WMNS Nike Air Rift "Healing Orange" HM8288-800

The Nike Air Rift returns in a fresh “Healing Orange” finish, ready for the warmer months ahead. First introduced in 1995, this trailblazing silhouette took cues from the barefoot running culture of Kenya and earned cult status in Japan shortly after its debut. Over the years, it’s grown beyond performance and become a regular pick for those who prefer comfort without losing visual edge.

Nike updates the model with lightweight open mesh throughout the upper, swapping out the heavier winter-ready suede from past releases. The result is a breathable, easy-wearing design that suits hot days without feeling too bare. The entire shoe wears a monochrome orange shade that grabs attention without screaming for it.

The signature split-toe design remains intact, offering a barefoot-like feel that still provides structured support underfoot. Adjustable hook-and-loop straps across the heel and midfoot help lock things in without the fuss of laces. Meanwhile, the addition of Air cushioning in the heel gives the shoe bounce and softness with every step.

Striking a rare balance between functionality and offbeat flair, the Air Rift “Healing Orange” doesn’t just revive a 90s icon—it reinforces why it never needed to go away in the first place. Whether heading out for errands, lounging in the sun, or stepping through city streets, it delivers comfort that works on your terms.
