If you've ever wondered what the fuss is about, or you're about to spend your hard-earned cash on a pair, stay with us. We'll cover what the shoe actually is, how to buy it without getting burned, what it's good (and not so good) at, how it fits into a wardrobe, where it comes from, why it became a modern classic and what Nike has planned next.","Nike Zoom Vomero 5: History, Uses and Buying Guide","published","2026-10-05T16:41:40+00:00","2026-10-06T12:21:05+00:00",[],[],[],{"network":207,"query_params":208,"subid_param":210},"direct",{"utm_source":148,"utm_medium":209},"affiliate","utm_content",[],[],[214,219,223,227,231,235,239,243],{"id":215,"heading":216,"intro":11,"body":217,"image_url":11,"image_alt":11,"image_caption":11,"provenance":218,"ownership":218,"sort_order":13},157,"The Nike Zoom Vomero 5 in a nutshell!","\u003Cp>Picture a running shoe from the early 2010s, built for comfort first and speed second, then give it a second career as the go-to pair for people who care about both looks and cushioning. That's the Nike Zoom Vomero 5 in one sentence. The Nike Vomero 5 is a technical-looking sneaker with a layered upper, a chunky midsole and a slightly space-age attitude, and it has become one of the defining shoes of the retro running wave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Visually, it's all about texture. The upper blends breathable mesh with synthetic overlays, small reflective accents, a ribbed section along the sides and a plastic-like structure around the heel that gives the shoe its sculpted back end. Some versions pile on chrome and metallic finishes, others go for suede or canvas, and the basic mesh version stays the most common. The shoe sits relatively high off the ground, which gives it a confident, slightly bulky stance without crossing into clown territory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Underfoot, the recipe is Cushlon foam combined with Zoom Air. Cushlon is a soft, supportive foam that Nike has used across its Vomero line for years, and the Zoom Air unit, visible at the heel on most pairs, adds a bit of bounce. The outsole is only partly covered in rubber, a classic running trick to keep weight down, and the tread has a waffle-inspired pattern that nods to Nike's long history in the category.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the money side, the standard price in the US is $170. The Roam version, built for wetter and colder days, usually lands around $190, and some special women's editions, like the cow print pair planned for the cold months, climb to $200. It's not a bargain-bin sneaker, but compared with a lot of hyped releases, it feels honest for what you get: a comfortable, durable, widely available pair that you can wear for years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Colorways keep the model fresh. This year has been packed with them: a dark Anthracite Chrome opened the calendar in January, followed by a minimalist Black Cream, a Valentine's Day pair in white and peony pink, a pale Barely Green with silver details, a pink glow edition, a flashy Metallic Gold, a canvas version in Vast Grey and a suede SE pair in Wheat Gold. Coming up, there's a chrome-heavy Gridiron, a restrained Black and Pink Foam for women and a rugged Cave Stone Roam. Whatever your style, odds are one of these will fit it.\u003C\u002Fp>","human",{"id":220,"heading":221,"intro":11,"body":222,"image_url":11,"image_alt":11,"image_caption":11,"provenance":218,"ownership":218,"sort_order":5},158,"Where to find the Nike Zoom Vomero 5 safely?","\u003Cp>A popular shoe attracts fakes, shady listings and pushy resellers. The good news is that the Nike Zoom Vomero 5 is a general release model, so you don't need to fight bots or beg strangers online. Here's how to shop smart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Start with Nike itself. The brand's online store in your country is the most reliable source for every new colorway, and it's also the easiest place to compare versions side by side, with clear photos, material details and style codes. That code, a mix of letters and numbers, is a handy tool: if you spot a pair somewhere else, you can use it to check whether the product is real and officially sold. Nike's own stores, when you have one nearby, are also great for trying sizes, which matters more than people think with this model.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next, look at established retailers. Large sporting goods chains, sneaker boutiques and department stores often carry the Vomero 5, and in many cases they offer promotions or loyalty perks. Stick with names you recognize, and avoid websites you've never heard of that suddenly show every colorway at half price. If an offer feels too good to be true, it usually is.