Product Information
Full details
The Nike Air Rift is designed for adults seeking a unique, barefoot-like experience inspired by Kenyan distance runners. Its key benefit is the combination of comfort, grip, and a distinctive tabi-toe design for a modern lifestyle. A potential caveat is the unconventional split-toe, which may require adjustment for some users. Key features include a synthetic neoprene upper, adjustable hook-and-loop straps, Nike Air cushioning, and rubber outsoles.

FAQs
How do I determine my size?
Refer to the Nike sizing chart for accurate measurements. This specific variant is for UK adult size 3.5.
Can I wear these with regular socks?
You can wear them with regular socks, but they are designed to be worn barefoot or with tabi socks (split-toe socks) to fully appreciate the design.
Are these suitable for running?
While inspired by runners, the Air Rift is primarily a lifestyle shoe and not designed for serious running. It lacks the support and cushioning needed for athletic training.
What is the material of the upper?
The upper is made from a synthetic neoprene material.
How should I clean the neoprene upper?
Use a damp cloth with mild soap if necessary, and air dry. Avoid machine washing or drying.
What does 'tabi-toe' mean?
Tabi-toe refers to the split-toe design, inspired by Japanese tabi footwear, which separates the big toe from the other toes.
Troubleshooting
Straps not holding securely
Ensure the hook-and-loop surfaces are clean and free from debris. Re-secure the straps firmly.
Discomfort with tabi-toe
Wear with tabi socks or allow for a break-in period. Ensure the fit is not too tight, which can exacerbate initial discomfort.
Slipping on wet surfaces
The rubber outsole provides grip, but exercise caution on extremely wet or smooth surfaces as with any footwear.
