Nike Air Rift

The Nike Air Rift is a distinctive Nike model with a "split" toe, inspired by Kenyan runners and introduced in the 1990s. It looks like a combination of a sneaker and a sandal - it has a lightweight textile or mesh upper, Velcro instead of traditional laces, and a low cut. There's an Air unit in the midsole for comfortable cushioning, and the more open design makes it great for spring and summer. Nowadays, they are mainly worn as lifestyle shoes for the city, often by people who want an original, slightly "fly" fashion look instead of ordinary sneakers. They go well with wide trousers, shorts and skirts.
