There's only one way for a sneakerhead to get their hands on a physical pair of sneakers from the NXTG3NZ collection and that's to purchase an NFT to gain exclusive access. This phygital sneaker collection co-founded by Platinum recording artist Lil Durk explores the intersection of technology and fashion with a new generation of digital wearables.
The collection itself was named to capture the essence of Next Generation Z and Web3 and it speaks to a new generation of sneaker collectors and fans. The NXTG3NZ project, supported by the Algorand blockchain, will be a public mint and available on a first-come, first-serve basis.
Adam Weitsman—a prominent billionaire figure in the recycling industry and mentor to Lil Durk—was gifted the first pair of physical sneakers.
