The new Vomero 18 running shoe is supposed to be Nike’s secret weapon — but it’s lost in a minefield of tariffs! With a hefty $150 price tag and a sobering “Made in Vietnam” label, the iconic brand is staring down the barrel of President Trump’s latest trade war!

Nike has been chasing runners back to its brand since the Vomero 18’s launch, but it now faces tumultuous waters. With 130 factories pumping out shoes in Vietnam — which accounts for HALF of its footwear — the company might be heading straight for a profitable disaster!
