Drake's fashion imprint NOCTA continues to work closely with Nike as the duo launches a new iteration of the Zoom Flight 95 sneaker mode. The upcoming silhouette is dubbed the NOCTA Nike Zoom Drive, with talks of the NOCTA Nike Glide soon hitting the markets as well.
The retro silhouette has a chunky structure and monochromatic hues, taking the base foundation and detailing it with textural details across the upper. Other elements include the unique aglets and the four midsole bumps that replace the previous three bumps. All of this rests on top of an icy tonal sole unit foundation. The upper is detailed with black mesh materials throughout the upper for breathability and finished with a tonal pull tab.
