Drake's NOCTA sub-line, in collaboration with Nike, has been teasing sneakerheads with fleeting glimpses of its latest creation, the Hot Step 2, during the "It's All A Blur" tour last fall. As we approach Summer 2024, the anticipation has built to a crescendo, and the veil is finally lifted on the NOCTA Hot Step 2, ready to take the sneaker world by storm.
Embodying the essence of late 1990s flair, the NOCTA Hot Step 2 introduces a bold, bulkier design that nods to the era's iconic turf trainers. This latest iteration boasts molded uppers accented with exterior metallic touches, all anchored by a robust outsole that proudly displays cutting-edge Zoom Air technology. These design elements combine to offer a glimpse into the meticulous craftsmanship and innovative spirit driving the NOCTA line.
The official images released offer the most detailed look at the Hot Step 2 since its debut on stage with Drake in July 2023, showcasing the sneaker's intricate design and the thoughtfulness behind every aspect. The sneaker's branding is deliberately understated, with the Swoosh making subtle appearances inside the ventilated plate on the lateral side and near the forefoot on the nylon mesh toe. The iconic NOCTA swords are prominently featured on a circular logo on the tongue, while a sleek metallic plating at the heel rounds off the design with a touch of sophistication.
The Total Orange colorway, one of several set to release in the Summer 2024 season, promises to be a versatile addition to any sneaker enthusiast's collection. With its eye-catching design and innovative features, the NOCTA Hot Step 2 is more than just a shoe; it's a statement of intent from Drake's evolving footwear line.
Enjoy an update, an official look at the design below, and look for this debut "Total Orange" colorway to the first release on Nike.com on a March 15th shock drop (10:00 ET). A wider release and restock on Nike is set for April 4th, 2024.
