Looking to up your virtual drip game?
Last week, sportswear giant Adidas released their Virtual Gear NFTs – a set of 16 metaverse-ready digital clothing items. Now, one week later, you can score one of these brand-new NFTs for 0.065 ETH, or around $80, at the time of writing.
Bored Ape, Mutant Ape and Inhabitants holders will be able to ‘dress up’ their NFTs with Virtual Gear through the use of a PFP tool, coming soon.
This Virtual Gear marks Phase 3 of Adidas’ Web3 venture, following the launch of Into The Metaverse in December 2021, and a capsule airdrop in May 2022.
Working with BAYC, Gmoney and Punks Comic once again – who each have exclusive Virtual Gear wearables – this continues Adidas’ efforts to bridge their real-world popularity into Web3.
Erika Wykes-Sneyd, VP of the adidas /// studio, said:
“With our community and creator ecosystem at the core, adidas will explore every viable utility, platform, and experience within Web3 to unlock new possibilities for our wearables, with a focus on tangible value and immutable utility for our community members.”
Nic Galway, Senior VP of Creative Direction for adidas Originals, added:
“Creatively, we’re extremely proud to say that this virtual collection represents more than just a historic first for adidas. It also represents an idea of wearable clothing that can transcend time and space, a community that is vividly diverse, and a level of utility that can be explored and even discovered as worlds and avatars take new forms.”
Exact details of how these metaverse wearables will function is unknown, though with BAYC creators Yuga Labs building Otherside, projects such as The Sandbox and Decentraland gaining in popularity, and cross-platform avatars such as Ready Player Me available, there’s no shortage of possibilities.
