Drake’s NOCTA Unveils New Nike “Scuba Slides”

by

If you are a big Drake fan, then you probably know about his NOCTA imprint with Nike. So far, NOCTA has come through with some dope shoes that have certainly impressed fans. Overall, the brand is known for some cool dad shoe-type silhouettes, and it is clear they are ready to do more.

NOCTA is also big in apparel, which is good for its overall portfolio. However, it is clear that the brand wants to try some new things in the footwear space. For instance, they are now looking to make some new slides with Nike. In fact, new images have surfaced of their latest slide which is sure to turn heads.

In the images down below, you can find the NOCTA x Nike “Scuba Slide.” According to Sole Collector, this is not the official name of the slide. However, it is most definitely an appropriate one given what we see here. As a whole, this might be NOCTA’s most challenging silhouette yet.

Firstly, you can immediately tell that these look as though they would make you swim, faster. At the toes, the silhouette gets wider and makes the slide look like duck feet. Secondly, the heel is very narrow which will make these snug on the back of your feel. Lastly, the initial colorway is all-black, which keeps them stealthy.

If you are a big fan of these, then more power to you. We can tell these are going to be extremely polarizing, as footwear like this isn’t exactly mainstream. Although, we can definitely see some people falling in love with these.

Release Details

At the time of writing this, the Nike “Scuba Slide” does not yet have a release date. However, you can stay tuned to HNHH for all of the latest news and updates from around the sneaker world. Additionally, let us know what you think of these, in the comments below.

Drake is kicking off his holiday gift giving a few weeks early this year. The 36-year old star recently blessed BFB Da Packman with a pair of his NOCTA Air Force Ones. Drizzy attached a note alongside the new shoes, encouraging BFB to continue on his workout grind. 

“I hope you enjoy the gift,” Drake wrote. “Best of luck on your weight loss. Keep it up kid.” The Her Loss rapper simply singed the note, “The Boy.” BFB shared his excitement over the gift with a lengthy Instagram caption. “ONE OF THE GREATEST @champagnepapi SENT ME HIS SHOES,” BFB wrote. “AND GAVE ME MOTIVATION TO KEEP WORKING OUT.

Drake recently announced the December 5 release of the NOCTA x Nike Air Force 1 Lows. He also gave fans a glimpse at the NOCTA’s Hot Step Air Terra “Champagne” and “Purple” kicks. That’s not all Drake has going on the days. Drizzy recently scored a win in a lawsuit because of his 2020 hit, “Way 2 Sexy” featuring Young Thug and Future. According to reports, the lawsuit was tossed as the plaintiff, Micheldeangelou Perfvwaybelayou, allegedly harassed prosecutors. 

Micheldeangelou accused Drake of stealing his song “Reach For Skies” for “Way 2 Sexy.” However, courts sided with the Canadia, according to documents obtained by All Hip Hop. “While Plaintiff does allege ownership of a valid copyright, he does not allege facts to show Defendants’ access to Plaintiff’s song. Nor substantial similarity.“The court grants defendants’ motion to dismiss plaintiff’s complaint in its entirety.”

Anything Drake does makes a huge splash. Whether it be new music, funny Instagram stories, theatrics at basketball games, executive production of films and tv shows, or fashion, the 6 God is guaranteed to make a headline. One of the least polarizing about him has been his fashion partnerships, especially his work with Nike. On July 27, the “God’s Plan” rapper revealed the third capsule of his Nocta collection, which is strictly for the hoopers.

Five days ago, fans got a sneak preview of what to expect in a promotional clip posted to the Official Nocta Instagram page. The video displayed Nike Elite Youth Basketball players showing off their skill on the court while sporting Nocta on-court gear. There was also a banner that read “Nocta Expands The Culture Of Basketball For A New Generation” true to Drake’s affinity for the sport.

This Nocta capsule includes arm sleeves, one-legged compression tights, a reversible Dri-FIT headband, finger sleeves, fleece sweatpants, socks, a basketball, and much more. If that isn’t enough to draw in new buyers, the slogan certainly will as it sounds like a Drake lyric: “Sometimes you. Sometimes me. Always us.”

The third Nocta capsule collection is now available for purchase here and here. Check out the promotional video above and close-ups of the pieces below.

Drake Dedicates His Latest Nike Nocta Golf Line To His Uncle Steve

Drake’s fondness for basketball is no secret, but it might surprise fans to find that The Boy’s latest Nocta Nike collaboration focuses on golf instead of hoops. The new drop, which became available today, features 10 signature pieces inspired by Nike’s broader links collection. Items in it put unique spins on the usual golf attire, such as providing mock neck short-sleeved shirts in place of the usual collared shirts, as well as useful accessories like sunglasses and visor hats.

In a separate post on his own Instagram page, Drake explained the reasoning behind releasing a golf line, dedicating the collection to one of his “idols”: His uncle Steve, who introduced him to the game. “A collection dedicated to one of my idols,” he wrote. “A man who took me under his wing and showed me much of what life had to offer and even more so what your own life can become when you are dedicated and loyal. My grandmother Evelyn Sher has a resting place close to the King Valley Golf Club and our drives and visits to that course hold some of my most valuable life lessons and will forever be cherished.”

The Stephen Sher Nocta Golf collection is available now. A few of the pieces are already sold out, but you can check it out here.
