adidas Originals<\/a><\/strong> has announced its foray into the metaverse with their first NFT drop “Into the Metaverse”<\/strong>, teaming up and inspired by icons of the NFT community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Created with NFT pioneers Bored Ape Yacht Club, gmoney, and the team behind PUNKS Comic, the NFT will provide access to virtual wearables for the blockchain-based gaming world, The Sandbox, plus physical products as well. adidas has also purchased a Bored Ape Yacht Club NFT named Indigo Herz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

adidas Confirmed members were given the chance to redeem a POAP<\/a> (Proof of Attendance Protocol) NFT status badge a few weeks ago which commemorated their presence at the start of adidas’ Metaverse journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The four-way collaboration was then celebrated in both digital and physical versions of PUNKS Comic Issue 2, featuring Indigo Herz, gmoney, and CryptoPunk Courtney styled in the collection; all available physically to owners of the NFT.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs part of our ambition to celebrate ideas that are defining a new age of originality, we’ve landed at the forefront of creativity, which is the open Metaverse,\u201d said Vice President of adidas Originals Marketing and Communications Erika Wykes-Sneyd. \u201cIt’s a natural place for adidas Originals to enter: a wild world where possibilities are truly limitless and where anyone can express and be rewarded for their most original ideas.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The NFTs are on sale on December 17th at adidas.com\/metaverse<\/a> and will cost 0.2 ETH. Digital and physical wearables will be available for Into the Metaverse NFT owners in 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
