As anticipation surrounding Drake’s next move with his collaborative Nike NOCTA line continues to build, a steady stream of colorways on his upcoming NOCTA Glide silhouette have surfaced. Just last week “The Boy” had six colorways pop up despite the shoe having no firm release details just yet. Following this, Lil Yachty has showcased a University of Kentucky-themed pair.

Possibly a player exclusive colorway, the NOCTA Glide pops in the Wildcats’ blue and white. As a diehard fan of the school’s men’s basketball team, Drake has assembled a fitting look for the squad. Mesh once again graces the upper with the “UK” logo visible at the lateral midfoot of the midsole, appearing in front of embossed “NOCTA” text.

No news surrounding the debut of Drake’s Nike NOCTA Glide has popped up just yet and we’re uncertain as to whether this University of Kentucky-themed pair will ever find itself on shelves. Stay tuned for updates as we expect the silhouette to launch later this year via Nike SNKRS and select retailers at a price of $160 USD. You can also cop more Kentucky-themed gear via GOAT.
