Nike Drops First-Ever NFT Sneaker Collection on .Swoosh

After months of anticipation, 耐克 is finally dropping its first-ever non-fungible token (NFT) collection on its Swoosh Web3 community platform. Dubbed Our Force 1 (OF1), the collection features virtual sneaker NFTs inspired by the iconic Nike Air Force 1 sneaker that revolutionized the footwear industry over four decades ago.

But this is not your ordinary NFT release. The OF1 drop offers two types of virtual sneaker boxes: Classic Remix and New Wave. The Classic Remix boxes are designed to pay homage to Air Force 1 shoes released between 1982 and 2006, while the New Wave boxes showcase pairs created from 2007 onwards. And get this - each box will only cost $19.82 USD, a nod to the year when the original Air Force 1 was first introduced to the world.

That's not all - Nike has added a unique twist to this already exciting release. The Classic Remix boxes will feature customized AF1s with a "nostalgic twist," while the New Wave boxes will showcase expressive AF1s with a "futuristic twist." But the most thrilling part? Nike has not placed a cap on the number of OF1 NFTs available for minting.

And for those who want to get their hands on these exclusive virtual sneaker boxes, Nike is ensuring a fair chance for everyone. On April 20, the company will start distributing virtual AF1 posters to randomly selected Swoosh members. These posters will act as a key to unlock an OF1 box NFT, which members can then mint starting May 8. On May 10, the entire .Swoosh community will be able to purchase OF1 boxes.
