A split-toe design that fits the Air Rift perfectly

There are plenty of split-toe socks on the market, yet finding a pair with just the right thickness and a polished look isn’t easy. These Everyday Plus ankle socks extend to just above the ankle and are made from a blend of 59% polyester, 37% nylon, and 4% spandex. Quick-dry mesh at the ankle helps keep feet dry, even after wearing them all day in high temperatures.

Compared with plain white, which can easily look too stark, the subtly warm Light Bone shade blends naturally into an everyday wardrobe of earth tones, black, white, and gray. The refined black Swoosh logos on either side of the cuff are a subtle detail that peeks out casually. Paired with shorts or a loose utility skirt, they give off the vibe of a cool girl who knows how to dress.

Bonus: A playful polka-dot update for the Air Rift

Once you’ve found the perfect socks, don’t miss Nike’s new polka-dot Air Rift design, launching at US$ 135. The brand is releasing two colorways at once: all-black and silver-and-black. Bold polka-dot prints on the synthetic upper give the “ninja” shoe, previously known for its functional, cool look, a touch of Y2K edge and playfulness.

The understated all-black version is easy to wear every day, while the metallic silver-and-black color-blocked version has a strong futuristic feel. It retains the signature lightweight Air-cushioned footbed and convenient adjustable hook-and-loop straps, making it the perfect match for the Light Bone split-toe socks this summer.

With its accessible price and practicality, these Nike split-toe socks really make you want to stock up on a few pairs. They are expected to ship on June 18, so if you’re interested, add them and the new polka-dot Air Rift to your cart to get ready for upcoming trips.
