Nike Releases “Our Force 1” Polygon NFT Sneakers On .Swoosh

Athletics and lifestyle apparel brand Nike is releasing its first-ever drop on the .Swoosh Web3 community platform. The Web3 platform will host the digital sneaker collection as Polygon-based NFTs.

Aptly named as the “Our Force 1 (OF1)” collection, this drop pays homage to the legendary Nike Air Force 1 sneakers launched 41 years ago. The OF1 drop will have two distinct types of virtual sneaker boxes: Classic Remix and New Wave. Classic Remix boxes will contain the virtual Air Force 1 shoes inspired by designs released between 1982 and 2006, while New Wave boxes will showcase pairs designed from 2007 and beyond. Additionally, Classic Remix boxes will include unique, customized AF1s with a “nostalgic twist,” and New Wave boxes will feature custom, expressive AF1s boasting a more “futuristic twist.”

Old sole, new story.

According to Nike, they will be selling the virtual sneaker boxes for $19.82 USD, a reference to the year of the original Air Force 1’s debut. What’s disheartening here is that Nike has decided to launch these NFTs but will ironically not accept payments from any crypto in exchange for the NFTs. In February, Nike revealed that it had selected four virtual shoe designs by .Swoosh members to be featured in the OF1 drop. Nike’s designers have since collaborated with those community members to bring their ideas to life on the blockchain. These fan co-created designs will be randomly distributed among both Classic Remix and New Wave boxes.
