Product Information
Full details
The Nike Air Rift is an ideal choice for adults seeking a distinct, performance-inspired aesthetic combined with everyday comfort. Inspired by the natural movement of long-distance runners, these shoes feature a signature split-toe design and a breathable construction that keeps your feet cool during daily activities. While the unique design offers excellent ventilation and an adjustable fit, users accustomed to traditional footwear may find the split-toe configuration requires a brief adjustment period for maximum comfort.

FAQs
Can I wear these with normal socks?
No, standard socks will not fit due to the split-toe design. You must use split-toe compatible socks or wear them barefoot.
Are these suitable for long-distance running?
While inspired by runners, the Air Rift is designed as a lifestyle shoe. It is best suited for casual walking and daily wear rather than intense athletic training.
How do I clean the hook-and-loop straps?
Keep them clean by removing debris with a brush. If they get muddy, wipe them down with a damp cloth and allow them to air dry.
Does the shoe run true to size?
The Air Rift is generally true to size, but the adjustable straps allow for some variance in fit if you are between sizes.
Can the shoes be submerged in water?
They can handle damp conditions, but it is best to avoid fully submerging them as it may affect the bonding materials and the strength of the straps over time.
Troubleshooting
Straps are losing grip strength
Clean any lint, hair, or debris from the hook-and-loop material using a pair of tweezers or a fine-toothed comb.
Discomfort between the toes
Ensure you are wearing the correct size and consider using a thin split-toe sock to reduce friction.
Outsole collecting dirt
Gently scrub the textured outsole with a soft bristle brush and warm soapy water after outdoor use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Nike Air Rifts, follow these simple maintenance steps:
- Fitting: Adjust the hook-and-loop straps across the midfoot and heel to suit your foot volume. Ensure the split-toe divider sits comfortably between your first and second toes.
- Socks: If you prefer to wear socks, look for "tabi" or split-toe socks, as standard socks will not fit inside the shoe properly.
- Cleaning: Hand wash using a soft brush and mild soap. Avoid machine washing or using harsh chemicals that could degrade the adhesive on the straps.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material discoloration and keep the hook-and-loop fasteners debris-free.