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For sold-out colorways, you may end up looking at resale. If that's your case, pick platforms that authenticate pairs or at least offer buyer protection, and read the seller's reviews before you commit. Ask for photos of the tongue label, the inside of the shoe, the sole and the box, and compare them with an official product page. Pay attention to the stitching, which should be straight and even, to the metallic and reflective parts, which should look sharp rather than smudged, and to the label on the box, which should match the shoe's size and code. Be careful with listings that use stock photos only. A real seller can almost always send you pictures of the actual pair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Don't forget about timing. Because Nike releases so many versions, older colorways often get discounted a few months later. If you're not in a rush, patience can easily save you $30 to $50. And if you have your heart set on a specific pair, keep an eye on restock alerts, since several colorways have come back more than once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few fit tips before you check out. The shoe generally runs true to size, but the mesh and the structure around the toes can feel a bit snug for wider feet, in which case going up half a size is a common fix. For women's pairs, adding 1.5 to your usual men's size gives you the approximate equivalent. Check the return policy before ordering, especially if you can't try the shoe first. A good return policy is the best insurance you can have.\u003C\u002Fp>",{"id":224,"heading":225,"intro":11,"body":226,"image_url":11,"image_alt":11,"image_caption":11,"provenance":218,"ownership":218,"sort_order":25},159,"What are the uses of the Nike Zoom Vomero 5?","\u003Cp>Let's keep it real: the Nike Vomero 5 started life as a running shoe, but that's no longer its main job. Running footwear has changed a lot since 2011, with new foams, carbon plates and rockered shapes that make an older trainer feel dated. So if you're prepping for a marathon, look elsewhere. Nike's current Vomero models, built with more modern cushioning, are a better choice for serious mileage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Where the Nike Zoom Vomero 5 is great is anything that involves being on your feet. City walks, commutes, shopping days, school or university, long shifts, airport marathons, sightseeing trips, you name it. The cushioning is soft enough to take the edge off hard pavement but not so squishy that your feet feel unstable. The breathable upper keeps things cool, and the shape is roomy enough for most feet to stay comfortable for hours. Many people end up reaching for their Vomero 5 on the days they know they'll walk a lot, and that tells you something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Light activity is fine too. A relaxed jog, a casual gym session, a walk with the dog or a weekend hike on easy trails won't hurt the shoe. But think of it as occasional use rather than a training partner. The materials aren't designed for intense, repetitive impact, and the outsole isn't built for rough terrain. If you push it too hard, you'll wear it out quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Weather deserves a mention. The classic mesh version breathes well but soaks up water, so it's best for dry days and warm seasons. If you live in a rainy or cold region, the Roam model is the smarter pick, with extra traction and a tougher upper meant for harsher conditions. It's heavier and less sleek, but it solves the main weakness of the original.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then there's care, which also affects how you can use the shoe. Light colors and suede show dirt quickly, so a soft brush and a bit of mild soap will go a long way. Skip the washing machine, let your pairs dry naturally away from direct heat and consider a protective spray for suede or canvas versions. Rotating between two pairs also helps the cushioning recover and keeps the shoes in better shape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In summary, the Nike Zoom Vomero 5 is a comfort machine for daily life, with enough sporty heritage to handle casual movement. It's best when you ask it to do what it does well, rather than forcing it into a role it wasn't made for.