NOCTA

NOCTA is Drake’s sub-label under Nike. Though the Canadian superstar and the sneaker giant have been connected since 2013, 2020 was the inception of the NOCTA brand. It was first teased by the rapper with a short Instagram video, becoming official with the release of the Hot Step Air Terra model just a few months later. Cut to 2024 and the collaborative relationship has now minted four additional models: the golf-minded Air Zoom Drive, the NOCTA Glide, and the one-off Nike Swim Fin. Most recently, the sequel to the original Hot Step surfaced with the release of the Nike NOCTA Hot Step 2 on April 4th.

Below you’ll find our latest coverage about Drake shoes and the greater NOCTA imprint, including new models, new colorways and release dates.
