FAQs
What is NOCTA?
NOCTA is a sub-brand created by Drake in collaboration with Nike, focusing on streetwear-inspired apparel and footwear.
What material is the shoe made of?
The shoe features a pebbled black leather upper with a net tongue and lining.
How should I clean the leather part of the sneakers?
Gently wipe the leather with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn marks, use a specialized mild leather cleaner and test on an inconspicuous area first.
Are these shoes suitable for athletic performance?
While they feature Nike Air cushioning for comfort, they are primarily designed as lifestyle and casual wear sneakers, not for high-impact athletic training.
What is the significance of the University Gold color?
The University Gold color is used for accent details, such as the mini Swoosh and NOCTA branding, adding a vibrant contrast to the black leather.
Do these sneakers have reflective elements?
Yes, the shoes include 3M reflective detailing on the side panels and tongues for enhanced visibility in low-light conditions.
What is the 'G-TEK' branding on the heel?
G-TEK refers to the durable rubber outsole technology used to provide enhanced traction and grip.
Troubleshooting
Creasing on leather upper
Minor creasing is natural with leather. To minimize, use shoe trees when not in use and avoid over-tightening laces. Store properly.
Traction appears reduced
Ensure the G-TEK rubber outsole is clean. Wipe away any dirt or debris trapped in the tread pattern with a damp cloth.
Discoloration of gold accents
Avoid harsh cleaning chemicals. Clean gold accents gently with a slightly damp cloth. Ensure the shoes are not exposed to abrasive materials.
