NBA star Kyle Kuzma releases first NFT shoe brand for Metaverse
Press release
One of the NBA’s biggest stars of the moment, Kyle Kuzma, recently announced its partnership with Space Runners, a company that designs and markets non-wearable tokens (NFTs) for practically wearable sneakers.
Space Runners is a unique digital sneaker brand in the NFT space, with a focus on NFT shoes that are easy to interact with beyond fashion designs. The company is growing with the vision of entering the apparel category in the NFT world by delivering the most immersive digital sneaker experience ever. They bring together state-of-the-art fashion designers, fashion houses, top celebrities and the crypto community to create the “Wear2Earn ecosystem”.
As their first batch, the Space Runners will release their NBA themed collection called “Broken Shoe,” in which basketball superstars bring out some iconic couples. The NFTs in this batch are hosted on the Solana blockchain and can be carried via the browser with Virtual Reality (AR) functionality. The company will also make social media filters available for platforms like Instagram and Snapchat to make NFT more accessible. Soon we can expect more influencers to be posing and sharing with Runner NFTs!
Another attractive feature is that the NFTs are embedded in virtual spaces such as games and metaverse. Each section has some intangible properties like speed, stability, and performance that are consistent with the nature of online interactions. These things are added to the avatar when it is equipped by the owner.
The future of shoes: Metashoes
By combining NFT with shoes, Space Runners wants to become the future of shoes. They partner with brands and celebrities to easily access the NFT space by simply offering them “NFT as a Service”. Companies that have successfully done this include Dolce & Gabbana, Burberry, and Louis Vuitton. Space Runners enables large corporations to host huge NFT collections, in which each object is a unique piece of art created in collaboration with artists and celebrities. .
Space Runners received a seed capital investment with an initial valuation of $ 30 million. When big brands like Adidas step into the space, they have the potential to change the space forever. You will be able to publish unique Space Runners collections immortalized on the blockchain.
We know that popular shoe brand Nike recently jumped into the Metaverse game. However, given the nature, features, investors and partners of cryptocurrencies, space runners could be the Nike of the digital world.

To access the platform, users need to scan a QR code with their smartphone. They can then use their camera to take photos and create videos to share with friends online.
The long-term plan is to work with major platforms such as Instagram and Snapchat. These platforms allow users to share their NFTs as filters with others on social media. In this way, they can set trends, increase their demand and increase their value.
