Women’s lifestyle sneakers continue to shift to even slimmer and lower-profile proportions, with some even adopting the high-fashion Tabi-toe. Nike’s here to remind you that the Air Rift did it first.

Debuting back in 1995 referencing the Great Rift Valley in Kenya, this breathable running shoe became a cult smash in Japan, particularly among women. That’s the foundation of the Air Rift’s legacy, one that continues to influence fashionistas of the modern day.

Nike made quite the effort to bring back this iconic sportswear model in 2024, delivering premium suede uppers that could withhold the colder climates. Understanding it’s limitations, Nike is focusing back to the warmer months with this more breathable open mesh style applied with a monochromatic “Healing Orange”.

More colorways of this Air Rift style are confirmed to launch early Summer 2025 for $140.
