Is Drake Releasing 'Certified Lover Boy' Merch With Nike?
It looks like that “checks over stripes, that’s what we like” line got Drake a lot more than the keys to the Nike kingdom to shoot a video.
Back in August, we watched Drake’s video for the “Laugh Now, Cry Later” and were instantly transported back to Portland, to the hallowed grounds of Nike’s HQ, and to the “take my money” moment that is the Employee Store.
Now, fast forward to the present day and it appears we may be in for than just Drake’s new album: we might just get some Nike gear to go along with it. Ahead of the rumored release of Drake’s Certified Lover Boy album, merch started appearing thanks to Drizzy’s friends on the innanets.
Aligning with some of the items that appeared in the video, additional branded pieces include a cap with a red lipstick mark and socks with embroidered hearts on the neck.

Some of the newly revealed pieces include a Nike bomber jacket with hearts embroidered across the body (we saw Drake in the video in both the Black and pink iterations of this jacket), a gray hoodie with "CLB" inscribed on the chest, and what looks to be a shirt with cupid in a ski mask, because poetic.
