You can visit our collection on OpenSea!

Impact

Our collection/brand became a bridge between shoe & NFT cultures. We partnered with 3 up-and-coming sneaker customizers so they could turn our digital NFTs into physical versions and ship them to our customers. This paved the way for sneaker customizers to enter and expand their presence in the digital world, and diversify/increase their revenue streams.

Some highlights of our NFT collection I designed… 4 models, each with different color-ways, stands and decorations

Glimpse of our Discord community, creating a space for Sneaker & NFT fans to come together
