The Nike Air Rift “Black Swan” pirouettes back into the spotlight with a shadowy twist and some unexpected flair. Ditching the usual streetwear expectations, this split-toe sneaker now moonlights as a fashion-forward ballerina—yes, with satin ribbons and all.
Dressed in a stealthy all-black outfit, this moody makeover keeps the original Rift vibes alive. A snug nylon upper and velcro leather straps offer comfort, while the tabi-style toe adds that signature edge. But the real star? Long, removable ribbons.
The outsole stays rugged, with textured traction to keep you grounded whether you’re walking the dog or walking the runway. “AIR” branding keeps it classic, while the minimalist Swoosh gives just enough flair without stealing the spotlight from those silky ankle ties.
Dropping Summer 2025, the Nike Air Rift “Black Swan” is set to hit Nike.com and select retailers for $105 USD.
In short, if ballet-core met streetwear and had a bold, brooding child—it’d be this shoe.
