Legendary Sneaker Collector Mayor Shows Off Chrome Hearts x NOCTA Air Force 1s

Drake’s Chrome Hearts collabs aren’t done yet. After dropping a collection of extremely limited Chrome camo clothes that sold out immediately, the partnership between Chrome Hearts and Drake’s Nike sublabel NOCTA apparently continued to at least one pair of sneakers.

In an unexpected Instagram post from legendary sneaker collector Mayor, the man with every pair showed off an all-white Chrome Hearts x Nike NOCTA Air Force 1 Love You Forever with custom Chrome hardware on the eyelets, lace tips, and lace dubraes. The white-on-white base is a standard Nike NOCTA Air Force 1 with a custom pattern on the toebox perforations and Drake’s signature “Love You Forever” text added to the midsole at the lateral heel.

Chrome Hearts has been customizing products across the retail landscape for decades, from the standard belt buckles, jewelry, and lighters to a pencil sharpener and a mousetrap, so a pair of sneakers is pretty tame considering. When the first Chrome x NOCTA collab dropped at the LA Chrome flagship store without notice, it sold out before most people realized the collection even existed.

So far, the Chrome collab Forces have only shown up in Mayor’s collection, and it’s entirely possible that’s the only pair in the world, but if we had to guess, there’s at least one more in Drake’s closet. As for a retail drop…well, even if it does, you won’t be there in time. For updates on sneakers you’ll have a much better shot at copping, download the Sole Retriever mobile app.
