NOCTA x Nike Air Modmax “Pink Spell” Introduces New Cushioning Technology for Holiday 2026

Drake's NOCTA and Nike are preparing to introduce a new footwear silhouette for Holiday 2026, with the NOCTA x Nike Air Modmax “Pink Spell” offering a first look at the brand's latest cushioning technology.

The upcoming model expands NOCTA's footwear lineup beyond the Hot Step and Glide, introducing a new design centered around Nike's Mod Max cushioning system. The technology features six exposed, semi-translucent Air units positioned beneath the heel, supported by a sculpted structure that gives the shoe its distinctive raised profile.

According to NOCTA's Matte Babel, who shared an early look at the sneaker, the new cushioning system was developed to optimize impact absorption and stability through its anatomical design.

The debut “Pink Spell” colorway features a light pink upper with curved stitched panels, tonal laces, and brighter pink accents around the midsole. The exposed Air units feature a translucent orange finish, while Volt green traction pods and yellow detailing provide contrast underneath.

The upper also features a streamlined lacing system, subtle Nike branding, and a molded heel structure that extends around the visible cushioning.

The NOCTA x Nike Air Modmax “Pink Spell” is expected to release during Holiday 2026 for $180 via Nike.com and NOCTA. An exact release date has yet to be announced.
