The much-anticipated NOCTA "Love You Forever" Air Force 1s, formerly known as the "Certified Lover Boy" AF1s, are set to go on sale, and Drake is preparing for it.
This sneaker has been the centre of a rally of release dates and rumors, much like Certified Lover Boy's rollout, which encountered numerous delays, revised release dates, and frequent Drake teases.
Although it seems like these should have been available for eons by this point, the end of the year is quickly approaching, and with it, the official release dates of December 6 via NOCTA's website and December 8 via Nike's SNKRS app.
The leather quality is the first thing you'll notice when you take these out of the personalized "Love You Forever" box, which has a stunning sky blue hue. These are much softer than your typical pairs, in contrast.
While the infamous toebox creasing may not fare well, the tumbled texture applied to the upper should help to conceal it.
Putting fabrication aside, it's the little things that have made these so captivating.
The traditional "AIR" stamp is replaced with the scripted phrase "Love You Forever" on the lateral side of both shoes. A small, difficult-to-see detail that contributes to the themes of Certified Lover Boy and leaves a written message for the wearer of this piece.
