Sneakers are modern art. Bringing design and creativity far past their sportswear origins, sneakers have evolved into a hybrid of art, athletics, and consumerism. On the art side, we’ve seen plenty of gallery and museum shows highlighting shoes, and even a few collabs with the museums themselves.
A Work Of Art
At the Museum of Modern Art in New York City, aka MoMA, the institution has always been a step ahead of the art world when it comes to collaborations, activations, and events that bring modern art communities into the hallowed space. For its latest collaboration with Nike, MoMA is bringing its own artistic vision to one of The Swoosh’s most popular women’s silhouettes.
The MoMA x Nike Air Rift 2 Pack features two colorways of the low-profile tabi-toe workout shoe, bringing pops of modern art color to the model that’s recently been remixed by Kim Kardashian’s SKIMS and will soon be by Melitta Baumeister. The first MoMA pair is a watermelon candy mix of green and pink, with vivid green covering the soft upper, pink on the accent highlights, and yellow detailing. The second pair is slightly more subtle in black, but with neon yellow and light blue accents, with a hint of pink on the mini Swooshes. MoMA branding is featured on the lace panel and insoles of both pairs.
MoMA x Nike Air Rift 2 Pack Release Details
The MoMA x Nike Air Rift 2 Pack will be released Fall 2026 through MoMA, Nike, and select retailers in-store and online. Available in women’s sizing, the retail prices on both pairs are set at $130.
