Even the most dedicated fans of the OG Nike Air Rift would have to allow that Kim Kardashian’s NikeSKIMS partnership marks the silhouette’s most visible moment. Yet that frontline spotlight is really just the manifestation of a variety of on-trend embraces that Beaverton has brought to the Alpha Project product in the year-plus preceding.

Animalistic, furry, and snakeskin applications precede the shoe at hand, a Nike Air Rift kitted in white and black polka dots comes to light. With its slim-soled construction aligning well with the women’s footwear category, it’s only natural that these personality-filled colorways continue to trickle out, with this two-toned pair honestly registering as a rather reigned-in one compared to what we’ve seen so far.

The Nike Air Rift “Polka Dot” has started appearing on calendars at Asian retailers; a stateside drop is likely in the works. Catch official images below and keep our Sneaker Release Dates page within reach to be the first to know when we spot these in the US.
