Nike just dropped the USC-themed Vomero 18 running shoes, hitting the market as head coach Lincoln Riley charges into a crucial year for the program. The Trojans are looking to break into Big Ten title contention, and you know they’ll need every edge they can get.
Jayden Maiava’s Squad Is Geared Up for Battle
This isn’t just about fresh footwear, though. USC went 9-4 last season, but ended things on a seriously tough note, losing to TCU in overtime at the Alamo Bowl. Ouch. This year, returning star quarterback Jayden Maiava is gonna give that offense a big jolt. And the defense? It’s getting bolstered by transfers like defensive end Zuriah Fisher and cornerback Carrington Pierce. These guys could be the difference makers, turning that defense into something special for the Big Ten run.
And yeah, those new Vomero 18s? They scream team spirit. They’ve got a prominent red color, naturally, with crisp white and black accents. The white foam sole and black back design look sharp. Plus, the Trojans logo is plastered right on both sides, so there’s no mistaking who you’re rooting for. Pure fire to rep your team while they’re fighting for a title.
Every Game on the Schedule Is a Must-Watch
Tickets are already out there for every Trojans game this season, from their home turf at LA Memorial Coliseum to those grueling road matchups. You can snag tickets starting at just $28, which is a steal for some of these games, especially when you look at the schedule.
The 2026 season kicks off at home on Saturday, Aug. 29 against San Jose State. After a few more home games against Fresno State and Louisiana, they hit the road on Sept. 19 for Rutgers. Get ready for some absolutely massive clashes later in the season. We’re talking Oregon and Washington at home in late September and early October, then brutal road tests at Penn State, where tickets hit $326, and Wisconsin. Plus, a huge home game against Ohio State on Halloween and the season closer at UCLA. This schedule is no joke.
This season is going to be absolutely wild for USC. With the first game against San Jose State set for August 29th at the LA Memorial Coliseum, everything kicks off with a bang. Every snap, every drive, it all matters as Riley’s squad pushes for that Big Ten title. You won’t want to miss a second of this journey.
