture in your life over the last 38 years (i.e.
