Nike NOCTA Glide Drake EYBL Green Strike (2023)

Nike NOCTA Glide “EYBL Green Strike” (2023)

The Nike NOCTA Glide “EYBL Green Strike” is a standout 2023 release from Drake’s NOCTA label, in collaboration with Nike. Inspired by the Elite Youth Basketball League (EYBL), this model blends functional performance with bold, streetwear-forward aesthetics.

The ‘Slime Green’ colourway features a fluorescent shade across the breathable mesh upper, overlaid with tonal woven side panels inspired by the Air Zoom Flight 95. Vintage hoops references are highlighted through the unique ‘bug eye’ detailing embedded in the speckled foam midsole, complete with ‘NOCTA’ debossed on a chrome-finished oval. Inside, metallic silver insoles display mismatched NOCTA and EYBL branding, with the latter paying tribute to Nike’s Elite Youth Basketball League.

Lightweight mesh and synthetic overlays provide support, flexibility, and breathability, while the cushioned midsole ensures responsive comfort on and off the court. Subtle NOCTA branding reinforces Drake’s signature design philosophy, making this model both a collector’s piece and a functional performance sneaker.
