We all know about the passion for fashion and especially sneakers of Canadian rapper Drake. With his label NOCTA, which stands for "noctural creative process", Mr Champagne Papi aims to experiment with new possibilities by shaking up certain codes in the fashion world. He has unveiled innovative pairs through his brand, partnering with the Swoosh brand which supports his boldest ideas. We were able to discover the Nocta x Nike Hot Step Air Terra with its unprecedented design, as well as the elegant Nocta x Nike Air Force 1 Low "Certified Lover Boy", a nod to his album released in 2021.
A Look at the Nocta x Nike Scuba Slide
Despite the winter season, the endlessly creative rapper unveils a pair of Nike Scuba Slides that make us want to head out on vacation. Halfway between a slide and a fin, this new pair will indeed be marketed for diving and other water sports.

For those who recognized it, this pair draws inspiration from the Nike Swim Fins, the rubber fins from the Beaverton brand. The new iteration offered by Drake takes the same triangular shape in a full black colorway. It proudly displays the co-branding on the top of its upper, along with "A.W.R" and "C.L." on the blue heel pulls, standing for "All Wrongs Reversed" and "Copy Left" respectively. This ergonomic design provides good support and will be suitable for improving performance in the water.
We can assume that the fins will be accompanied by a clothing capsule and other equipment dedicated to water activities. Stay tuned to discover the other eccentricities of the Toronto rapper!
