The Nike Zoom Vomero 5 drops a Sail/Barely Green colorway, swapping leather for translucent TPU layering to channel Y2K jelly shoe energy. Expected to launch Fall/Winter 2026.

The Vomero 5 has long carried the "dad shoe" label — chunky soles, complex layering, and a play-it-safe color palette. But this new Sail/Barely Green version is here to flip that narrative.

This shoe belongs to a broader translucent pack that also includes the P-6000. The biggest design shift here is swapping the usual leather overlays for glossy tinted TPU panels — that candy-like translucency instantly pulls you back to the jelly shoe era of the early 2000s. Instead of building depth through mesh and suede layering, the upper now stacks visual complexity through transparent cage layers — the construction is just as intricate, but it reads nothing like "old school dad shoe" anymore.

Sail mesh forms the base, while the side cage and mudguard are wrapped in translucent Barely Green TPU. A pop of Pink on the insole stands out against the overall look, offering the shoe's only high-saturation detail.

The tech setup sticks with the Vomero 5's signature comfort foundation: dual-density foam midsole, Zoom Air units in both the forefoot and heel, plus the iconic plastic midfoot shank for torsional support. In other words, no matter how bold the exterior gets, the shoe's core ride comfort remains untouched.

The Nike Zoom Vomero 5 Sail/Barely Green is expected to release in Fall/Winter 2026, with pricing and exact release date yet to be announced.
