Nike's towel-like Air Rift sneaker adds a bit of textured royalness to its ever-growing split toe shoe army.

The tabi toe takeover has been the gift that keeps on giving, where weird shoe happenings are concerned, and the Swoosh is doubling down on this initiative by adding another luxe colorway to its Air Rift sneaker arsenal.

Nike's Air Rift sneaker has been experiencing a renaissance of sorts as of late, and the Swoosh has leaned all the way in with various colorways of its split-toe sneaker. But Nike doesn't just stop there.

It's also taken quite a few liberties where the textures are concerned.

This time, Nike has turned a purple Air Rift sneaker into a towel-topped stunner that brings some beachy charm to the freaky sneaker.

This mix of mesh and suede adds some textural depth, while the purple colorway adds a hint of royal charm.

When it's not toweling off its split-toe stunners, Nike is using other cool fabrics in its Air Rift sneaker creations, making an already interesting shoe even more intriguing.

Recently, Nike went full brown pony hair on a classic Air Rift sneaker because even the kookiest of sneakers need to let their hair down every now and then. Beyond just textures, Nike has also gotten weird with its patterns, implementing polka dot uppers that would make any Yayoi Kusama enthusiasts swoon.

When it comes to Nike's Air Rift, there's really no limit to where they can take it.
