Nike and SKIMS have launched the NikeSKIMS Rift Mesh, a breathable update to the classic split-toe Air Rift silhouette, as part of their Spring 2026 collection. The shoes come in Velvet Brown, Bone and Black colorways and are available now on the Nike and SKIMS websites. This follows the sold-out Air Rift Satin from the collection's first drop.
The NikeSKIMS collaboration, which debuted in the fall, continues with its Spring 2026 lineup featuring the Rift Mesh. This version of the Air Rift introduces a mesh design for enhanced breathability and a sophisticated look, paired with a single strap. The earth-toned tabi toe appears in Velvet Brown, Bone and Black, making the shoes suitable for minimalist spring styling. Officials from the brand describe it as a modern take on the polarizing split-toe silhouette originally introduced by Nike in 1996, now marking its 30th anniversary with contemporary enhancements. Prior to the Rift Mesh, the partnership released the Air Rift Satin in Drop 1, which drew from balletcore trends and featured a Silt Red shade among others; that model sold out quickly. The Rift Mesh builds on the sporty yet chic aesthetic of the duo's footwear offerings, blending casual and elegant elements. Availability began recently, with the shoes listed on both Nike's and SKIMS' official sites.
