Drake debuts Charles Oakley and Midnight Madness 8s + Multi-Color 4s.

Drake took to instagram last night to unveil another exclusive shipment from Jordan Brand, and once again it was a trio of sneakers that have not yet released and likely will not release. 

Among the kicks featured in Drake's most recent sneaker-centric IG video are a rare "Multi-Color" Air Jordan 4 sample, a "Kentucky Blue Midnight Madness" Air Jordan 8 PE and a special Charles Oakley inspired Air Jordan 8 sample.

According to Sole Collector, the "Multi-Color" 4s apparently first surfaced years ago, although the sample colorway never made it to retail. As for the black and blue Air Jordan 8s, this isn't the first time we've seen a University of Kentucky Wildcast inspired pair - Drake debuted the "Calipari Pack" a while back - but this pair is different in that it includes UK branding on the crossing straps as well as metallic gold accents.

Arguably the most intriguing sneaker of the bunch is the Air Jordan 8 Charles Oakley PE which comes in a Toronto Raptors themed color scheme, complete with "OAK" branding and his #34. While Oakley is best known for his days playing with the New York Knicks, he had a brief stint with the Raptors from 1998-2001. He never wore the Air Jordan 8, or any Air Jordans for that matter, during his playing career which makes this player edition colorway extra special.

This isn't the first time that Drake has showed off some extremely rare Air Jordans on his instagram account, he previously revealed a couple of snakeskin Air Jordan 11s as well as a never before seen "Tokyo" Air Jordan 5 sample. We won't get our hopes up that any of these sneakers will ever release but the way Jordan Brand rolls out a new pair of retro Js seemingly every weekend, there's a [slim] chance one of these hits retailers in the future.
