NOCTA x Nike Hot Step 2 Gets Murdered-Out in “Black”

Drake’s NOCTA imprint continues to evolve its partnership with Nike, dropping the highly anticipated Hot Step 2 “Black”. This sophomore silhouette in the NOCTA x Nike collab lineup represents a bold step forward in the Certified Lover Boy’s foray into sneaker design.

The NOCTA x Nike collaboration, which kicked off in late 2020, has been a game-changer in the realm of artist-backed sportswear. Named after Drake’s nocturnal creative process, NOCTA aims to bridge the gap between streetwear and Nike’s performance heritage. The Hot Step 2 builds on the success of its predecessor, the Hot Step Air Terra, which debuted in 2022 to critical acclaim.

Draped in a murdered-out colorway, the Hot Step 2 “Black” is a statement piece that demands attention. Its aggressive lines and future-forward shape wouldn’t look out of place in a cyberpunk streetscape, yet it carries echoes of Nike’s basketball legacy. The midsole is where things get technically interesting. Featuring Nike’s cutting-edge Air technology, a mainstay since the late ’70s.

Mark your calendars as the NOCTA x Nike Hot Step 2 “Black” will be released on September 28 via Nike.com and select retailers for $200. Keep it locked to our Sneaker Release Dates Calendar for updates.
