Vomero 5

The Nike Vomero 5 is available for Men and Women in a large variety of versatile colorways. These are major reasons why they are so in demand. In terms of progression, the Nike Vomero 5 might be the most progressive version of the Nike Vomero. It was the first Vomero to have Nike signature Zoom Air cushioning technology. It originally came equipped with Nike+ capabilities, which linked to your iPod. That connection would track your steps and health progress. When the silhouette debuted in 2011, it was embraced for its tech and innovation. The Nike Vomero 5 is now embraced as a casual shoe, but originally it had far loftier goals.

NIKE, Inc.

In 1971, Nike would become the new name of the company. The winged Greek goddess of victory inspired the name. The iconic Nike Swoosh was also created in 1971. A graphic design student created the world famous logo. The logo was crafted to convey speed and the goddess Nike was its inspiration. The first shoes to feature the Nike Swoosh were the Nike Cleat and the Nike Waffle Racer at the U.S. Track and Field Olympic Trials in Eugene, Oregon.

The first Nike factory location opened in 1984 in Portland, Oregon. This led to the first Niketown opening in 1990, which was also located in Portland. Niketown was able to broaden the storytelling ability of the brand. Consumers could interact with the products in the store, learn more about them, and the athletes that endorsed them. More Niketown locations would quickly follow. Locations that would be placed all over the world. This would strengthen Nike’s status as a global retailer.

In 1996, Nike launched nike.com. The site focused on storytelling initially. It gave site visitors the chance to learn more about Nike’s large list of athletes. Storytelling has always been an important part of Nike’s brand. The storytelling has grown more mythical and epic as time passes on for Nike.

The Nike website got bigger and more unique in 1998 when NikeiD launched. The ability for the consumer to customize their own Nikes was trailblazing at the time. In 1999, the site fully transitioned from an editorial hub to an e-commerce platform.
