Just two days ago, Venezia FC and Drake's sub-label Nocta officially dropped their latest collaborative capsule, dubbed the 'Urban' collection, a compact 12-piece lineup that reads as both club merch and street-ready outerwear. Footy Headlines called it “a beautiful, classic retro vibe heavily inspired by early 2000s streetwear and sportswear trends,” and Hypebeast frames the release as part of a run of 25/26 season pieces that keep the “football club on the water” stylish off the pitch.

Beige tee The beige tee is the collection’s softer, everyday option—clean enough to pair under a track jacket or worn alone as a neutral base. Like every item, it’s produced in two primary colorways and carries Venezia’s green and orange accents with gold-metallic Nocta and Venezia branding for a subtle luxe lift. Expect roomy, Y2K-friendly proportions that favor comfort over cling.

Burgundy tee The burgundy tee doubles down on the capsule’s richer palette; it’s the piece for anyone who wants the collection’s heritage energy without full tracksuit commitment. That deep burgundy base is described across coverage as a defining color for the drop, and on this tee the tone reads like sportswear nostalgia—worn with high-waisted jeans or matching burgundy track bottoms, it becomes the capsule’s easiest statement.

Beige long-sleeve polo The beige long-sleeve polo updates a traditional football wardrobe staple with a Y2K tilt: oversized cut, sporty collar, and branded details that feel intentional rather than corporate. Footy Headlines lists polos among the key pieces, and here the beige option serves as the lighter contrast to the darker tracksuit pieces. Layer it under a track jacket or let the collar peek for a preppy, off-pitch polish.

Burgundy long-sleeve polo In burgundy, the long-sleeve polo reads like a heritage piece—club-adjacent but fashion-first. The colorway leans into the collection’s “classic retro vibe,” making it an ideal layering piece with the black/beige jackets or monochrome with matching bottoms. The silhouette’s relaxed cut keeps the look modern and comfortable.

Black track jacket The black track jacket is one of the capsule’s visual anchors: bold color-blocking, oversized silhouette, and the striking scripted “Venezia” text across the back, which Footy Headlines flagged as “a particular highlight.” Executed with gold-metallic Nocta and Venezia branding and the collection’s signature green and orange accents, it reads as stadium-ready yet refined for streetwear rotation.

Burgundy track jacket The burgundy track jacket trades the black version’s restraint for a richer, statement hue: it’s the jacket that sells the capsule’s Y2K revival. Hypebeast describes the tracksuits as being “executed in sophisticated, classic black and rich burgundy color schemes,” and the burgundy jacket plays that brief perfectly—visually strong, intentionally retro, and built to pair with either the black/beige or matching burgundy bottoms.

Black shorts The black shorts translate the tracksuit aesthetic into warm-weather territory with the same bold blocking and oversized fit language found across the range. Listed among the 12 items, they’re the seasonal piece that lets the Urban capsule sit between athleisure and match-day casual. Team accents and metallic branding keep them unmistakably part of the Venezia collaboration.

Burgundy shorts Burgundy shorts mirror the black pair but with a club-forward color punch; worn with the burgundy tee or jacket they form an immediate coordinated set. The two-colorway approach means every silhouette can be worn in either tonal or contrasting combos—Venezia green and orange accents tie both shorts options back to the club’s identity.

Black track pants Track pants in black bring the capsule’s oversized, comfortable proportions to life—constructed to be worn with the black track jacket for a classic tracksuit silhouette or alone with the beige tee for softer contrast. Footy Headlines emphasises that “the range focuses on bold color-blocking and comfortable, oversized fits reminiscent of Y2K fashion,” and these pants are where that brief feels most functional.

Burgundy track pants The burgundy track pants complete the burgundy tracksuit set and are the capsule’s most literal nod to late-90s/early-2000s football fashion. They’re a natural pairing with the scripted jacket back and the gold-metallic branding, and they’re the piece that will register with anyone chasing the era’s relaxed, coordinated look.

Black sweatpants The black sweatpants soften the capsule’s sporty edge into everyday comfort—chunkier, cozier, and ideal for running errands or traveling to a match. Produced in two colorways like everything else, these sweatpants reinforce Nocta’s fashion-first take on club gear: wearable, slightly oversized, and finished with the collection’s signature accents to keep them unmistakably Venezia x Nocta.

Burgundy sweatpants The burgundy sweatpants close the capsule as the full burgundy loungewear option, a practical but considered endcap to the 12-piece drop. With the same gold-metallic Nocta and Venezia branding and club green and orange highlights, they’re ready to be styled as part of a coordinated set or as the tonal counterpart to the black/beige polo and tees—an easy, seasonless piece that carries the collection’s Y2K DNA into everyday dressing.

This Urban capsule arrives amid a wider NOCTA x Venezia creative program for the 25/26 season: Hypebeast notes NOCTA is “officially continuing its highly celebrated partnership with Italian Serie B football club Venezia FC,” and SoccerBible has framed other recent drops—like the 25/26 Special Edition Fourth Jersey designed by Drake Ramberg and the Lion Camo Rain Jacket—as part of a campaign that blurs the line between football, fashion and cultural storytelling. If you want a concise way to buy into that narrative, Footy Headlines pointed readers to where these pieces live: “the entire collection is currently available for purchase on the official online stores of both Nocta and Venezia.”

Taken together, the 12 items read less like branded merch and more like a deliberately curated capsule: two complementary palettes, gold-metallic signatures, and a shared Y2K silhouette language that makes the wardrobe wearable both on match day and off it. The Urban collection proves the Nocta–Venezia partnership is no one-off stunt—it’s a continuing creative program that treats club identity as a style language.
