“Chrome Heart Forces, I had to import it.” We may be taking some creative license with the 6 God’s lyrics there, but there’s no shortage of allusions in his catalog to the jewelry-turned-apparel brand, currently the apex of hype culture and oftentimes the flex-iest company you can possibly pull out on social media. We and our audience saw the impact of that firsthand, as Drake debuted a range of custom Chrome Hearts x NOCTA x Nike footwear in a year-end stream with gambling partner Stake.

With that showcase slowly receding from the spotlight as we turned the page to 2026, who else but vaunted collector Mayor would bump it right back up to the top. Indeed, the NYC native himself took to social media to share shots of what’s ostensibly his latest pickup. As teased by the rapper’s video, it’s a subtle tweak to the all-white “Certified Lover Boy”/”Love You Forever,” imbuing the simplistic shoe with Chrome energy via sterling silver accents, replacing the eyestays, adding intricate engraved aglets, and a co-branded dubrae for good measure.

Though this likely means that more than just the pair Drake once held was created, we’d wager that the Chrome Hearts x NOCTA x Nike Air Force 1 “Certified Lover Boy” is an ultra-limited affair. The three-headed apparel collection that preceded it was only available at one branch in Colorado, and commanded obscene retail pricing. If you’re not motivated to offer what might amount to multiple new cars, window shop via the images below.
