Nike continues to reinvent its iconic split-toe silhouette with an unexpected formal twist.
The Nike Air Rift "Light British Tan" featuring brogue detailing
The latest iteration of the cult-favorite Nike Air Rift
Traditional brogue perforations adorn the toe box and quarter panels, while the signature split-toe design remains intact. The premium tan leather upper is complemented by subtle contrasting stitching and sits atop the familiar Air Rift sole unit that has provided comfort and flexibility since the shoe's original 1996 release. If you think 2025 has been a big year for the Nike Air Rift, just wait 'til 2026. Kim Kardashian's Nike SKIMS is set to release two styles next Spring — a move that will no doubt send her millions of followers into a frenzy and create plenty of noise across the industry. The collaboration with SKIMS represents a significant moment for both brands, merging Nike's technical expertise with Kardashian's influential shapewear line. Industry analysts predict the partnership will introduce the Air Rift to entirely new demographics while reinvigorating interest among sneaker purists. The "Light British Tan" Air Rift is expected to release in limited quantities at select retailers and on Nike's SNKRS app in March 2026, with the SKIMS collaboration following later in the Spring season.2026: The Big Year for Air Rift
