After suing UMG for their support of Kendrick Lamar’s smash hit, “Not Like Us,” Drake has become the least liked rapper in the Hip-Hop game today. But that isn’t keeping Nike from continuing their relationship with the Canadian crooner and they are about to drop a new Air Force 1 co-signed by the “Family Matters” rapper.
According to Hypebeast, two new colorways of the “Certified Lover Boy” Air Force 1 is on the way and truth be told they kinda go hard. Originally released as an all-white Air Force 1 with “Certified Lover Boy” etched on the sole, the NOCTA x AF1 will be returning in Pale Purple / Cobalt Tint and CITRON TINT colorways along with translucent soles to match, but instead of sporting “Certified Lover Boy” on the sole, these will have a different message that reads “Love You Forever.”
We’re not gonna lie, we might have to copp.
How sneakerheads will receive these drops should be interesting as Drizzy’s popularity in the rap game has dropped since taking the “L” in his battle with Kendrick Lamar and ultimately taking Universal Music Group to court over said loss. While we’re sure hardcore Drizzy fans will have no problem copping these when they drop, others may be hesitant to do so for the aforementioned reasons.
Still, they’re pretty dope.
Per Hypebeast:
Constructed with premium soft purple leather for the upper, the shoe’s iconic “Love You Forever” mantra is still a standard on the semi-translucent midsoel and outsole. The premium leather gives the shoe a luxe feel, giving the timeless silhouette another iteration. Look out for the pair arriving later this month.
We’re not with the legal action that Drake done took, but we might have to copp regardless. Just sayin.’
