If Kim Kardashian’s Nike Air Rift is for the Claire Standish’s of the world, this inline style is for the Allison Reynolds’. With eyes on the alternative crowd, Nike’s tabi-toed, open-foot runner has surfaced in a new grunge style featuring some notable hardware tweaks for Summer 2026.

Official images reveal tumbled black leather across the sides and split toe, followed by a smooth leather layer featuring small cutouts closer to the interior. The forefoot and heel straps ditch the usual elastic and velcro setup in favor of a metal belt closure system, complete with a buckle and three metal eyelets.

The Nike Air Rift “Grunge” is due out Summer 2026, meaning sometime between April and June. Check out official images below if you’re considering copping, and hit our Sneaker Release Dates page to browse more upcoming Nikes.
