The Shoe Surgeon Crafts Custom Pink NOCTA Glides for Drake's LA Finale

Drake's "It's All a Blur Tour" has been a spectacle of custom fashion pieces, from vests to aprons, and, of course, exclusive footwear. It was only fitting that the grand finale of the tour in Los Angeles featured a particularly eye-catching pair of custom-made Nike NOCTA Glides. Responsible for this sartorial splash was none other than Dominic Chambrone, widely known as The Shoe Surgeon.

Renowned for his meticulous craftsmanship and avant-garde customization, The Shoe Surgeon was commissioned to design a one-of-a-kind pair of Nike NOCTA Glides exclusively for the rapper. He hand-dyed the shoes in multiple shades of pink, a color palette offset by striking chrome insets along the midsole. The result was a piece of wearable art that perfectly aligned with the tour's extravagant aesthetics. This is not the first time the bespoke shoemaker has collaborated with Drake; he previously crafted Stone Island-inspired Air Jordan 12s for the artist.

While the Nike NOCTA Glide has made brief appearances through limited releases at select retailers, the silhouette has yet to see an official drop. That makes Drake's custom pink pair even more remarkable. Multiple colorways, including a green-based version for the Nike EYBL, have been previewed, generating buzz for the eventual retail release.

For now, the pink NOCTA Glides remain an exclusive item, symbolic of Drake's special relationship with Nike and his willingness to push the boundaries of celebrity and fashion. But keep your eyes peeled—though you may not get your hands on this particular pair, the eventual release of the white and chrome edition offers an open canvas for sneaker enthusiasts to try their hand at customization.
