FAQs
What does NOCTA stand for?
NOCTA is a sub-label created by Drake in collaboration with Nike, inspired by the mindset of those who are on the grind, working late into the night ('nocturnal').
Are these shoes suitable for athletic performance?
While they feature Air cushioning and a durable sole, they are primarily designed as lifestyle and fashion sneakers, not for intense athletic training.
How should I clean the University Gold accents?
Gently wipe the gold accents with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or brushes that could damage the finish.
What material is the upper made of?
The upper is constructed from pebbled black leather, complemented by a net tongue and lining.
Do the 3M reflective elements actually work?
Yes, the 3M reflective detailing is designed to catch light and reflect it, enhancing visibility in low-light conditions when illuminated by a light source.
What is the traction like on these sneakers?
They feature a G-TEK traction rubber outsole, providing reliable grip on most urban surfaces.
Are these a limited edition release?
As a collaboration between Nike and NOCTA, these sneakers are often released in limited quantities and may be subject to availability.
Troubleshooting
Scuff marks on leather
Gently wipe with a damp cloth. For deeper scuffs, use a specialized leather conditioner or cleaner designed for the type of leather.
Reduced reflectivity of 3M material
Ensure the reflective surfaces are clean. Gently wipe with a microfiber cloth. Avoid abrasive materials that could damage the reflective coating.
Soles feel slippery
The G-TEK outsole is designed for traction, but may feel less grippy on extremely wet or polished surfaces. Ensure the soles are clean of dirt and debris, which can impede traction.
Discomfort during wear
Ensure you have the correct size. Break in the shoes by wearing them for short periods initially. Check that laces are neither too tight nor too loose.

Care Instructions:

- Suede/Mesh Areas: If applicable to specific parts of the shoe not detailed, use a specialized brush or cleaner.
