On Friday, digital fashion brand RTFKT Studios revealed Nike CryptoKicks, a new collection of customizable non-fungible token (NFT) sneakers. This was RTFKT’s first big sneaker release since Nike acquired it in December.
A distinctive aspect of the collection is the shoe, the RTFKT Nike.Genesis, is separate from the ‘skins’ that change the look and coloring, which for now are created by well-known designers.
