Dubbed the Free Rift Sandal, this new design fell closer to the sandal end of the spectrum than its predecessor. The textile upper and rubber outsole of the original gave way to TPU cages and Phylon midsoles. Nike Free technology, a concept trail blazed by the original Air Rift, completed the package to create the ultimate protective and flexible sneaker/sandal hybrid. Originally developed as protective training footwear for volleyball athletes, the Free Rift Sandal featured hexagonal flex grooves to achieve a natural and barefoot feel. The one-piece TPU upper was originally meant to cooperate with an interchangeable midsole but ultimately the two components were fused together. As a final nod to the original Air Rift, topographic details were added to the upper, referencing the Rift Valley in Kenya - the original inspiration for the OG 90s silhouette. This ACG model, adds a layer of luxe with a leather lining and insole as well as a marbled effect throughout the TPU. Some say this is the ultimate Rift. Worn once.
