Nike Air Rift

“the perfect combo between long walks in Lisbon and still wearing ballet-flats.”

“I know the Air Rift is not for everyone, but I love a tabi look.”

“this is controversial, but if you get it you get it. genuinely this pair of shoes are the most comfortable things i've ever put on my feet — i’ve walked 30k+ steps and absolutely no damage. plus, doesn’t everyone want to feel like a little deer? holy chic-ness.”

“after many, many years of being air + aqua rift curious i bought this pair last feb as a little gift to myself for getting into grad school. who knew they would become an essential part of my maternity wardrobe just a few months later. the only shoe that remained easy enough to bend down and put on my increasingly swollen feet. i bought compression socks to coordinate. a game-time decision to complete my baby shower outfit — for whatever reason i thought i'd be wearing my go-to thong heels until i was literally on my way out the door. what i threw on to the prenatal appointment that ended with being sent up to labor & delivery to be induced and of course home with my beautiful baby boy. nearly 6 months into the gig they're my go-to mom shoe, choosing them over sandals as we've transitioned to summer. at the time they were sold out @ nike so i planned to purchase from net a porter BUT at the last minute found them for 50% off at oneness boutique. manifesting a similar deal for my next pair.”

“random, but i love my pair. tbh don't know where they are since I moved... maybe in search of a new pair”

“My only regret is I played it too safe by getting a black pair. A fun shoe should come in a fun colour, but I digress!”

“Most comfortable shoes I’ve ever had. I CAN GO ANYWHERE! But seriously these are so good. I need every colour pronto!”

“This is a complicated one because of the SKIMS re-issue (not MY Nike Air Rift) but these defined my high school life because of the coolest girl I ever knew— my first idol, who I would have followed anywhere. Lily has been gone for almost twenty years now, but her style— ripped vintage tees with leather pants and huge men’s sneakers, or a 1950s house dress with her Air Rifts, her half-bleached hair tangling down her back, occasionally shearing it all off because she didn’t think about beauty that way— will always be the ultimate.”
