Full details
The Nike Air Rift is an iconic trainer designed for active women who appreciate a blend of heritage style and unconventional performance, featuring a unique split-toe design inspired by barefoot running mechanics.

FAQs
Do I need special socks for Nike Air Rifts?
Yes, it is recommended to use split-toe or 'tabi' style socks to ensure the most comfortable fit.
Can I use these for running?
While inspired by barefoot running, these are designed primarily as lifestyle trainers and are not recommended for high-impact long-distance running.
How do I choose the right size?
The Air Rift generally fits true to size, but the adjustable straps allow for some flexibility in width.
Are they water-resistant?
No, the textile upper is designed for breathability and will absorb water if exposed to rain.
How should I store them?
Store in a cool, dry place and ensure the straps are fastened to maintain their shape.
Troubleshooting
Discomfort between the toes
Ensure you are wearing compatible split-toe socks or verify that no debris has entered the toe partition.

Clean the hook-and-loop fastener surfaces of any lint or dust to restore the original grip strength.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Air Rifts perform well, start by adjusting the midfoot strap until you reach a secure, snug tension. These trainers are most compatible with thin, split-toe socks, which prevent discomfort between the toes. To care for your shoes, spot clean the textile upper with a mild detergent and a damp cloth; avoid machine washing or tumble drying, as the high heat and agitation can degrade the structural integrity of the rubber outsole and the adhesive elements. Air dry them in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight.
