Drake's NOCTA Preps New Nike Collection Before "Iceman" Drops

Aubrey "Drake" Graham is getting ready to release his ninth studio album Iceman. Although the Canadian artist has been occupied with the rollout of his long-anticipated project, he and his NOCTA team have found time to put together another Cardinal Stock collection with Nike.

Over the last few years, Cardinal Stock has become one of NOCTA's most-celebrated lines as it delivers elevated essentials in seasonal color schemes. The Summer 2026 lineup is no different, highlighting different apparel and accessories options in a warm weather-friendly "Alabaster" tone.

Always looking to position NOCTA within street culture, Drake and his team shot the Cardinal Stock Summer 2026 campaign in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. There, a mix of youth and its presumed "OGs" model the "Alabaster"-colored range, which includes Fleece Shorts, Nylon Shorts, Caps, and more. The campaign showcases NOCTA at the intersection of fashion, culture, and sport—unsurprising given that the imprint is backed by Nike Sportswear.

The decision to shoot the collection in Brazil is likely tied to the football fever produced by the impending 2026 World Cup™ tournament. The Swoosh has a long history within the South American company, having been the Brazil national football team's sponsor since 1996. NOCTA is also expected to take part in the "Unmatched Pre-Match" project, which sees fashion brands make apparel for some Nike-sponsored national football teams. NOCTA will work with the Canadian Soccer Association.

Enjoy campaign photography of the "Alabaster" Cardinal Stock drop ahead. All items arrive to Nike.com on Thursday, May 14, with a launch taking placing via NOCTA.com a day earlier.
