Melitta Baumeister x Nike Rift Rocker Pack

Nike isn’t afraid to let its collaborators step a little out of the box. And after womenswear designer Melitta Baumeister set the sneaker world on fire with her two-pack of hand-painted Pegasus Premium and Vomero Premium colorways, Baumeister has the green light to get as wild as she wants. On her follow-up collab, Baumeister is taking an iconic split-toe silhouette to its most extreme form yet.

Melitta Baumeister Rocks

The Melitta Baumeister x Nike Rift Rocker first popped up in previews from Baumeister at the end of August, and now, just a few months later, the pair is set to drop in two colorways: Yukon Brown and Black. Starting with a Nike Air Rift base, the collab silhouette takes the rocker sole of modern running shoes and inflates it to comical levels, creating a bulky, moon shoe style with a split toe and a weathered leather upper.

The black colorway is the best of the duo, with a massive black rocker sole and a weathered black leather upper cracking with history. The brown pair is a cleaner combo with a brown rocker midsole and soft brown fabric across the upper. A forefoot strap features Baumeister branding, with Melitta’s all-seeing-eye theme from the first collab brought back on the black-and-white insoles.
