The Air Rift 2 is coming back for Fall 2026 in Metallic Silver, Vast Grey, and Black, with the updated shape leaning into the model’s open construction and split-toe sole.

Most of the upper is covered in a silver textile with a soft metallic finish. Perforations are scattered across the side panels, and the large openings through the midfoot and heel show off the black mesh layer underneath. Rather than bringing back the straps from the original Air Rift, this version uses a simpler slip-on build.

Black wraps the lower part of the shoe, including the mudguard, toe, heel, lining, and outsole. Small embroidered Swooshes sit near the forefoot, with more branding placed on the vamp tab, sockliners, and molded midsole.

The Vast Grey foam midsole has a sculpted shape that carries into a black rubber outsole with deep flex grooves. The traction splits beneath the forefoot as well, following the tabi-style toe.

The Nike Air Rift 2 “Metallic Silver/Vast Grey” releases in Fall 2026 via Nike.com and select retailers for $125.
