The Nike Zoom Vomero 14, by 0.3 oz in a men's US 9 (10 oz vs 10.3 oz).

Did the price change between the Nike Zoom Vomero 14 and the Vomero 16?

Yes. List price went up $10, from $140 to $150. Street prices differ: the older shoe usually sells under list once its successor ships.

Do the Nike Zoom Vomero 14 and Vomero 16 come in the same widths?

Yes. Both run in D for men's sizes, so a width that fit in the Vomero 14 carries over to the Vomero 16.

How do the stack heights compare?

27 mm heel and 17 mm forefoot on the Nike Zoom Vomero 14, against 33 mm and 23 mm on the Vomero 16. That is 6 mm more under the heel and 6 mm more under the forefoot. See the stack height note in the table above: the published figures changed convention mid-lineage.

Is the Vomero 16 still the newest Vomero?

No. The Vomero 17 replaced it in 2023, so the Vomero 16 now sells as an older model and usually below its $150 list price.
