Nike and SKIMS extend their partnership into footwear with the new Rift Mesh

A new version of the iconic Nike Air Rift.

The collaboration between SKIMS and Nike continues to grow and now makes its move into footwear. Following the positive reception of their first apparel collection, the partnership led by Kim Kardashian introduces a new take on the iconic Nike Air Rift. The design adopts a more relaxed and refined approach.

The NikeSKIMS Rift Mesh retains the distinctive split-toe silhouette that has made the model one of Nike’s most recognisable. However, this edition reinterprets it through a minimalist lens that stays true to SKIMS’ DNA. The result is a shoe designed for everyday wear as well as moments of downtime, moving away from a purely sporty image.

From a technical standpoint, the model stands out for its no-sew construction and a more padded heel, which enhances comfort. The Air Rift’s classic mesh appears here with a cleaner, softer finish, delivering a more refined feel. Branding remains understated, with the NikeSKIMS logo placed on the midfoot strap.

The collection follows SKIMS’ signature palette and is presented in three monochromatic tones: black, dark brown and warm beige. Each pair comes with special packaging and drawstring fabric bags.

The NikeSKIMS Rift Mesh will be released on 26 January, priced at $150. They will be available via Nike SNKRS and SKIMS.
