Nike Air Rift

There are some Nike shoes that are Iconic. The Nike Air Rift Trainers are one of those shoes. These are by far, one of the most popular sneakers in the history of Nike.

These shoes were originally made for Kenyan Runners in 1995, who were looking for a shoe that was similar to their barefoot running style. The Kenyan inspiration can be seen in the original colorway of the shoe. The black, red and green were all represented in the Kenyan flag. These shoes were as popular now as they were then. Over the past couple of years, this has become one of Nike's bestselling shoe in history.

The Nike Air Rift features a unique split-toe design. In looking on the sneaker, it almost looks like a person's foot.  The shoe conforms to the feet and provides unmatched comfort.

The shoe features a breathable synthetic stretch-fit mesh upper, which is very soft and breathable. The split-toe design makes it comfortable and perfect for everyday wear. There is sculpted Phylon midsole that will provide cushioned comfort all day long. There are hook and loop closures at the back to provide a secure fit. At the bottom is a lightweight and flexible rubber outsole, which provides some really good flexibility and comfort.

Back in 2000, a Brazilian football edition was released by Nike in Japan. There was a Puerto Rico edition that was released in 2001. In 2002 a midcut version of the Nike Air Rift was released. 2003 saw the release of a specially designed Rift by Halle Berry.

One thing I can say about the Nike Air Rift Trainers is that these are some of the most comfortable shoes I have ever worn in my life. A lot of people tend to exaggerate when writing reviews, however I can definitely say that these are the real deal.

I purchased the Rifts because I needed some nice walking shoes. Many of my friends would talk about some of the really good walking shoes they have owned in their lives. In the conversation, the Nike Air Rift kept coming up time and time again. I decided to check online to see what was available. Zappos.com carried some really nice colors and the prices were quite alright, so I decided to get myself a pair.

When I opened the box for the first time, I realized that these were some pretty funky and stylish shoes. I loved the split toe look and the design was different from any other walking sneaker out there. With looks aside, I decided to try these cool shoes on. Immediately I could understand why my friends loved these shoes so much. They were COM-FOR-TA-BLE!!!!! Wow, I had never experienced shoes like this in my life. They were really light-weight and it at times felt as if I was walking barefoot. I also loved the fact that there were no shoelaces to worry about. Just simple strap up and go.

I wear the Nike Air Rift Trainers just about everywhere. I bought them originally to walk in; however, I realize that these are too comfortable. These shoes need to be worn anywhere I go. I love them so much that I plan on getting another pair. These shoes are really that good. For anyone who is looking or some nice looking and comfortable sneakers, then the Nike Rift is it.

It seems as if Halle Berry's favorite running sneaker is the Nike Air Rift Trainer. She has been photographed countless times, wearing various colorways of this iconic sneaker.

The obsession with Halle Berry and Nike Air Rifts does not stop there.  In 2003 for the Nike Artist Series, Halle Berry helped in the design of her special edition Rift. There were only 1000 ever made, so these are rare and hard to find.

Halle Berry is on the little secret about these shoes. #1 They are absolutely FABULOUS. #2 They are SUPER DUPER COMFORTABLE. #3 They are really really STYLISH. #4 They look good with just about ANYTHING. #5 Once you own a pair, it is hard to GET ANYTHING ELSE.

In my opinion, the best place to get discount and low priced Nike Air Rift Trainers is on the internet. The internet has a really nice selection of colors and their prices are some of the best found anywhere.

One thing about purchasing from the internet is that they have a lot of fake shoes being passed off as the real thing. It can be hard trying to find out what is real and what is not, without actually seeing the sneaker being purchased. This is why it is important to buy from reputable websites. 2 of the best online stores for Nike Air Rifts are Zappos.com and Amazon.com

Zappos - People who are looking for cheap Nike Air Rifts, should check out Zappos.com. This internet shoe retailer has one of the best color selections anywhere. They also have all different sizes in stock. One amazing thing about Zappos is the fact that they offer FREE SHIPPING on anything purchased from the site. Let's say you bought a Rift and it is a size too small, you can also return it back to them free of cost. Check them out if you want some nice looking Rifts

Amazon - Is the leader of online stores. They have a pretty good selection of Nike Air Rift Trainers.  They carry some colorways that are not available on Zappos. The disadvantage with Amazon.com is the fact that despite having a nice selection of different colors, they sometimes might not have the size.

Amazon will sometimes have FREE SHIPPING, depending on the shoe that is purchased. They also carry sizes for men, so this is definitely a plus.
