NikeSKIMS Rift Satin “University Red” Design
Satin replaces the mesh upper used on earlier Rifts. The toe still has its split, the sole stays thin, and the front keeps the same adjustable strap as before. NikeSKIMS branding sits on the strap and the insoles. The red pair mixes a couple of shades of red across its panels, which adds contrast without adding more to the design.
A second pair, the “Shadow Brown,” releases alongside it. Support panels in a deeper brown are paired with paler satin that covers the toe, the sides and the ankle area.
How Is the Rift Satin Different From the Standard Rift?
The upper is satin instead of mesh. The split toe, thin sole and adjustable front strap stay the same.
