Nike Air Rift Pony Hair - Black/Cool Grey - IO4884 001

The Nike Wmns Air Rift brings one of the most distinctive silhouettes of the Swoosh back to the streets. Debuting in 1996, the Rift was born from the idea of Nike designer Kip Buck, who wanted to capture the feeling of barefoot running – inspired by Kenyan long-distance runners and named after the Great Rift Valley. The split toe, a novelty for Nike at the time, remains the hallmark between sneaker and sandal. This version features pony hair on the upper, giving the Rift a tactile, luxurious direction. The Black / Cool Grey colorway keeps it subdued and clean, with the embroidered Swoosh sitting discreetly, while the Velcro straps at the midfoot and heel remain as functional as ever. The Air Rift has always been a statement for those who run outside the norm. In this pony hair version, the Tabi classic gets a touch of understated luxury without losing its uncompromising character.