\u003C\u002Fp>",{"id":228,"heading":229,"intro":11,"body":230,"image_url":11,"image_alt":11,"image_caption":11,"provenance":218,"ownership":218,"sort_order":37},160,"Is the Nike Zoom Vomero 5 mainly a lifestyle pair?","\u003Cp>Yes, and there's no shame in that. Today the Vomero 5 lives mostly in the lifestyle world, where its look matters just as much as its comfort. But what makes it interesting is that it never fully lost its functional side. You get a shoe that looks technical and actually feels good, which is rarer than it should be.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Start with the aesthetic. The Vomero 5 draws from a time when running shoes were piled with details: layers of mesh, plastic cages, reflective hits, odd cutouts. That busy, engineered look went out of fashion for a while, then came back with force. The shoe sits comfortably next to other retro runners from brands like Asics, New Balance and Salomon, and it holds its own because its proportions are balanced. It's chunky but not huge, flashy but not aggressive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Styling is where the shoe shows its range. With straight or baggy jeans, it gives a casual outfit a sporty edge. With cargo pants and a technical jacket, it fits right into the gorpcore universe. With tracksuit bottoms, it's pure comfort. Some people even pair it with tailored trousers or a long skirt to add contrast. Because the sole is thick, it balances wide cuts well, and in a fashion moment dominated by loose silhouettes, that's a big advantage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Colors change everything. Black and chrome pairs look sleek and a bit futuristic. Cream, grey and oatmeal tones are easy, calm and match almost anything. Soft greens and pinks bring a lighter mood. Gold and mirror finishes are party shoes, the kind you wear when you want attention. Suede and canvas editions are for people who like a more textured, slightly vintage vibe. This flexibility is one of the reasons people often own more than one pair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There's also a social side to the lifestyle story. The shoe isn't tied to one subculture. You'll spot it on skaters, designers, students, parents, office workers and sneaker collectors. It doesn't scream for attention, yet people recognize it immediately. That kind of quiet familiarity gives it a staying power that louder, trend-driven models often lack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is there a downside? Because it's so common, you might bump into someone wearing the same pair. And its technical styling won't suit people who prefer slim, minimalist sneakers. But if you like a bit of volume and a sporty edge, it's hard to beat.\u003C\u002Fp>",{"id":232,"heading":233,"intro":11,"body":234,"image_url":11,"image_alt":11,"image_caption":11,"provenance":218,"ownership":218,"sort_order":45},161,"The complete history of the Nike Zoom Vomero 5","\u003Cp>The story starts with a category that no longer gets much glory: the cushioned neutral trainer. In the late 2000s and early 2010s, brands competed to make comfortable daily running shoes for people who wanted a smooth ride over a lot of miles. Nike's answer was the Vomero line, updated more or less every year. The fifth edition arrived around 2010 and 2011, depending on whether you count the first release or the broader rollout.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn't a revolution, but it was a very solid shoe. The midfoot was reworked for a better fit and more support. Zoom Air units were placed in both the heel and the forefoot, working with Cushlon foam to produce a comfortable, springy feel. The shoe was also designed to work with Nike's fitness tracking system of that period, which is why it was originally branded with a plus sign. Runners liked it, reviews were positive and then, like so many trainers, it faded as the next version arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During the following years, running shoes shifted dramatically. First came minimalist designs, then thick maximalist midsoles, then carbon plates and super foams. The Vomero 5 slipped into the background, remembered only by people who had run in it or collected old runners. Nike kept the Vomero name going, reaching higher numbers with updated technology, but the fifth chapter remained a bit of trivia.