Nike has introduced a limited‑edition Ohio State‑themed Vomero 18 running shoe, dressing the silhouette in scarlet red, white and black while emblazoning the Buckeyes’ logo across the upper.
A sneaker that mirrors a season's hopes
The design, unveiled ahead of the 2025 college football campaign, pairs the university’s signature palette with performance‑focused foam technology, signaling a partnership that extends beyond the stadium.
Under head coach Ryan Day, Ohio State is aiming to translate its talent depth into a national championship run after a 2024 season that saw the Buckeyes fall short in the College Football Playoff.
The 2025 schedule promises a gauntlet of marquee matchups, beginning with a September 5 opener against Ball State at Ohio Stadium, followed by a high‑profile road test at Texas on September 12, and a late‑season showdown with Michigan on November 28.
Ticket prices for these events range from $69 for early‑season games to $553 for the Michigan clash, reflecting the demand for seats at the historic Columbus venue.
Beyond the footwear, the Buckeyes’ itinerary includes road trips to Iowa City, Bloomington, Los Angeles and Lincoln, while home games will also feature contests against Illinois, Maryland, Kent State, Oregon and Northwestern.
Ryan Day emphasized that the team possesses 'plenty of talent on both sides of the ball,' hoping to capitalize on the new Nike collaboration as a rallying point for fans and players alike.
