Drake’s NOCTA x Nike Air Force 1 Low is set to make a grand return to the sneaker scene in 2025. While we eagerly anticipate its unveiling in new pastel colourways, our current fascination lies with the NOCTA x Nike Air Force 1 Low “Pearl” – a one-of-a-kind creation by the exceptionally talented sneaker artist Jordon Diab @jordondiab.
A Closer Look at the Sneaker
This exquisite custom pair features a fully reconstructed upper made primarily from pearlescent genuine python leather. This luxe material lends its iridescent sheen to the NOCTA x AF1, elevating it from its usual plain white leather appearance.
But other details on this pair have also been reimagined. The tongues, eyestays, side Swooshes, and heels have all been transformed with a shiny white patent leather finish.
Yet despite all these transformations, the pair preserves some of its signature details. You’ll notice the familiar all-white sole unit adorned with the “Love You Forever” text and the blue plastic bead lace charms adding a special touch to the final look.
Is the Nocta x Nike Air Force 1 Low “Pearl” Available for Purchase?
Unfortunately, as with most of Jordon Diab’s current custom creations, this iridescent AF1 design is not for sale and won’t be reproduced. That said, there’s always the chance to commission your very own custom pair from this talented artist. Simply reach out to Jordon via his Instagram or email him at info@jordondiab.com to have him conjure up something unique for you.
If you need further proof of Jordon’s exceptional craftsmanship, take a moment to admire some of his other remarkable works. From the meticulously designed “Tar Heels” Air Jordan 1 High ’85 to the elegantly inspired “Quiet Luxury” AJ1 sneaker pack, Jordon’s dedication to detail shines through in every custom pair he creates.
