It's not easy to make a sneaker that's both decidedly dense and considerably chic. But naturally, Nike makes it look like light work.

The Nike Vomero Plus shoe is already one of the Swoosh's finest running sneakers, both in terms of looks and functionality. But Nike just turned things up a notch with a textural upgrade that turns the literally elevated runner into a sleek stunner. 

The Vomero Plus’s mesh upper is made with breathable yarn that keeps things breezy. Perhaps the most significant contributor to the Nike Vomero Plus sneaker's glowingly chic makeover, though, is the reflective paneling that gives the shoe some tangible shine.

Sure, it serves a functional purpose, keeping wearers visible during late-night runs, but it also gives the sneaker a tangible shine. Talk about a glow up.

Available on the Nike website for $180, this Vomero Plus also features an upgrade to signature lifted outsole.

Now, it wears chrome-like web detailing that morphs around peaks of black paneling, giving the sneaker a futuristic lava-lamp-like edge.

The Nike Vomero Plus has lived many lives as far as the shoe’s colorways go. From the crispest of crisp whites to sparkly blue stunners, the Vomero Plus's style factor has never been up for debate. But if there was any speculation out there, the reflective Vomero Plus puts all of that to bed.
