Rapper-Collaborative Minimal Sneakers

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

NOCTA and Nike Launch a Certified Lover Boy Air Force 1

— August 1, 2022 — Lifestyle
Drake's label NOCTA continues to work in collaboration with Nike on the new Certified Lover Boy iteration of the Air Force 1 sneaker model. The upcoming sneakers are made with a minimal design language, starting with a Triple White colorway palette throughout the shoe constructed from tumbled leather materials by the upper.

The lace dubreas have the branded gunmetal AF1 logo. Details that nod to the collaboration include the "Love You Forever" embossed by the rubber midsoles in a cursive design where the traditional AIR text is usually placed. The three-star logo that nods to NOCTA can also be seen embroidered on the heel tab. Co-branding accents round out the shoe by the insoles in a baby blue color.
