NOCTA and Nike work in collaboration and recently unveil that the duo is launching a purple color palette of the signature Air Terra sneaker model in time for the warmer seasons. It is set to boast a minimal design language as per usual and has a seamless design that features a light lilac hue throughout.
The upper is entirely made from leather materials with a mesh tongue at the front and the same tonal laces. A darker purple is applied for a touch of contrast and can be seen by the rubber sole unit foundation, which adds a touch of traction as well. It is complete with NOCTA branding on the tongue and a G-Tek motif by the heel.
