Throughout their collaborative relationship, Drake has brought back a number of obscure Nike models from the archives infused with the contemporary aesthetics of his NOCTA brand. Returning to shelves for the first time since 1999, Aubrey’s latest joint effort – the Nike Air Zoom Drive – has since appeared in first-look imagery.

The Certified Lover Boy’s take on the classic Alpha Project silhouette embarks on a seldom number of distinct design changes, ditching the former perforated canvas mudguard in favor of a clad-leather construction. Much like his Hot Step Air Terra, an assortment of miniature white checks litter the 3/4 cut model whereas the Zoom cushioning system underfoot retains its streamlined look over 24 years later. While the model is expected to debut in a “Triple White” colorway, the pictured proposition is anchored in a two-toned monochrome flair, reserving a dominant amount of real estate for the tonal consumption of jet-black shades while crisp white contrasts ascertain the laces, TPU plate and the duo of branded pull tabs.

Release details haven’t been made available just yet. In the meantime, the NOCTA x Nike Air Zoom Drive “Black/White” can be seen in previewed imagery below.

In other news from the Beaverton brand, the LeBron 21 “Purple Rain” recently surfaced in detailed images.
