The Nike Air Rift sneaker sits somewhere between a sneaker, a sandal, and a ballet flat — a hybrid that uses a tabi‑style split toe, a Velcro strap, and a lightweight fuzzy upper to create a snug, flexible fit. Nike originally designed it to encourage a more natural stride, using Air cushioning and a traction pattern tested for all‑terrain running.
