Adidas to Step Up Its Game With Token-Gated Sneaker Drops

During NFT Paris, the Web3 lead of Adidas implied that there are distinctive methods to incorporate cryptocurrency that go beyond the mere inclusion of a payment choice. Instead, the brand's focus is on building a community.

Here's What We Know:

• Adidas's Web Lead, Wykes-Sneyd, revealed currently exploring token-gated tactics as part of its larger Web3 strategy.

• Token-gated tactics would allow crypto communities to beat bots and avoid missing out on exclusive sneaker drops.

• Moreover, she stated that adding a payments plugin is not a "problem solver" due to their being no barriers to buying sneakers and clothes with fiat currency.

• Rather, the sneaker brand is looking into leveraging its early crypto experiences —promoting more communities and dropping unique collectibles in the future.