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first spark of renewed interest came in 2018 with an unusual collaboration. The London label A-COLD-WALL*, headed by designer Samuel Ross, took the shoe and added a big blocky piece at the heel, giving it a very architectural look. It divided opinion. Some people found it strange, others thought it was brilliant, but it got the silhouette back into conversations about fashion and sneakers. A year later, in 2019, a famous rapper was seen wearing the Vomero 5, which added another wave of curiosity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even so, Nike didn't go all in right away. The real turning point was September 2022, when the brand reintroduced the shoe in an Oatmeal colorway, now simply named Zoom Vomero 5, since the tracking feature no longer existed. Metallic touches and chrome Swooshes followed, pushing the look toward the early-2010s tech style. Limited runs sold out quickly, which created a sense of scarcity and boosted desire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In 2023, everything clicked. The pandemic years had changed what people wanted from their shoes, putting comfort at the top of the list. The normcore and dad shoe aesthetics had gone mainstream, and the retro running trend was in full swing. Nike expanded the range with more colorways, introduced kids' sizes and launched the Vomero 5 Roam for tougher weather. The company's own messaging even credited the model for helping accelerate the entire retro running movement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From that point on, the Vomero 5 became a regular fixture. Each season brings new colors and materials, and in 2026 the list of drops has been long and varied. What began as an ordinary trainer is now one of Nike's most dependable lifestyle silhouettes, proof that a good design can wait patiently for its moment.\u003C\u002Fp>",{"id":236,"heading":237,"intro":11,"body":238,"image_url":11,"image_alt":11,"image_caption":11,"provenance":218,"ownership":218,"sort_order":22},162,"Why is the Nike Zoom Vomero 5 so iconic?","\u003Cp>Iconic is a big word, so let's earn it. There are several reasons the Nike Zoom Vomero 5 deserves it, and none of them comes down to a single marketing trick.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first is timing. The shoe came back exactly when people were tired of ultra-clean, minimalist sneakers and hungry for something with more character. Comfort had become a priority, technical details were cool again and nostalgia for the 2000s and early 2010s was everywhere. The Vomero 5 happened to fit all of that perfectly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The second is the design itself. It has an unmistakable face. Even from a distance, you can recognize the layered upper, the heel structure and the chunky midsole. A good silhouette is like a good logo: you spot it right away. And unlike some retro designs that look awkward when worn, this one sits well on the foot and works with a wide range of outfits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The third is comfort. Iconic sneakers aren't only about looks. People keep wearing the Vomero 5 because it feels good, and that real-world satisfaction builds loyalty. Plenty of fans say they came for the style and stayed for the cushioning. That combination is powerful, because it turns buyers into repeat customers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fourth is accessibility. The shoe isn't locked behind collaborations or limited drops. You can buy it at a fair price from official channels, in many colorways and sizes, which makes it feel democratic. Anyone can join the club, and that has helped it spread across ages, styles and countries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fifth is variety. Nike has been smart about releasing different versions without changing the core design. There are neutral pairs for everyday wear, shiny ones for statement outfits, suede and canvas editions for a different texture, kids' sizes for families and the Roam for bad weather. The shoe constantly feels new while staying familiar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sixth is credibility. Because the model was a real performance shoe, it carries an authenticity that fashion-only sneakers sometimes lack. The cushioning technology is genuine, the design came from function and the history is real. In a world full of trends, that grounded origin story matters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, there's the cultural ripple effect. The Vomero 5 helped pave the way for the broader retro running boom, and it influenced how other brands approached their archives. When a shoe changes the direction of an entire category, it earns its place in sneaker history. That's more than a trend, that's an icon.\u003C\u002Fp>",{"id":240,"heading":241,"intro":11,"body":242,"image_url":11,"image_alt":11,"image_caption":11,"provenance":218,"ownership":218,"sort_order":60},163,"Nike Zoom Vomero 5: what comes next?","\u003Cp>For the Vomero 5, the road ahead looks busy. Nike clearly has no intention of letting this one cool down, and the rest of 2026 already shows it. A Gridiron pair with heavy chrome, a Black and Pink Foam women's colorway and a Cave Stone Roam model are on the calendar, with prices ranging from $170 to $200. The pattern is likely to continue: a steady flow of colorways, mixing wearable neutrals with bolder experiments.