Andrew Rizzo Nike’s Since ’72 sneakers honor the hallmarks of the past while embracing the fashion sensibilities of modern day sneakerheads. Given those considerations, the Nike Vomero 5 presents as a great candidate for the design theme’s choosing, fueled by Y2K heritage and currently trending once more alongside other retro Nike runners.
This latest Since ’72 delivery offers a subtle nod to the pre-Nike days, when Blue Ribbon Sports was the name of Phil Knight’s Beaverton athletics brand. Fitting navy blue treatments encompass the cage, Swoosh, and outsole on this pair, while a naturally aged midsole and Since ’72 insole stamp leave no question as to the design inspiration. White mesh sits at the base so as to not overwhelm the look, treated with reflective forefoot detailing and various suede panels to complete the upper construction. Even without Blue Ribbon Sports association, this colorway stands out for its well-executed fusion of vintage treatments and modern-day design cues, sure to draw eyes from Vomero heads.
Fans of this look will be able to get their hands on a pair this summer for an MSRP of $160, the typical mark for current inline Vomero 5s. Until then, enjoy official images below and check out our Sneaker Release Dates page for more.
