Let’s be frank: 2024 was a year to forget for Drake. On the receiving end of a scalding onslaught of diss tracks courtesy of the West Coast’s current frontman Kendrick Lamar, the 6God has spent most of the calendar year keeping to himself, focusing on his family, and regrouping for what many of his fans will hope to be a comeback year in 2025.
Alongside a much-needed breath of fresh air is an updated schedule of collaborative shoe releases with Nike under his NOCTA imprint. Sadly, the impressive Hot Step 2 had to fly under the radar in ’24 despite an outstanding delivery relative to other NOCTA x Nike collaborations, but we’re certain that next year’s offerings, including the Drake Air Max Plus, will re-right the ship. Also confirmed for 2025 are more colorways of his Air Force 1 “Love You Forever”, seen here for the first time in the upcoming “Citron Tint” colorway.
This first look reveals a premium leather upper flooded in a light yellow leather, with a matching sockliner done in a smooth finish for an upsale appeal. The most impactful transformation comes on the midsole where Champagne Papi’s “Love You Forever” mantra replaces the iconic AF1 text hit on the heel.
Release date information hasn’t been revealed just yet, but this “Citron Tint” colorway will be joined by several other pastels such as the Cobalt Blue, Pink Foam, and Palest Purple.
