Quick Summary
Nike is bringing back the Air Rift 2 for Summer 2026 in a colorway that leans into the silhouette's naturally airy character. The "Summit White/Swan" build arrives in a four-color palette of Summit White, Swan, Light Silver, and Ice Blue, dressing the refreshed split-toe runner in tones that feel suited for warm-weather wear. The loopless slip-on construction and the recognizable tabi toe remain intact, keeping the shoe closer to sandal than street in the best possible way.
Layers of white textile compose the majority of the upper, with horizontal perforations placed along the side panels to maximize airflow through the lightweight build. Light Silver mesh covers the tongue, collar, heel, and the strip running across the top of the foot, providing a subtle contrast against the predominantly white canvas. Both the tongue and collar are double-layered, adding a quiet structural detail that elevates the otherwise minimal design without adding visual weight.
A tonal soft grey overlay wraps the lower half of the shoe, grounding the palette and reinforcing the understated mood of the overall colorway. Small hits of Ice Blue appear near the forefoot and underfoot, offering just enough contrast to keep the design from reading as entirely monochromatic. A translucent Swan outsole rounds out the build, finishing the shoe in a muted creamy tone that ties the full palette together cleanly.
The Nike Air Rift 2 "Summit White/Swan" is set to release during Summer 2026 via Nike and select retailers. Pricing has not yet been announced. To stay informed on all things Nike and to stay up to date with the latest releases, connect with us on Instagram and Twitter.
