Numerous Metaverse initiatives and NFT programs aim to blur that line between physical and virtual worlds. Sneakmart’s Metakicks NFT drop offers something virtual to sneaker enthusiasts, as well as the chance of winning physical items. To tokenize limited edition footwear, the team collaborates with StockX as well as top-rated artists and football players.
Metakicks Coming In June
Sneakmart has a solid reputation thanks to its mobile app that is community driven for streetwear lovers. They see value in the NFT phenomenon, and its potential benefits to the $6 billion sneakers retail market. Because of the high competition, it has been difficult to access limited-edition sneaker drops in physical form. As a result, one has a very small chance of “getting in” on these drops today.
It is difficult to change this narrative, because limited editions of tokens are very rare. Non-fungible tokens are a way to improve the accessibility and utility of these collections. Metakicks NFT by Sneakmart will have 6,250 mystery box, with a 10% chance for its owner to get a special edition pair of sneakers. The virtual sneakers, tokenized as NFTs, can be used to customize one’s Metaverse avatar.
StockX and the collaboration will allow for the shipment and delivery of 625 pairs physical sneakers. StockX, the world’s leading streetwear platform, will deliver Dunk Lows and Jordan 4s as well as Adidas Yeezy 350s and Adidas Yeezy 350s for lucky customers. Twenty-five unique models and two Jordan 1 Dior pair, as well as two Jordan 1 Dior Jordan pairs will all be given new homes. Over $200,000. is the total worth of all physical pairs.
Metakicks also has the opportunity to collaborate with international players such as Didier Droga and Kinsley Coman. These rare kicks will go up for bidding in OpenSea just before the Metakicks NFT collection goes down in June 2022. The winners of the auctions will receive tangible benefits including meet-and greet opportunities and VIP access at soccer games. Metakicks is open to other 1-of-1 relationships with Web3 and brands.
Over A Dozen Unique Designs
Metakicks’ first collection will include 15 designs that feature unique 3D animated shoes. You can also choose from a variety of backgrounds, colors, materials and textures. Inspiration for these unique assets comes from Sneakmart’s expertise in buying, reselling, and collecting iconic pairs of sneakers. Additionally, the designs have four rarity tiers – rare, super rare, epic, and legendary – based on their designs, shape, texture, and materials.
No matter what virtual design is drawn, there are no links between virtual sneakers and physical shoes. This adds an additional level of excitement and randomness. Metakicks NFT holders don’t have to open the mystery box. They can keep it shut if they wish. The box will still contain the information that a winner of a physical couple won.
Sneakmart brings a different spin to the ever-popular shoe industry. This industry’s resale segment is valued at more than $6 billion in 2019. It has seen explosive growth. Collectors and enthusiasts will be able to discover a whole new world with NFTs that are tied to real-world experience and the possibility to win sneaker pairs. The importance of fashion is also highlighted in the Metaverse and Web3 ecosystems.
