FAQs
How do I clean the Nike Air Rift trainers?
Wipe the leather upper with a damp cloth. For the outsole, use a damp cloth to remove dirt. Allow to air dry away from direct heat.
Can I wear socks with the Air Rift?
Yes, you can wear socks. Specialized split-toe socks are available and work well, or you can wear them sockless if preferred.
What is the main benefit of the split-toe design?
The split-toe design is inspired by barefoot running and aims to allow for more natural toe splay, potentially improving balance and ground feel.
Are these trainers suitable for long-distance running?
These trainers are primarily designed for casual wear and athletic-inspired styling. They may not offer the cushioning or support required for long-distance running.
How do I adjust the fit?
The trainers feature an adjustable hook-and-loop strap across the midfoot that you can tighten or loosen to achieve your desired fit.
What material is the upper made of?
The upper is made of leather, providing a durable and foot-hugging fit.
What does 'Fir Metallic Gold' refer to?
This refers to the colorway of the trainers. 'Fir' is a shade of green, and 'Metallic Gold' is a secondary metallic accent color.
Troubleshooting
Strap not secure
Ensure the hook-and-loop surfaces are clean and free of debris. If the strap is worn, consider professional repair or replacement.
Discomfort with split-toe design
Wear thin, split-toe socks or try wearing the shoes for short periods initially to allow your feet to adjust gradually.
Leather appears dry or stiff
Apply a leather conditioner specifically designed for footwear to rehydrate the material. Test on an inconspicuous area first.
Poor traction on outsole
Clean the rubber outsole thoroughly with a damp cloth to remove accumulated dirt and debris that might be reducing grip.

Care:
- Cleaning the Leather: Wipe the leather upper with a clean, damp cloth to remove dirt and dust. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Suede/Nubuck (if applicable): Use a specialized suede brush to gently remove dry dirt and restore the nap.
- Outsole: Clean the rubber outsole with a damp cloth. Ensure all dirt and debris are removed to maintain traction.
- Drying: Air dry the shoes away from direct heat or sunlight. Stuffing them with paper can help maintain their shape while drying.
