FAQs

What does NOCTA stand for?

NOCTA is a sublabel created by Drake in collaboration with Nike, representing 'night time, cold, northern, CTA – the darkness of the 24-hour cycle'. It reflects an attitude and approach to design.

Are these shoes waterproof?

The leather upper offers some resistance to light moisture, but these shoes are not designed to be waterproof. It is recommended to avoid wearing them in heavy rain.

How does the G-TEK technology work?

G-TEK is a technology found in the sole that enhances stability and durability, providing a robust foundation for movement.

What is the inspiration behind the design?

The design is inspired by the Air Jordan 14 and incorporates elements from the 1999 ACG Air Terra Humara, combined with modern NOCTA aesthetics.

How do I know if my UK size 10 is the correct fit?

Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe. The heel should feel snug but not tight, and there should be minimal slippage when walking.

Can I machine wash these sneakers?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the leather, cushioning, and structural integrity of the shoe.

What is the retail price of this model?

The Nike Hot Step Air Terra Drake NOCTA Black originally retailed for $180 USD when released in March 2022.

Troubleshooting

Leather creasing excessively

This is a natural characteristic of genuine leather. To minimize visual impact, ensure proper fit and consider using shoe trees when not in use.

Squeaking sound from sole

A new sole may sometimes squeak due to friction between layers or against the ground. This typically resolves with wear. If persistent, check for debris trapped in the sole grooves.

Metallic emblems becoming dull

Gently polish the metallic mini Swoosh emblems with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the finish.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Compatibility: These sneakers are designed for adult male wearers. Sizing is provided in UK standards (e.g., UK 10).

Care: To maintain the premium look and longevity of the leather:

  1. Cleaning: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt. For tougher stains, a dedicated leather cleaner can be used sparingly.
  2. Conditioning: Periodically apply a leather conditioner to keep the material supple and prevent cracking.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain the shape.
  4. Protection: Consider using a water and stain repellent spray designed for leather, especially before the first wear.
