FAQs
What is G-TEK technology?
G-TEK is a traction technology found in the sole of the shoe, inspired by the ACG Air Terra Humara, designed to provide enhanced grip and stability on various surfaces.
How do I clean the perforated leather?
Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt. For stains, a mild leather cleaner can be used, but always test on a small, hidden area first.
Are these shoes suitable for running?
These are primarily lifestyle sneakers designed for comfort and style in everyday wear. While they offer good cushioning, they are not optimized for intense running activities.
What does NOCTA represent?
NOCTA is Drake's Nike sublabel, signifying a collaboration that brings a unique streetwear aesthetic and design philosophy to the product.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
While the leather offers some protection, these shoes are not waterproof. Avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain. If they get wet, allow them to air dry naturally.
What is the main inspiration for this shoe's design?
The design draws inspiration from the Air Jordan 14 for its leather construction and the ACG Air Terra Humara for its sole technology.
Troubleshooting
Leather scuff marks appear
Use a leather conditioner or a specialized leather eraser to gently buff out minor scuffs. For deeper marks, consult a professional leather care service.
Cushioning feels less responsive over time
This is a natural effect of wear. Ensure the shoes are not exposed to excessive heat or moisture, which can degrade cushioning. Regular cleaning also helps maintain material integrity.
Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces
Ensure the soles are clean and free from debris. The G-TEK technology is designed for grip, but may perform differently on extremely polished or wet surfaces. Periodic cleaning of the sole tread can restore grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These are ready-to-wear sneakers. Ensure you select the correct size for optimal comfort.
Compatibility: Designed as a versatile lifestyle shoe, they are compatible with a wide range of casual apparel for men.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning Leather: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt. For tougher stains, use a dedicated leather cleaner, testing it on an inconspicuous area first.
- Avoid Excessive Moisture: Do not immerse the shoes in water. If they get wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag or the original box to protect the leather and prevent dust buildup.
- Sole Care: Periodically check the sole for debris and clean with a brush if necessary. The G-TEK technology requires no special maintenance.
