Web3 Sneaker Brands

'SOL3MATES' Aims to Redefine Luxury Footwear Through the Blockchain

— May 11, 2023 — Fashion
'SOL3MATES' is a newly-launched luxury streetwear and footwear brand aiming to integrate the industry with the benefits of web3. The company launched its inaugural SOL3MATES OG NFTs on May 4th at a price of $58 USD per NFT. There were only 10,000 NFTs created, each of which quickly sold out.

The holders of the SOL3MATES OG NFTs receive numerous benefits related to the company and its products, including early access to collections, pricing discounts, shipping discounts, and more. Interested customers can keep up to date with SOL3MATES through the brand's website or social media channels.

SOL3MATES will prioritize efficiency and sustainability in its process to offset the reputation of NFTs and web3 products being unsustainable and environmentally damaging. This extends from the design and production process to the materials used in the products and more.
