While all the talk surrounding Drake in recent memory has primarily centered on 2024’s rap beef with Kendrick Lamar, the Canadian rap superstar has tried to shift the narrative by dropping new music with PARTYNEXTDOOR, $ome $exy $ongs 4 U, and by going on tour out in Australia. Outside of his endeavors in the music world, Drake continues working with Nike through his NOCTA sublabel, recently launching new takes on the AF1. However, come Fall 2025, Nike and Drake will revive the Nike NOCTA Glide silhouette in Black Iron Grey, and White Black colorways.
Last seen in October 2023, the silhouette will return with its Zoom Flight 95-inspired design, featuring mesh, TPU, and faux carbon fiber across its upper. This pair opts for a clean white finish for most of the upper, including the faux carbon fiber overlay on the midfoot, the mesh base layer, and the mesh collar. Black accents pop on the 3D Swoosh logo on the midfoot, the Nike text on the TPU reinforcements near the lacing setup, and the tongue/lace combo.
NOCTA’s logo is also on multiple parts of the sneaker, including the branding window atop the tongue and metallic silver insole. Down below, the midsole is split with white and black foam and features “bug-eye” overlays that mimic those found on the Zoom Flight 95. Chrome finishes are applied to the NOCTA-branded eye near the heel, while the others take on a black finish to match the outsole below.
The Nike NOCTA Glide White Black will release in Fall 2025 through Nike and select retailers online and in-store. Available in men’s sizing, the retail price is $160.
