New 2022 NOCTA x Nike Air Force 1 “Certified Lover Boy” DA3825-100
Air Max 270, Undoubtedly among the world’s most influential artists, Drake consistently produces hit after hit.In celebration, long-time fan Nike will help out on the footwear front, providing a very special, commemorative Air Force 1 dressed subtly with the LP’s themes.This is likely so both the artist and brand can pay more attention to the upcoming Hot Step Air Terra, which is due to release this week in both a black and white colorway. Drake’s love for AF1s has been no secret, thus it comes as no surprise that the silhouette was chosen to celebrate his sixth studio album.
This special offering of the Nike Air Force 1 Low arrives in a classic “Triple White” color blocking.From the forefoot backwards, neutral tumbled leathers construct the shoe, offering a quality ostensibly more premium than the GR standard. Below, along the matching midsole, the “AIR” text is replaced with elegant embossing, its cursive spelling out “Love You Forever” in honor of the album itself.Lastly, the traditional stars on the lower toe and heel have been remolded into heart shapes.
This Nike Air Force 1 High features a White leather upper paired with Blue contrasting stitching throughout. Red continues on the tongue tags, liner, heels, insoles, and rubber outsole atop a clean White AF1 midsole. Elsewhere, the blue hue animates the forefoot, midfoot and collar areas, including the tall Air Force 1’s ankle straps.This timeless pair combines a white leather base with a “Royal Blue” touch. The vibrant hue constructs the sneaker’s piping, while also finding its way to the bottom tread. Other portions of the profile maintain the usual shape and design of the ’82 silhouette.
