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's not stopping Nike from continuing their relationship with the Canadian hunk, and they're set to drop a new Air Force 1 co-signed by the “Family Matters” rapper..
According to Hypebeasttwo new colorways of the “Certified Lover Boy” Air Force 1 are on the way, and truth be told, they're going a little rough. Originally released as an all-white Air Force 1 with “Certified Lover Boy” emblazoned on the sole, the NOCTA x AF1 will return 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 says “Love You Forever”.
We won't lie, we might have to.
How these sneakerheads take it should be interesting as Drizzy's popularity in the rap game has dropped since he took the “L” in his battle with Kendrick Lamar and eventually took Universal Music Group to court over said loss. While we're sure die-hard Drizzy fans will have no problem picking these up when they drop, others may be hesitant to do so for the aforementioned reasons.
Still, it's pretty dope.
Per Hypebeast:
Constructed with premium soft purple leather for the upper, the shoe's iconic 'Love You Forever' mantra is still standard on the translucent midsole and outsole. Premium leather gives the shoe a luxurious feel, giving the timeless silhouette another iteration. Watch out for the pair arriving later this month.
We don't agree with the legal action Drake took, but we may have to be swayed regardless. I'm just saying.
