Nocta x Nike “Distant Regards” Collection

Finally it is time again! We get a new Nocta X Nike collection with new clothes and even three new colorways of the Hot Step Air Terra. The "distant Regard's" series was inspired by the streets and the lifestyle from Nigeria. The new release of three sneaker colorways is led, all of which are made up of a snakeskin pattern - in the style of the wilderness of Africa. Regard, of course, also comes with some clothes that specialize more in functionality than in other ways. 

The three colorways

The "Light Bone" starts with us. The Hot Step Air Terra is decorated with a gray snake pattern and sits on a beige upper with great attention to detail. Small Nike Swooshes can be seen occasionally that have been placed beautifully. Since the collection has built more on functionality, we get the 3M points on the whole sneaker. The rubber sole is withdrawn again with a GUM Unzoble and an airbubble should not be missing, of course. A nocta patch is also incorporated into the tongue.

We also come to the second of the three Colorways: The "Light Pumice" comes with creative, blue upper and the same, elaborately designed snakeskin pattern in gray. Here are the details such as the Nike Swooshes, which were installed at the level of the heel and the tobox, as is the case with the first model. The 3M arrangement has also remained the same, the only difference is of course the azure color and the sole, which was kept white. The Gumseny below is still there!

The last colorway is definitely also the most daring: the Nike X Nocta Hot Step Air Terra in Pink Oxford has been designed with a rather greenish snake pattern, which is great out of the pink upper. The design and structure are the same as the previous couple, but this pink is insane, so strong and full. Really nice!

The clothes

With a cool photo shoot in a Nigerian city, the vibe of the collection of the collection could be staged. The designs were rather simple, with many dark red and black tones.

Again, great importance was placed on the functionality of the pieces. The tracksuits and this cool rain jacket can even be transformed into a vest - really cool!

My conclusion about the collection

In general, I would say that I'm a drake fan. However, I have to say that I liked the clean black or white Nike X Nocta Hot Step Air Terra better than this elaborately designed colorway. Of course that's a matter of taste! 

In my opinion, the clothes of the "Detand Regard" collection are very nice, simple and suitable for everyday use and therefore more of my taste.
