The booming sneaker collector market now includes sought-after phygital sneakers that combine physical and digital elements that elevate the experience of acquiring and owning limited-edition pairs. adidas teamed up with artist Fewocious for a limited-edition drop of 4,500 pairs of sneakers that must be first purchased digitally. After acquiring the Trefoil Flower Mint Pass, owners will get to redeem their pass for a pair of artist-designed physical adidas Originals Campus 00s.
The digital pass is not just a means of getting the sneaker, it also unlocks wearables for avatars in FewoWorld Fewo’s and ALTS by adidas. As adidas says, "The digital twin NFT that you mint will be an ERC721 token linked to the unique identifier of your shoe and can be verified through the NFC chip that will be attached to the hang tag on your physical shoes.”
