MoMA x Nike Air Rift 2 Pairs Museum Branding With Split‑Toe Tabi Design

The reported collaboration marks a deeper retail partnership that frames a pop‑art sneaker drop for sale through MoMA’s shop and Nike’s SNKRS platform.

Overview

  • The collaboration was reported to include two vivid colorways that use highlighter tones and translucent outsoles to echo Pop Art screen prints.
  • The Air Rift 2 is described as carrying museum details such as embroidered MoMA branding on the midfoot, a repeat‑print insole and a split “Mo”/“MA” visible under the left and right outsoles.
  • Retail details reported so far list a $130 price and an expected fall release via the MoMA Design Store and Nike’s SNKRS app, but no firm release date or full distribution plan has been confirmed.
  • Matching split‑toe tabi socks are said to be launching alongside the shoes, reflecting the pair’s revived tabi silhouette and the collaboration’s footwear focus.
  • The drop continues MoMA’s pattern of exclusive Nike partnerships — including a 2017 Off‑White Air Force 1 and last year’s Reverse Neon Air Max 95 — and leaks suggest a possible MoMA x Air Jordan 1 in 2027, though that remains unconfirmed.
