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.

Via NBA Drop

Space Runners has its eye on NBA stars for its first collection. The Broken Shoe collection is aimed at an encrypted fan base and includes 10,000 NFT pieces. The price of 5 SOL Mints, which is well above the market average, seems appropriate for the brand’s first collection of digital luxury shoes.

Space Runners announces that they have reached an agreement with Kyle Kuzma on the collection and is expected to add another very important NBA star before its debut.

Future steps

The deal with NBA star Kyle Zuma is just the beginning. Space Runners plans to partner with artists and fashion designers, celebrities and fashion houses. The role of celebrities is critical to the growth of this space as they will help establish digital fashion that will be accepted by the public.

For users, Space Runners will provide an omnidirectional marketplace where they can trade NFTs. To this end, they will partner with NFT platforms and other online platforms to create virtual characters for users.

Another important development that is being worked on is an augmented reality interface. It is being developed to enable people to wear their NFT in the VR room. 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.

Co-founder Free beach “The ultimate mission is to build the #WearToEarn ecosystem and become the largest clothing brand in cyberspace.” In the coming months, Space Runners will achieve this goal by introducing the RUN token, which unlocks decentralized financial tools (DeFi) and the Brand helps become a decentralized autonomous organization center (DAO) for the digital fashion community.

summary

The NFT space is still in the making and much of its potential remains untapped. Companies like Space Runners are taking the bold steps to define and evolve space. Partnering with brands and celebrities will bring them and the NFT space more exposure.

In the future, these collaborations will include many more stars and celebrities from different fields. It will help the NFT space grow while also proving to be quite profitable for early adopters. The Space Runners community will certainly play a big role in shaping the future of NFT and digital art.
