Nike Air Rift "Triple Black" Is the Affordable Alternative to the Maison Margiela Tabi Toe
The cult classic silhouette has returned.
Nike has unveiled its latest colorway of its split-toe staple. Arriving in “Triple Black,” the Nike Air Rift is back for the Fall season. The shoe was originally debuted in 1996 and was the brand’s first shoe that promoted natural motion. The Air Rift was heavily inspired by Kenyan distance runners who often trained barefoot. The shoe has since been a cult classic, offering a silhouette shape that resembles that of the Margiela’s Tabi toe.
The “Triple Black” aesthetic sees the sleek silhouette dressed in an all-black upper down to the straps and the rubber outsole. The shoe sees the Swoosh label on the toes as well as the insole, but the rest of the shoe remains minimal, allowing the silhouette to be the focus of the’90s nostalgic shoe. Take a look above at the Nike Air Rift “Triple Black” above. The shoe is slated to retail for $100 USD and will arrive in select retailers and on Nike in the coming weeks.
