Apparel giant Puma and entertainment agency Roc Nation—founded by rapper Jay-Z as a follow-up to his legendary hip-hop label, Roc-A-Fella Records—have teamed up for a new sneaker collection that’s tied to NFTs and pays homage to the evolution of the mixtape.
The RS-XL Mixtape sneaker collection has been designed by Alexander-John and Emory Jones while the digital experience has been led by Legitimate, a startup bridging the gap between physical products and digital experiences through its proprietary “LGT Tag” technology.
The collection features three different mixtape-inspired sneaker styles, named Cassette Tape, Disc, and Playlist respectively. Each pair of sneakers features a unique blockchain-backed LGT Tag hidden under the tongue of the left shoe—a near-field communication (NFC) chip that can be scanned with a smartphone to unlock an exclusive digital content.
