Nike is repositioning the Air Rift with “Luxury Leather” that lean more lifestyle than training.

This premium Air Rift replaces mesh with polished leather in Black, Fir Green, and Velvet Brown. The shift gives the barefoot runner a sharper identity while keeping its unmistakable silhouette intact.

Nike has updated the materials without disturbing the formula that made the Air Rift culturally relevant. Tonal stitching and padded interiors add structure, yet flexibility and natural movement remain central. Compared to earlier textile editions, this version feels better suited for modern lifestyle wear. That balance between function and polish makes the pack especially versatile.

Rather than chasing trend cycles, Nike is reworking a heritage design with restraint and purpose. The upgrade feels intentional, not cosmetic, and it broadens where the model fits today.
