This past weekend, Nike made a strong impression at the 2025 Comrades Expo by introducing an elevated trial experience for its performance running shoe, the Nike Vomero 18. Held ahead of the iconic Comrades Marathon, the Expo brought together runners, supporters and brands that shape the world of endurance sports — and Nike’s presence stood out for all the right reasons.

A Trial Experience That Made an Impact
At a high-profile event like the Comrades Expo, where performance is top of mind, Nike’s trialling experience gave runners the chance to feel the difference before they commit. By giving runners space to test the Vomero 18, Nike highlighted its ongoing commitment to innovation driven by athlete needs. Whether preparing for the ultra or just starting on a fitness journey, the experience created a meaningful touchpoint between the brand and the running community.

Next Stop: Jozi
Following the Comrades Expo, Nike is keeping the energy alive with a series of upcoming community runs in Johannesburg. These runs, hosted in partnership with local running crews, will offer even more people the chance to trial the Vomero 18 in their environments — on their streets and at their pace.
