Nike Zoom Vomero Roam "Obsidian" Winterized Sneaker

Nike has added a new colorway to its Zoom Vomero Roam: "Obsidian," a two-tone pairing of navy and grey. The winterized low-top went on sale on Nike.com on October 16 and retails for $190.

The shoe is built for city weather. Its upper layers textile and mesh for a breathable, comfortable fit, while rubber mudguards guard against dirt and puddle splash. The lace toggle is easy to adjust and has a hook to keep it in place, and pull tabs and reflective details round out the practical touches.

Underfoot, a chunky foam midsole carries Nike Air Zoom units for all-day cushioning. The outsole uses HART (High Abrasion Rubber Tech), which Nike says uses less rubber compound than its other XDR technologies without giving up durability or abrasion resistance, making it lighter and more flexible.

For a New York winter, the appeal is straightforward: a visibly cushioned, substantial sneaker that handles wet pavements and slush, in a restrained navy-and-grey palette that pairs easily with workwear and weekend clothes alike.

The Obsidian pair is sold online at Nike.com. Nike Members get free standard shipping on orders of $50 or more and free 60-day returns, with return policy exclusions applying.
