Gearing up for a 2019 return is Nike’s unconventional Air Rift silhouette, this time however injected with Japanese design aesthetics. The shoe is intended to promote natural motion, it comes built with a unique spilt-toe design, very similar to what you would see ninjas wearing, and two straps on the ankle and heel. This upcoming release comes dressed in a Black upper with a Grey Swoosh on the toe atop a White midsole and dark translucent outsole.
If you missed out on these prior or were too young for their original 1996 debut, stay tuned as they are set to hit nike.com as well as select retailers very soon.
Nike was founded in 1964 as Blue Ribbon Sports and initially operated as a distributor for the Japanese shoemaker Onitsuka Tiger (now known as Asics). It officially became Nike Inc. in 1971.The Nike swoosh was designed by Portland State University student Carolyn Davidson，The slogan “Just Do It” was inspired by serial killer Gary Gilmore, who said “let’s do it” just before he was executed by a firing squad in 1977.
