After months of speculation, Drake's new NOCTA x Nike Air Force 1 collaboration has finally been revealed, leaving many fans wondering if a release date has been announced by Nike.
Despite rumours the sneakers had been cancelled, Drake's homage to his Certified Lover Boy album has received a general release, putting the shoes in line to be considered one of the best sneaker collabs of the year.
The shoes also debut in the year the Air Force 1 celebrates its 40th birthday, although collaborations like this showcase how the model has moved away from its early days in basketball and toward the world of fashion.
With this in mind, here's everything we know about the NOCTA x Nike Air Force 1 so far...
NOCTA x Nike Air Force 1 release date
As previously touched on, there were rumours that the NOCTA x Nike collaboration had been scrapped due to how difficult it would be to mass-produce the heart-embossed outsole.
However, these rumours have been debunked as Nike has officially revealed the shoes and, in doing so, has confirmed that the sneakers are out now as of 8 December 2022.
We'd recommend acting fast though if you want to secure your pair before they sell out. If you're unsure, then perhaps a closer look at the design will help you decide.
NOCTA x Nike Air Force 1 design
Much of the NOCTA x Nike sneakers are kept the same as the highly popular all-white Air Force 1s, most notably the triple-white colour palette.
However, there are a few intricate details added that take the design of these Air Force 1s to the next level.
For example, you'll find the NOCTA logo replaces one of the Nike Air emblems on the heel counter, plus the words 'Love You Forever' are displayed in cursive along the back end of the midsoles.
You then get co-branded insoles, with both brands' logos printed on top of a light blue background.
The rest of the design pretty much sticks to the classic Air Force 1 look, with the lace dubraes featuring AF1 branding and Nike Air branding on the tongues and outsoles.
NOCTA x Nike Air Force 1 price
Once again, thanks to Nike officially revealing the shoes, it has been confirmed that the NOCTA Air Force 1s cost $160 in adult sizing.
It doesn't appear as though smaller and presumably cheaper kid's sizes are available just yet, although this could change over the coming weeks. Stay tuned for more information right here.
