FAQs
What makes the NOCTA x Nike Air Force 1 Low special?
This sneaker is special due to its collaboration with Drake's NOCTA sublabel, featuring premium tumbled leather, subtle co-branding, and unique "Love you forever" script on the midsole, all presented in a clean triple white colorway.
Is this shoe available in adult sizes?
This particular model, the 'Certified Lover Boy (GS)', is specifically designed in grade-school (GS) sizing. While other Air Force 1 models are available in adult sizes, this specific NOCTA iteration is focused on younger wearers.
How do I clean the white leather material?
Clean the white tumbled leather with a soft, damp cloth for general dirt. For tougher stains, a mild leather cleaner can be used carefully. Always allow the shoes to air dry naturally.
What does the 'NOCTA' branding represent?
NOCTA originates from the phrase 'nocturnal creative process' and is Drake's Nike sublabel, representing his approach to creativity and design, often inspired by late-night work.
Are the shoes waterproof?
The shoes are constructed from leather and are not designed to be waterproof. While they offer some resistance to light moisture, they should be protected from heavy rain or prolonged exposure to water.
What is the origin of the 'Certified Lover Boy' nickname?
The 'Certified Lover Boy' moniker is associated with Drake and was the title of his 2021 album. This sneaker iteration carries that theme through its design elements.
Can I wear these for sports?
While they are built on the iconic Air Force 1 silhouette known for its comfort, these are primarily fashion-oriented sneakers. They are suitable for casual activities but not designed for rigorous athletic performance.
Troubleshooting
Leather creasing excessively
Wear the shoes regularly to allow the leather to mold to your foot. Use shoe trees when not in use to help maintain shape. Avoid bending the shoes unnecessarily.
Slight discoloration on white leather
Gently clean with a soft, damp cloth. For persistent marks, use a specialized white leather cleaner sparingly and test on a small area first.
Insole branding fading
Minimize direct friction on the insoles. Consider wearing thin socks to reduce wear. Avoid harsh cleaning methods directly on the insole.

Care Instructions: To maintain the pristine condition of the Nike Air Force 1 Low Drake NOCTA Certified Lover Boy (GS):
- Cleaning the Leather: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt. For tougher stains, a dedicated leather cleaner can be used sparingly. Avoid soaking the shoes.
- Laces: Remove laces and hand wash them separately if they become dirty. Allow them to air dry completely before re-lacing.
- Soles: Use a brush or damp cloth to clean the midsole and outsole. Stubborn marks on the rubber sole can sometimes be removed with a magic eraser, but test in an inconspicuous area first.
- Drying: Always allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the leather and adhesives.
- Storage: Store the sneakers in a cool, dry place, ideally in their original box or a shoe bag, to protect them from dust and prevent creasing.
