As a proud honorary UK citizen, Drake’s love for a good Nike Air Max Silhouette comes as no surprise.
</br>
The Canadian megastar has already played a hand in reviving the Drive and Flight models from Nike’s Zoom range, alongside releasing various colourways of his signature Nike Air Hot Step Terra silhouette over the past two years.
</br>
Rather than resurrecting another bygone Nike shoe, the next project to come from Drake’s Nocta office at Nike HQ has been officially revealed as the Hot Step 2.
A direct sequel to Drake’s premier Nocta shoe, the Hot Step 2 first appeared in passing when Drake kicked off his “It’s all a Blur” tour in Chicago last July and now, over 8 months later, product shots have surfaced of one out of three Hot Step 2 colourways expected to drop before the year’s end.
The first iteration to surface features a striking orange palette that almost entirely covers the moulded rubber uppers, besides shiny silver tabs placed at the heel and mid-foot portions.
</br>
Nods to classic Air Max design language include the mini swooshes, bubble logo at the tongue and Air Max 95-esque lacing system.

Rumours indicate the Drake x Nike Nocta Hot Step 2 will release later this year with a price tag close to $200 USD.
