Decent!

Amp up your cool factor with the Air Rift from turf Nike. This 1995 runner's signature split-toe design may look wacky, but it's undeniably its most appealing characteristic. It does not only exist to give it its outlandish looks but it's able to give the sensation of running barefoot (unrestricted movement + natural foot motion). Add to the equation its pillowy Nike Air cushioning on the heel and plush foam midsole, and you can easily say that this shoe is "heaven-sent."

A quick look at turf nike 6.0 zoom air black green flag's past

Yes, the turf nike 6.0 zoom air black green flag is back in all its oddity. But did you know that turf Nike isn't the first brand to develop a cloven hoof-like shoe? Although the turf nike 6.0 zoom air black green flag dates back to 1995, this shoe's split-toe design was first seen in 15th-century Japan. Known as "tabi" socks, these socks later turned into light and durable work boots called Jika tabi. Martin Margiela also shared its history by transforming these workhorses into glorified hooves.

Fast forward to the year 1995, turf Nike (with its love for the fast-paced sport of running) introduces its first split-toe runner. Dubbed as the turf nike 6.0 zoom air black green flag, its name and design are inspired by a ridge system that runs through the north and south of Kenya called Great Rift Valley.

Kenya, for decades, has been able to produce the world's best runners. Kenyan runners, as kids, were used to running barefoot or with minimal protection. Thus, it just made sense for a mad designer and ultra-distance runner like Kip Buck (with the help of Tinker Hatfield) to give these shoes a stretchy shoe-slash-sandal build. This type of design allows unhindered motion and gives a barefoot-like feel.
