Melitta Baumeister Reworks the Nike Air Rift for a Full November Collection

Melitta Baumeister is bringing her sculptural design language to Nike with a new collection led by the Air Rift Rocker.

Baumeister reshapes the Air Rift into a bulkier, more exaggerated form built around the idea of a shoe “formed by hand.” The model layers patinaed leather over a neoprene-like upper and adds a wide grosgrain forefoot strap, molded Swoosh details and an elevated sole unit.

Underfoot, the translucent outsole features a custom “MB” traction pattern over footprint graphics, while Melitta Baumeister branding appears across the strap and tongue.

The Nike Air Rift Rocker x Melitta Baumeister arrives in two colorways: Black and White and Yukon Brown and Light Iron Ore. Both pairs are priced at $220.

The footwear is joined by a full apparel range carrying the same oversized, sculptural approach. Highlights include the Women’s Sculpted Track Jacket, matching Sculpted Track Pants and a voluminous Reversible Puffer Jacket, with pieces offered across black and brown palettes.

The Melitta Baumeister x Nike collection releases November 12 at 10 AM through Nike/SNKRS.
