Nike is bringing college football colors to the Vomero 18 with a large NCAA collection built around official school palettes and team logos. The Nike Vomero 18 NCAA Collection has already surfaced in 23 versions, all using the same cushioned running setup as the standard release.

Schools in the early lineup include Michigan, Michigan State, Ohio State, Alabama, Auburn, Georgia, LSU, Oregon, USC, Texas, Oklahoma, North Carolina, Clemson, Miami, Kentucky, Purdue, Virginia Tech, Baylor, Arkansas, Arizona, and West Virginia. Nike is also preparing a separate NFL-themed Vomero 18 series around the same time.

The shoe itself stays mostly unchanged. Mesh covers the upper, layered Swooshes run across the sides, and the oversized midsole keeps the Vomero 18’s ZoomX cushioning underfoot.

Most of the changes come through the color blocking. School colors appear across the mesh, overlays, lining, heel, and sole, while a small team logo near the lateral heel gives each pair its own identity without making the design feel overloaded.

College sneakers usually show up on retro basketball models or familiar lifestyle pairs, so using the Vomero 18 gives this collection a different angle. It fits the current shift toward cushioned running shoes that people wear well beyond actual training, whether that means campus, travel, workouts, or game day.

More schools could still be added before the full rollout. Each pair from the Nike Vomero 18 NCAA Collection will retail for $165, with release dates and retailer details still to come.
