Nike Introduces Dunk Genesis Sneakers with Built-In NFTs

Merging digital and physical fashion, Nike continues its foray into NFTs with the public presale of ‘Nike x RTFKT Dunk Genesis’ sneakers.

• Unlike previous drops, these new sneakers, priced at $222, are available without needing to own a costly NFT, making them more accessible.

• Each sneaker includes an NFC chip enabling owners to obtain digital collectibles, blending the physical product with digital assets.

• The sneakers also feature detachable parts for customization.

• Notably, earlier releases like the RTFKT x Nike Air Force 1 sneakers gained prominence, especially with endorsements from LeBron James.

Meta Queens and Prohibition Art's LGBTQ+ Diversity Mission

Matt Arnold (Meta Queens) and Jordan Lyall (Prohibition Art) collaborate to promote LGBTQ+ diversity in digital art.

• Under Arnold's leadership, Meta Queens fosters a supportive environment for LGBTQ+ digital artists, enhanced by its collaboration with Prohibition Art.

• The partnership seeks to celebrate diverse identities in digital art and raise funds for LGBTQIA+ non-profits like Trans Tech Social and Outright International, merging art with social activism.

• Now launched, the Meta Queens' art collection is available on Prohibition.Art for 0.1 ETH each.

  

  Vitalik Buterin Jester NFT Fetches $400K in Landmark Sale

  ‘EthBoy’, a digital painting of Vitalik Buterin as a jester, recently sold for a mighty 200 ETH (around $392,308) — significantly more than its original 2020 auction price.

• The sale reflects changes in the NFT market since 'EthBoy's' initial release during the 2021 NFT boom.

• Despite optional royalties on platforms like OpenSea, the buyer paid a 10% creator fee to Async Art.

• MaxStealth, the original owner, profited from the resale and received additional earnings from the creator fee.
