Coming on the heels of the release of his latest album, 'Certified Lover Boy,' Drake has officially unveiled his long-awaited golf apparel collection titled 'NOCTA x Nike Golf.' First teased by Brooks Koepka during the Tour Championship, this fairway-friendly collection aims to inject a new sense of streetwear-inspired style into the notoriously stuffy world of luxury golf.
As a whole, the collection is notably comprehensive and cohesive, boasting a variety of items ranging from quarter-zip windbreakers and polo shirts to short-sleeve mock necks and branded sunglasses. Baggy nylon pants appear as a staple piece throughout the lookbook, while standout items include a cream-colored full-zip windbreaker and green nylon long sleeves, both of which don “NOCTA GOLF” branding in large white font.
Though hip-hop and golf are two worlds that rarely collide, the new collection seems particularly fitting for the world-famous rapper considering his well-known interest in the sport.
