Nike NOKTA Hot step, light bone From Drake They’re finally on sale. After years of doubt and uncertainty, Nike is releasing the Canadian rapper’s sneakers, even though he ultimately decided to go with a bold snakeskin color combination rather than a base color. Is it a gaudy idea or a shoe recognizable from miles away due to its unmistakable style, in keeping with Drake’s goals as an artist?
Like Drake’s sneakers
Drake AND Nike They have a rather complicated relationship. Although NOCTA collection releases tend to sell out quickly, their success is not as predictable as models designed Travis Scott or the halo that shoes have Billie Eilish. Of course they didn’t even come close to reaching the peak Kanye West in collaboration with adidas.
Perhaps the reason he hasn’t reached sneaker heaven is the lack of a recognizable sneaker model for the Canadian rapper. If everyone associates Air Jordan 1 To Travis Scott And Nike Air Force 1 To Billie Eilish, what could Drake’s shoes be like? If you can’t answer the question, here’s the answer: le Nike NOCTA Hot Step Light Bone. The original model is not mainstream at all, so ordinary people can immediately identify with Drake.
Details are everything
The exclusive silhouette was already teased a few months ago in a tonal colorway, but Drizzy returned to Instagram to provide another teaser ahead of the official reveal, this time in Snake skin never seen it before.
The model is a modernized version Air Terra Humara, enriched with Drake’s personal touches and a basketball-inspired white/chrome and snakeskin combo. The teaser images show the model sporting a contoured look and premium flake leather on the upper. The aesthetics are complemented by an elegant quilted effect, as well as perforations and a sporty look. Down below, we admire the large Air unit in the heel housed within a White midsole with a rubber outsole.
The upcoming collection has been announced Drake last spring. However, the sneakers have resurfaced as they were also recently shown off on Instagram by a user DJ Khaled. The entire upper and tongue of the sneaker features a snakeskin print in shades of cobblestone, light bone, and light bubblegum brown. The upper is completed with a durable rubber outsole and matching outsole.
The sneaker features G-Tek branding on the heel, G-Tek branded insoles, 3M reflective detailing, a soft midsole and NOCTA branding on the tongue.
