Nike and RTFKT officially team up in the Metaverse. The integration into web3 from the Swoosh comes after a series of acquisitions, trademarks, and even a lawsuit. Within the past few months, Nike has made its plans for the new digital frontier evident.

In December 2020, Nike acquired RTFKT Studios in an effort to combine sneakers, gaming, and culture. Less than a week ago, Nike filed a lawsuit in federal court against StockX and its NFT sales.

RTFKT Studios and Nike have finally released their first NFT with the “MNLTH” drop. Airdropped exclusively to Clone X and PodX holders, the NFT is as ominous as it was heavily anticipated.

The co-branded NFT is built with a dark metallic look with various patterns carved into it. The Nike Swoosh and RTFKT logos shine on the box, which houses an unknown object.

This is just the beginning of what RTFKT and Nike have in-store, especially with Nike’s plans of a virtual division, which was leaked through an internal email. According to the company-wide email, the virtual studios in Los Angeles and New York City will “build a focused team dedicated to building Nike, Inc.’s virtual products and experiences.”

Sole Savy is unreal! With a busy schedule it’s hard to keep up on shoes, and the group keeps me up to date on releases, tips on how to manually cop, and a marketplace with killer deals from fellow like minded collectors. It’s changed the sneaker game for me!

@SoleSavy is the truth. They've helped me cop kicks I never would've imagined getting at retail. Members always willing to assist on drops too. And most of all, a REAL community of REAL sneakerheads. These guys should be the gold standard for sneaker communities! #LifetimeMember

My membership paid for itself three fold by being solely responsible for my union 4’s, mesh sacai waffles, sacai blazers, court purple aj1s, glow in the dark yeezy 350s, travis scott lows (which I traded to get desert ore ow’s), air max 1 londons, bc3’s for way under retail etc.

Can't say enough about SS. The stellar help with copping shoes is a given but it's the community that makes it extra special. Hands down one of the best decisions I made as a wannabe sneakerhead.

The community of sneakerheads and resources available to help manually cop are great and really will help you get more Ws. The Zoom calls for hyped drops like Union Jordan 4 only adds to the camaraderie while providing real time instruction
