Nike don’t pay me to tell you ‘Just Do It,’ They pay me to show you I do it again.

We’re in OVO territory with Drake’s birthday taking place yesterday. Coming off the momentum of Certified Lover Boy and with his Air Hot Step Terra on the way, all eyes are on Drake and what NOCTA can deliver. We all know Drake’s influence can reach the masses unlike most of his peers. But his upcoming collabs will be a new test. While the Jordan Brand partnership was short-lived, the hits were abundant. The Raptors-esque Air Jordan 4 with (and without) his signature), the OVO heavy Air Jordan 8, 10, and 12 were all part of this new era of artists and sneaker brands. Under his NOCTA label, we’ve seen a refined version of what Drake has to offer. From technical vests, golf apparel, and now an all-new silhouette with minimal branding, the boy and the Swoosh are ready to take over with Scorpio season underway.

While the upcoming collab might not have the same gravitas as his previous sneaker collabs, the Air Hot Step Terra is poised to be a certified hit – like all of Drake’s creations (whether you like it or not)

Sole Savy is unreal! With a busy schedule it’s hard to keep up on shoes, and the group keeps me up to date on releases, tips on how to manually cop, and a marketplace with killer deals from fellow like minded collectors. It’s changed the sneaker game for me!

@SoleSavy is the truth. They've helped me cop kicks I never would've imagined getting at retail. Members always willing to assist on drops too. And most of all, a REAL community of REAL sneakerheads. These guys should be the gold standard for sneaker communities! #LifetimeMember

My membership paid for itself three fold by being solely responsible for my union 4’s, mesh sacai waffles, sacai blazers, court purple aj1s, glow in the dark yeezy 350s, travis scott lows (which I traded to get desert ore ow’s), air max 1 londons, bc3’s for way under retail etc.

Can't say enough about SS. The stellar help with copping shoes is a given but it's the community that makes it extra special. Hands down one of the best decisions I made as a wannabe sneakerhead.

The community of sneakerheads and resources available to help manually cop are great and really will help you get more Ws. The Zoom calls for hyped drops like Union Jordan 4 only adds to the camaraderie while providing real time instruction
