Designed by Kip Buck — who endeavored to create a shoe that simulated the feel of barefoot running — the Nike Air Rift is among one of the brand’s most divisive offerings, splitting opinions for the same reason as Maison Margiela’s Tabi boot: the split toe. And while releases are few compared to that of the Air Jordan 1 and Air Force 1, the Swoosh has continued to support the almost 28-year-old silhouette, recently dressing it up in a camouflaged colorway.
Unlike many of its past appearances — which have, for the most part, avoided patterns — this Nike Air Rift fully indulges, applying a woodland-esque camo across much of the exterior. The rest of the shoe is done up in complement, incorporating white midsoles, gum bottoms, and blacks through the strap, lining, and the edge of almost every panel.
