Nike running shoes are some of the best in the business, and at least one of the brand’s shoes usually lands a spot on our annual roundup of the best running shoes for men. Unfortunately, premium styles command premium prices and Nike is no exception. But if you keep an eye on the brand’s sale page, you can sometimes strike gold with great deals on top runners. Right now, the Swoosh has a real gem: You can score a pair of the Vomero 17 for just about $60 off.
The Nike Vomero 17 Running Shoe is on sale for $104, a 35% discount from its normal price of $160. This versatile and well-cushioned running shoe is “simply the best,” according to reviewers, and it’s on sale across all eight colorways listed with a generous size range available from 6 up to 15. With this deal, you have a huge range of choices.

The Vomero 17 is a cushioned workhorse shoe, and it’s a go-to for casual jogs, marathon training, and even everyday walking if you like a plush feel underfoot. The 17th iteration is a major upgrade, as it features a dual-density sole with Nike’s top-tier ZoomX foam layered over EVA-based Cushlon 3.0. Both foams offer a soft ride, but the ZoomX in particular is lightweight and bouncy, giving you a little extra pep in each step (it’s used in Nike’s speedy racing shoes, like the Vaporfly and Alphafly). A revamped mesh upper offers good breathability, and it has plenty of padding for a snug, comfortable fit. On the bottom, Nike’s “waffle-inspired” rubber outsole—a nod to vintage Nike outsoles designed using a waffle iron—provides stellar grip and durability, so you can expect to get lots of miles out of these kicks.
Nike shoppers have overwhelmingly positive things to say about the Vomero 17. “These are my new favorite running shoes,” said one. “The all-around comfort and fit is great.”

“Especially on the treadmill, it gave me extra cushion and spring with every step,” said another. Other shoppers have called them “amazing” and said they have “the perfect amount of cushion to take the blow out of high-impact workouts.”
A decent pair of running shoes will usually set you back $140 or more, so seeing the Nike Vomero 17 available for just $104 is a breath of fresh air. Grab a pair and you’ll have a reliable max-cushion sneaker that you can wear in all kinds of scenarios, whether you’re running or walking. Snag yours while you can, though—these popular shoes are selling fast, and Nike’s generous discount could disappear at any time.
