Gudulitooo Posted March 3, 2011 Posted March 3, 2011 Hello all, I saw last year in summer a couple of guys wearing the Nike Air Rift sneakers. They looked good in them. Would you wear them also ? Looking at these guys from some distance, they had seem to wear mjs or flat pumps (especially one that was wearing white socks / black sneakers), I was puzzled. Yet when they approached it was clear it was sneakers and that's all. Bye
Maninheels Posted March 3, 2011 Posted March 3, 2011 Absolutely I would. But I am fan of anything Mary Jane style anyway.
Dr. Shoe Posted March 3, 2011 Posted March 3, 2011 That's nothing new. Mine must be at least ten years old and they were available in men's sizes and they have split toes, the only reason I bought them. Ordinarily I wouldn't be caught dead in trainers.

Gudulitooo Posted March 3, 2011 Author Posted March 3, 2011 Yes I learned these shoes were on the market for years. But I had never seen a guy wearing them until last year. And after I spotted the first one, I looked in shoe stores to find a pair without finding anything approaching. Only months later I found a reference on the internet that it was Air Rift sneakers. Seems that they have to be bought from the internet at least in my country, or very rare to find in stores. Do all the models have splitted toes ?
wood&metal Posted March 4, 2011 Posted March 4, 2011 I love my Nikes, but No.. I'll pass... Never frown because you never know who is falling in love with your smile.
Waisted_Giraffe Posted March 4, 2011 Posted March 4, 2011 always seen them as unisex anyway - probably due to the break from the norm by the split toe and the fact there is no heel. have been considering a pair of "female" MJ style sneakers with a low wedge heel for bumming around the house and summer wear.

Heelster Posted March 5, 2011 Posted March 5, 2011 Not likely - - For some reason, sneakers and me don't get along - - never wear them.
Rockpup Posted December 5, 2011 Posted December 5, 2011 I say yes, although my two pairs of Rifts are in the dayglow orange and pink (formerly known as "JimC")
Mike Hinch Posted February 2, 2012 Posted February 2, 2012 That is another thing that is enough removed from fashion boredom to get my interest but when I went to the Nike store and saw the $85 price that really put them low on my priority list. Anyway have started to make my own and that project is coming slowly.