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Materials will keep playing a big role. Suede, canvas, metallic finishes and special prints have all appeared recently, and the brand seems keen to keep exploring. Seasonal ideas, like winter-oriented editions or themed packs, can easily extend the shoe's life without changing its core identity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Collaborations are another possibility. The A-COLD-WALL* project proved that the silhouette is a fantastic canvas for designers, and its structured shape invites reinterpretation. Nothing is confirmed, so this is more of a guess than a promise, but it would make sense for Nike to revisit the idea at some point.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, the Vomero name is expanding on the performance side. The Vomero 18 mixes ReactX and ZoomX foams, the Vomero Plus uses a full-length ZoomX midsole and the Vomero Premium, priced at $230 to $240, sits at the top as an ultra-cushioned option. There's even an NFL series of the Vomero 18 at $160. Nike describes this as part of a wider reinvention of its running range, which means the Vomero family has serious momentum beyond the retro model.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That's good news for the Vomero 5. A strong performance line keeps the name relevant, and the retro model benefits from that halo. Fans of the vintage look can stay with the fifth edition, while people who want modern running technology have newer options.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What are the risks? Trends move fast, and retro runners have enjoyed a very long run. At some point, the market could feel saturated. But the Vomero 5 has a lot going for it, including comfort, availability, style versatility and constant freshness. Even if the hype cools down, it can settle into a long-term role as a classic, much like other retro favorites have done before.\u003C\u002Fp>",{"id":244,"heading":245,"intro":11,"body":246,"image_url":11,"image_alt":11,"image_caption":11,"provenance":218,"ownership":218,"sort_order":65},164,"Sneakers Deal's honest take on the Nike Vomero 5","\u003Cp>Time for our verdict. A quick note first: this is an editorial opinion based on the shoe's specifications, its history, its place in the market and the general feedback from wearers, not a lab test. With that clear, here's where we stand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We like the Nike Vomero 5. Really like it. It's one of the rare cases where the buzz is mostly justified. The design has personality without being exhausting, the comfort is real and the colorway range makes it easy to find something that suits you. It also has a story worth telling, which adds depth that most trend-driven sneakers don't have.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the plus side, the cushioning is excellent for daily wear, the mesh keeps your feet cool in warm weather, the silhouette works with a huge range of outfits and the price, while not tiny, feels fair for what you get. Frequent sales on older colorways make it even easier to justify.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the minus side, it's not a modern running shoe, so serious runners should look at newer Vomero models. The standard mesh isn't friendly to rain or cold. Light colors and suede need regular care. And since the shoe is so popular, you'll see it everywhere, which might bother people who want something rare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who should buy it? Anyone who wants a comfortable, good-looking everyday sneaker and doesn't mind a bit of volume. It's perfect for city life, travel and casual outfits. It's also a smart entry point into the retro running trend if you don't want to pay for a collaboration. Who should skip it? People who dislike chunky shoes, and runners looking for a performance upgrade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If we had to pick favorites, we'd go for the black and chrome pairs for their sleek attitude and the cream or grey versions for easy, everyday elegance. For something bolder, the gold and pink editions are fun, and the suede SE is great if you like texture. Whatever you choose, buy from a trusted source, double-check the size and take care of your pair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Our verdict: the Nike Zoom Vomero 5 isn't just surfing a wave, it has earned its place. It's comfortable, stylish, accessible and rooted in real running history. If you've been hesitating, go for it. Lace them up, wear them hard and enjoy one of the best retro runners around.