These days, ongoing partnerships in the sneaker industry tend to follow a similar cycle. Starting out with a huge hype cycle that sells out debut colorways for a drop or two, or three, the collabs start popping up more often and with more stock, becoming a staple in both brands’ webstores and seasonal lineups.

Kim’s Latest Rifts

The NikeSKIMS Rift followed the trajectory to a T, and for the fall, Kim K and the SKIMS team are ready for leaf peeping and pumpkin spice sipping between workouts in two new split-toe Rift colorways with mesh on the base. Arriving this week in Cave Stone and Tar, the thin, low-profile pairs feature monochrome uppers with co-branded details on the forefoot strap.
