Building on last week's announcement of her Nike collaborations, official images of the Melitta Baumeister x Nike Vomero Premium reveal a striking Total Orange colorway with hand-painted, distressed detailing. It drops April 1 on Melitta Baumeister's website, followed by Nike SNKRS on April 8.
This collaboration fuses Baumeister's avant-garde aesthetic with Nike's Vomero Premium runner. The upper is in vibrant Total Orange (colorway: Total Orange/Hyper Crimson-Orange Chalk-Black, SKU IQ7166-800), featuring heavy black distressing on the quarters, tongue, and overlays for a scorched, crinkled effect. The weathered look continues on the midsole with a burnt motif, complemented by pre-distressed tonal orange laces and a sand-colored sockliner with classic Nike packaging references. Branding highlights enlarged AIR lettering, a bold black Swoosh, and co-branding elements tying into Nike heritage and Baumeister's sculptural style. Retailing at $260 USD, it follows the Pegasus Premium (detailed previously) with the same release schedule.
