Retro Jordan Nike Rift - OG Colorways

Nike Air Rift

The Nike Air Rift originally released in 1995. As the axiom states, “necessity is the mother of invention.” In the case of the Air Rift, Kenyan runners felt a necessity for a shoe that would better emulate the barefoot running to which they were accustomed. Nike took this need and utilized it to mold a split toe design with an ergonomic sole and low profile neoprene sock liner.

If you will now fast forward to the present, Nike has re-released the Air Rift as a retro product.  Furthermore, and likely to the satisfaction of OG sneakerheads, these Air Rift retros are offered in two original colorways: purple/yellow and black/white-green. Flip the post to see photos of both colorways. Then hit hanon if an acquisition is now your necessity.
