Nike NFTs Face $5M Class-Action Lawsuit After Closing RTFKT

Nike is facing a class-action lawsuit from customers who bought its NFTs, accusing the company of selling ‘unregistered securities’ through its RTFKT project.

  • Buyers allege they were misled and claim the shutdown of RTFKT amounted to a ‘rug pull,’ saying they wouldn't have purchased the NFTs had they known the risks.

  • The lawsuit, filed in New York’s Eastern District, seeks over $5M in damages for alleged violations of consumer protection laws in New York, California, Florida, and Oregon.

  • Nike originally entered the NFT space by acquiring the digital sneaker company RTFKT in 2021, but it officially shut down the project earlier this year.

  • After RTFKT shut down, the project was left in the hands of a single person, Samuel Cardillo, which underscores the complete collapse of Nike’s NFT efforts.