\u003C\u002Fp>",[],[],[],[251],{"id":252,"anchor_text":67,"context":253,"target_slug":66},59,"Explore more from Nike Sneakers.",[255,256,257,258,259,260,261,262,263,264,265,266,267,268,269,270,271,272,273],{"id":5,"slug":6,"title":7,"type":8,"category":9,"meta_description":10,"hero_image_url":11,"noindex":12,"parent_id":11,"show_in_menu":12,"menu_label":11,"sort_order":13,"published_at":14,"brand_stat":11,"stat_label":11},{"id":16,"slug":17,"title":18,"type":19,"category":20,"meta_description":21,"hero_image_url":11,"noindex":12,"parent_id":22,"show_in_menu":12,"menu_label":11,"sort_order":13,"published_at":23,"brand_stat":11,"stat_label":11},{"id":25,"slug":26,"title":27,"type":28,"category":29,"meta_description":30,"hero_image_url":31,"noindex":12,"parent_id":11,"show_in_menu":32,"menu_label":11,"sort_order":5,"published_at":33,"brand_stat":34,"stat_label":35},{"id":37,"slug":38,"title":39,"type":28,"category":20,"meta_description":40,"hero_image_url":41,"noindex":12,"parent_id":11,"show_in_menu":32,"menu_label":11,"sort_order":25,"published_at":42,"brand_stat":43,"stat_label":35},{"id":45,"slug":46,"title":47,"type":48,"category":20,"meta_description":49,"hero_image_url":50,"noindex":12,"parent_id":37,"show_in_menu":32,"menu_label":11,"sort_order":37,"published_at":11,"brand_stat":51,"stat_label":52},{"id":22,"slug":54,"title":55,"type":48,"category":20,"meta_description":56,"hero_image_url":57,"noindex":12,"parent_id":37,"show_in_menu":32,"menu_label":11,"sort_order":45,"published_at":11,"brand_stat":58,"stat_label":52},{"id":60,"slug":61,"title":62,"type":48,"category":20,"meta_description":11,"hero_image_url":63,"noindex":12,"parent_id":37,"show_in_menu":32,"menu_label":11,"sort_order":22,"published_at":11,"brand_stat":51,"stat_label":52},{"id":65,"slug":66,"title":67,"type":48,"category":20,"meta_description":11,"hero_image_url":68,"noindex":12,"parent_id":37,"show_in_menu":32,"menu_label":11,"sort_order":60,"published_at":11,"brand_stat":69,"stat_label":70},{"id":72,"slug":73,"title":74,"type":48,"category":20,"meta_description":11,"hero_image_url":75,"noindex":12,"parent_id":37,"show_in_menu":32,"menu_label":11,"sort_order":65,"published_at":11,"brand_stat":76,"stat_label":52},{"id":78,"slug":79,"title":80,"type":48,"category":20,"meta_description":11,"hero_image_url":81,"noindex":12,"parent_id":37,"show_in_menu":32,"menu_label":11,"sort_order":72,"published_at":11,"brand_stat":82,"stat_label":83},{"id":85,"slug":86,"title":87,"type":48,"category":29,"meta_description":11,"hero_image_url":88,"noindex":12,"parent_id":25,"show_in_menu":32,"menu_label":11,"sort_order":78,"published_at":11,"brand_stat":69,"stat_label":89},{"id":91,"slug":92,"title":93,"type":48,"category":29,"meta_description":11,"hero_image_url":94,"noindex":12,"parent_id":25,"show_in_menu":32,"menu_label":11,"sort_order":85,"published_at":11,"brand_stat":95,"stat_label":96},{"id":98,"slug":99,"title":100,"type":48,"category":29,"meta_description":11,"hero_image_url":101,"noindex":12,"parent_id":25,"show_in_menu":32,"menu_label":11,"sort_order":91,"published_at":11,"brand_stat":102,"stat_label":103},{"id":105,"slug":106,"title":107,"type":48,"category":29,"meta_description":11,"hero_image_url":108,"noindex":12,"parent_id":25,"show_in_menu":32,"menu_label":11,"sort_order":98,"published_at":11,"brand_stat":109,"stat_label":110},{"id":112,"slug":113,"title":114,"type":19,"category":29,"meta_description":115,"hero_image_url":116,"noindex":12,"parent_id":98,"show_in_menu":12,"menu_label":11,"sort_order":117,"published_at":118,"brand_stat":11,"stat_label":11},{"id":120,"slug":121,"title":122,"type":19,"category":29,"meta_description":123,"hero_image_url":124,"noindex":12,"parent_id":85,"show_in_menu":12,"menu_label":11,"sort_order":117,"published_at":125,"brand_stat":11,"stat_label":11},{"id":127,"slug":128,"title":129,"type":19,"category":29,"meta_description":130,"hero_image_url":131,"noindex":12,"parent_id":91,"show_in_menu":12,"menu_label":11,"sort_order":117,"published_at":132,"brand_stat":11,"stat_label":11},{"id":134,"slug":135,"title":136,"type":19,"category":29,"meta_description":137,"hero_image_url":138,"noindex":12,"parent_id":105,"show_in_menu":12,"menu_label":11,"sort_order":117,"published_at":139,"brand_stat":11,"stat_label":11},{"id":141,"slug":142,"title":143,"type":19,"category":20,"meta_description":144,"hero_image_url":145,"noindex":12,"parent_id":65,"show_in_menu":12,"menu_label":11,"sort_order":117,"published_at":146,"brand_stat":11,"stat_label":11},1791603058917]
