Drake and Nike's NOCTA Collection Receives Official Pricing and Release Date
The rapper has cooked up gold-tinged sporty staples.
The launch of Drake‘s latest much-hyped Nike collaboration, mysteriously dubbed “NOCTA,” draws ever closer. Dubbed “a collection for the collective,” the introductory NOCTA apparel collection serves up accessible silhouettes in two tones, yielding high-contrast winter-ready layering pieces.
NOCTA’s design cues are informed by Drake’s desire to create “the hardest” garments possible, yielding a premium sporty uniform for individuals on the go. “Just the best of that world,” the rapper said in a statement. “To be associated with the highest level possible — that was always my goal.”
For what’s presumably the first of several NOCTA releases, Drake and Nike have imagined a quartet of seasonal essentials in a relatively straightforward palette. There’s a classic puffer jacket, hoodie, fleece pants and crew socks on hand, each realized in Black or University Gold (except for the monochrome socks) and accented by graphics executed in the opposite color.
All of the lightweight, yet insulating items feature NOCTA’s wordmark, branding and Swoosh detailing; most notably, the puffer is elevated by a three-dimensional beveled Swoosh on the rear. Elsewhere, the hoodie and pants feature reflective piping to further heighten nighttime visibility.
Prices for the line’s first drop are as follows:
NOCTA Puffer Jackets: $400 USD
NOCTA Hoodies: $120 USD
NOCTA Fleece Pants: $110 USD
NOCTA Crew Socks: $30 USD
Nike’s website will debut the first NOCTA offering on December 19. Don’t forget to keep an eye on NOCTA’s website in the meantime.
Meanwhile, Drake’s previous collaborators at Jordan Brand recently issued a selection of timely “ugly” apparel just in time for Christmas.
