FAQs

What does NOCTA stand for?

NOCTA is a sub-brand created by Drake in collaboration with Nike, representing his nocturnal creative process and a mindset focused on ambition.

Are these shoes waterproof?

The shoes are constructed with leather and are not designed to be waterproof. They offer some resistance to light moisture but should not be submerged in water.

How do I clean the reflective 3M material?

Use a soft, damp cloth and gently wipe the reflective areas. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scrubbing, as this can damage the reflective coating.

What is the main cushioning technology used?

The shoe features a sculpted sole unit with a large, visible Air unit for cushioning and comfort.

Is this a limited edition release?

Yes, collaborations like this are typically released in limited quantities and are often sought after by collectors.

What type of leather is used?

The shoes feature pebbled leather uppers, known for their textured appearance and durability.

Troubleshooting

Creasing on leather

Minor creasing is natural with leather. To minimize, ensure proper fit and consider using shoe trees when not in use. Avoid bending the shoe excessively during wear.

Squeaking sound from sole

This can sometimes occur with new shoes or due to moisture. Try talcum powder or cornstarch under the insole to absorb moisture. If it persists, it might be an inherent characteristic of the sole construction.

Traction feels limited on very wet surfaces

While the G-TEK outsole provides good traction, extreme wet conditions can challenge any outsole. Exercise caution and ensure the sole is clean of debris.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

As footwear, the Nike Hot Step Air Terra Drake NOCTA requires no setup. It is compatible with most casual attire.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning: Gently wipe the leather uppers with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive water. For stubborn marks on the pebbled leather, a specialized leather cleaner can be used sparingly.
  • Drying: If the shoes get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in direct sunlight, as this can damage the leather.
  • Storage: Store the sneakers in a cool, dry place, preferably in their original box or a dust bag, to protect them from dust and maintain their shape.
  • Laces: Clean laces separately by hand or place them in a mesh bag and wash them on a delicate cycle in a washing machine. Ensure they are completely dry before re-lacing.
