The Nike Air Rift, first released in 1995, is a classic model inspired by traditional Japanese split-toe footwear (tabi). Its name comes from Kenya's Rift Valley, drawing inspiration from the barefoot running style of local long-distance runners and the dramatic landscape of the Great Rift Valley. This kids' version features a unique split-toe upper with two adjustable hook-and-loop straps for a customizable and secure fit, offering comfort and stability.
