Drake’s collaborative Nike Nocta Hot Step to be released on March 3

Drake will release on March 3 his first collaborative Nike sneaker, the Nocta Hot Step, priced at $180.

The upper of the Nike Nocta Hot Step is made of pebbled leather, with bright 3M highlights. It also includes G-Tek traction on its outsole.

The sole is identical to the Nike Air Terra Humara of 1999, which has a traction pattern on the bottom.

The hype for the shoes kicked off last weekend when artists such as DJ Khaled and Lil Yachty released promotional pairs on their social media platforms.

While the Hot Step is Drake's first Nike sneaker, he has collaborated on several Air Jordans throughout the 2010s with his OVO brand. Through his Nocta line, for example, Drake already produced collections of clothing with Nike.

Apart from the Hot Step, fans anticipate that Drake will release a collaborative Air Force 1 with Nike, although neither company has confirmed it.
