Since the launch of NOCTA between Nike and Drake in late 2020, the sportswear brand’s sub-label has been a major hit amongst fans worldwide. The label gave the Toronto rapper a chance to express his nocturnal fashion and footwear creative process, kicking off with the highly-anticipated Nike Hot Step Air Terra silhouette.

This upcoming NOCTA “Distant Regards” drop is inspired by the lifestyle of Nigeria, offering a selection of versatile footwear and apparel items, mainly focused on functionality. This collection alone features three new colorways of the Hot Step Air Terra in exotic snakeskin print. The elevated pattern gives the footwear a luxurious exterior and arrives in “Lite Bone” and NOCTA.com exclusive colorways, “Light Pumice” and “Pink Quartz.” To keep with the realistic exotic snake print pattern, the upper is textured, mimicking that of snakeskin. The shoe features the NOCTA signature mini Swooshes all around the arch of the foot, while sitting on a gum rubber outsole.

Alongside the footwear drop, the “Distant Regards” collection also features a selection of technical apparel pieces including the lightweight reversible vest and NOCTA jackets. NOCTA jackets include the deep pocket tech jacket, the multi-pocketed piece as well as the SWAROVSKI iteration. The SWAROVSKI jacket comes with matching pants, similar to the deep pockets tech pants. The technical crew long-sleeve features the signature NOCTA branding and the worlds, “FORZA NOCTA!” and a reflective accent on the front. In accessories, the collection also includes a set of white and grey socks.

The new “Distant Regards” collection will be dropping via NOCTA on May 16 at 12 a.m. EST, and via Nike SKNRS on May 19. Also included in this drop is the Hot Step in “Light Bone,” which will also be available via Nocta.com and Nike SKNRS. The “Pink Quartz” and “Light Pumice” will exclusively drop on NOCTA.com on May 15.
