Nike Air Rift Goes Brogue In "Light British Tan"
For now, the Air Rift resurgence continues with yet another mold-breaking in-house style, the model here taking on brogue aesthetic comparable to formalwear.
The Nike Air Rift looks sharper than ever with elegance brought by tumbled leather effects imported from shoe shelfs elsewhere. Pulling apart from its iconic Toe Tab and strap duo with split-toe silhouette, the "Light British Tan" iteration works in rich sophistication approaching perfection for conventional footwear standards.
Design Features
- "Light British Tan" premium leather upper with heritage-inspired brogue detailing
- Intricate serrations and studs for sophisticated aesthetics
- Dual adjustable straps with metal buckles replacing traditional nylon
- Signature split-toe silhouette with Nike Air cushioning
- Toothed and pointed clean rubber outsole
Craftsmanship
The upper is cut from "Light British Tan" leather, complete with custom serrations that enhance the blend of athletic and formal design elements.
Formal Influences
Meticulously placed studs draw their inspiration from traditional brogueing techniques, creating visual harmony between distinct design languages.
Strap Renaissance
Two strap fastenings are rebuilt with metal buckles, advancing the spirit of the original side-to-side layout by elevation to upscale footwear.
