While Drake’s reputation may have taken a hit thanks to the massive success of Kendrick Lamar’s Not Like Us diss track, he’s still maintaining his position as one of the most popular artists on the planet. Nike has continued to push forward with his NOCTA sublabel, launching apparel collections, new Air Force 1 Low colorways, and Hot Step IIs over the last six months. However, Sole Retriever can confirm that come Fall 2025, Nike will be bringing back a fan-favorite from the NOCTA line — the Nike NOCTA Glide — which was last released in the White Chrome and Bright Crimson colorways in October 2023.
The same Zoom Flight 95-inspired design combines mesh, faux carbon fiber, and TPU across the upper. Most of the silhouette is covered in a stealthy black finish, including the mesh base, faux carbon fiber midfoot panel, the collar, and the Nike-branded TPU reinforcements near the lacing setup. Contrasting this are hits of iron grey, found on the lace set, tongue, sockliner, pull tab, and the Swoosh on the lateral midfoot.
NOCTA’s trident logo comes along the tongue branding window and the metallic silver insole, the latter featuring Nike co-branding. Below, the silhouette comes with a split black and iron grey foam midsole that features chrome “bug eyes” akin to the Zoom Flight 95. Finishing the sneaker is the grey and gold rubber outsole.
The Nike NOCTA Glide Black Iron Grey will release in Fall 2025 through Nike, NOCTA, and select retailers online and in-store. Available in men’s sizing, the retail price is $160.
