The cut for wearables will be shown live on Wednesday at 11:00 CET, 9:00 GMT, 5:00 ET, 2:00 PT. The mint window will be open until September 7 and physical counterfeiting of items will be open from September 7-14.
Prices for limited edition Air Force 1 sneakers range from $30 to $600, leaving some users unsatisfied. Twitter user “Lupoderoma98” said: “These prices must be a joke we are in the middle of a bear market and you guys are paying us .38 [ETH] for a shoe?? Come on we are loyal holders and you are just taking money out of our pocket. the only free merchandise is the shirt that looks like spiderman merch.”
Another Twitter user “clueless” agreed, saying: “Couldn’t agree more, most people are double figures in their purchases with clonex to boot, while they made a ton in commissions too, but they keep coming back for more money, from their holders. Charging full luxury retail prices.”
Whether it’s a cash grab or not, it’s clear there are plenty of other willing buyers as Nike racked up an impressive $185 million in revenue from NFT sales since acquiring RTFKT last year to expand its Web3 strategy. The sportswear titan tops the list of brands that have generated the most sales from NFTs.
