Since the end of his feud with Kendrick Lamar, Drake's NOCTA line with Nike had been on the low side. However, this period of quiet ended with the announcement of the new "Eggplant" version of the Hot Step 2, which was first leaked earlier this year before being officially unveiled.
The NOCTA x Nike Hot Step 2 "Eggplant" features an iridescent finish that covers the entire upper, highlighting the unique texture and carefully selected material mix.
The purple color, dominant throughout the sneaker, is subtly complemented by touches of "University Gold" on the outsole, creating a color combination reminiscent of the LSU Tigers.
The design is further accentuated by a sky blue inner bootie, featuring metallic NOCTA branding, adding a sophisticated finishing touch to the shoe.
Fans of the collaboration can expect this sneaker to generate significant interest upon its release. In the meantime, stay tuned for further announcements and visuals regarding this highly anticipated model.
While neither Drake nor Nike have yet announced a specific launch date, the "Eggplant" release is expected this fall.
It will be available via Nike SNKRS and select retailers, priced at $200 USD.
