Drake’s NOCTA line has been keeping a low profile lately, but it’s ready to make some serious noise again with the latest release: the NOCTA x Nike Hot Step 2 'Eggplant'.
This sneaker is more than just a shoe; it’s a statement. After the dust settled on his beef with Kendrick Lamar, Drake seems to have redirected his energy into crafting this sneaker, bringing back the vibe of ‘90s performance footwear but with a modern, street-ready twist.
Design Details:
Let’s talk design. The NOCTA Hot Step 2 'Eggplant' is an absolute head-turner, dressed in a rich, dark purple hue that covers the entire shoe. The upper, which combines wavy leather and glossy black chrome panels, gives off a shimmering, iridescent effect— just like the iconic Foamposite One.
This isn’t just another monochromatic sneaker; it’s a shoe that commands attention. The mini Swoosh emblems on the forefoot and metallic sidewalls add a touch of Nike’s classic branding, while the NOCTA three swords logo on the tongue reminds you of its elite status.
But this sneaker isn’t just about looks. It’s built for performance, too. The G-Tek branding on the rear showcases the outsole technology designed to grip the toughest terrains, perfect for those who want to take their street style off the beaten path. Add in the visible Air cushioning and a rigid shank plate underfoot, and you’ve got a sneaker that’s as comfortable as it is stylish.
Conclusion:
Though Drake and Nike have been tight-lipped about the official release date, sneakerheads should keep their eyes peeled. Rumored to drop later this year via Nike SNKRS and select retailers, the NOCTA Hot Step 2 ‘Eggplant’ is expected to retail at $200 USD. Don’t sleep on this one—because once it’s gone, it’s gone.
