Glossy Reinvented Shoes

These NikeLab Air Rifts Were Reimagined By Pedro Lourenco

— December 12, 2015 — Fashion
When one of the world's most legendary sportswear and shoe brands joins forces with one of the planet's most gifted fashion designers, the result is bound to be spectacular, and that's the best word to describe the NikeLab Air Rift x Pedro Lourenco shoes.

The Air Rifts are particularly dear to Lourenco, who received his first pair from his mother as a child. These shoes have long remained famous for a sporty silhouette, something which Lourenco embraces with the NikeLab Air Rift x Pedro Lourenco collection, even if he does intentionally add a touch of gloss and a more technologically oriented finish.

Ultimately, these shoes seamlessly bring together the classic feel of the Air Rift with a more futuristic design borne out of Lourenco's imagination.
