The ''Nike Hot Step 2 Drake NOCTA Black'' is an athletic shoe with a synthetic leather upper in black. The upper features a curved linear aesthetic, with black and white checkered mudguard windows accented by the Nike Swoosh. NOCTA branding appears on the tongue, while a black midsole with a visible Air unit and University Gold traction pads define the black outsole.

NOCTA is chart-topping Canadian hip-hop artist Drake’s clothing brand, which has teamed up with American athletic wear powerhouse Nike. The name is derived from Drake’s nocturnal creative process, and the collection is identified by its fashion-forward, minimal aesthetic, a direction that the brand applies to clothing, footwear, and accessories.

In our opinion, the Hot Step 2's best feature is its Black color palette, which is emphasized by the hidden pop of color on the sole. The ''Nike Hot Step 2 Drake NOCTA Black'' was released on September 28, 2024, and retailed for $200.
