Inside NOCTA Manor: Drake and Nike's Immersive Brand Retreat in London

Summary DrakeandNikerecently hosted 'NOCTA Manor,' an immersive, invite-only concept retreat nestled just outside London in the countryside town of Windsor. Built to coincide with Drake's three-night headline run atWireless Festival 2025, the Manor is designed to expand their world ofNOCTAfar beyond apparel and offers a curated look into the evolving universe of their NOCTA brand, bringing together fashion, athletics, music, and hospitality under one highly stylized roof. Set inside a gothic-style estate, the space immediately blurs the lines between luxury living and performance design. From the exterior, the Manor retains its stately, old-world charm. But step inside, and you're met with a fully realized NOCTA ecosystem — thoughtfully divided into three distinct zones: NOCTA Manor, the NOCTA Sports Club, and the Clubhouse. Each space serves a different function, yet all are connected by a unified aesthetic. From branded lounge areas and personalized locker rooms to custom NOCTA boats and a striking yellow and black basketball court set against manicured grounds, every detail is designed to immerse guests in the world of NOCTA. The layout blends high-performance minimalism with a refined, lifestyle-driven sensibility, staying true to the brand's design language while introducing new levels of tactility and intention. Across the multi-day experience, guests were invited to engage with NOCTA in motion. From Nike trainer-led workouts and American football scrimmages to river tours and curated wellness sessions, the experience was as much about movement as it was about rest. An all-star lineup of attendees — including21 Savage,Sexyy Red,Central Cee,Kevin Durant, andDevin Booker— further reinforced the brand's deep cultural roots, bridging the worlds of music, sport, and style into one interconnected atmosphere. Inside, the Manor's interiors were dressed in NOCTA's core palette, with product installations, exclusive apparel previews, and potential first looks at upcoming footwear — including rumored NOCTA x Maverick sneakers. Every detail, from the furniture to the lighting, was intentional, designed to echo the brand's duality: elite performance meets everyday expression. Despite its ultra-exclusive guest list, NOCTA Manor was built for visibility. The retreat's design and programming were meant to be experienced, photographed, and shared. Social posts from attendees quickly transformed the Manor into a viral case study in modern brand immersion. By inviting tastemakers and creatives to live inside the NOCTA world — if only for a weekend — Drake and Nike have redefined what a brand activation can be. More than just a product launch, NOCTA Manor served as a lifestyle installation, one that positioned NOCTA not just as a label, but as a cultural environment. Take a closer look at scenes from the NOCTA retreat below.

The DIY'd Looks at Lady Gaga's Mayhem Ball Are Paparazzi-Worthy

Put your paws up, Little Monsters: Lady Gaga's Mayhem Ball tour has officially begun. Kicking off in Las Vegas on July 16th, the pop superstar is taking her show on the road across the globe—with performances happening in San Fransisco this week, followed by additional stops in North America, Europe, Australia, and Asia. Even better than seeing Gaga perform a multitude of hits in theatrical fashions? Observing what her devoted fans are wearing in the crowd, of course. Just over one week in, and Little Monsters have already proven to be dedicated method dressers. This summer's buzzy tours—from Beyoncé's Cowboy Carter to Kendrick Lamar and SZA's Grand National Tour—have also seen crowds show up in style, though thus far, Mayhem Ball looks have emerged as especially over-the-top, with some dead-ringers for iconic Gaga 'fits. Dare we say, the handmade meat dresses and latex gowns rival the splashy designs the superstar wears on stage. Gaga performing at the Mayhem Ball Many fans have recreated the red lace Alexander McQueen dress (and facial covering) that Gaga wore to the 2009 MTV VMAs. Others have captured her spooky-chic spirit by hand-bedazzling jackets with tons of blood-red crystals. One creator even hand-crocheted an entire angelic-white dress (a vibe that nods to Gaga's recent 'Abracadabra' music video). These days, attending a concert is just as much about the looks as it is the performance—and the Mayhem Ball is officially this summer's freaky high-fashion fantasy, where creativity can be unleashed to the max. Put your paws up! Below, see some of the best Mayhem Ball outfits so far.
