Adidas collaborates with BAPE, introducing rare sneakers with NFT counterparts for auction. This innovative venture merges fashion and digital collectibles and celebrates BAPE's 30th anniversary, amplifying Adidas' footprint in the NFT realm.

The highly anticipated Adidas Originals x BAPE NFT auction will take place over three days, starting on August 22. Collectors and sneaker enthusiasts alike are buzzing with excitement.

Creating an exclusive 'Fresh Forum' NFT pass is at the heart of this collaboration. This pass grants access to a remarkable combination of physical sneakers accompanied by their stylish digital counterparts. A true collector's dream!

Fans of both Adidas and BAPE can expect a limited collection of only 100 pairs of the sought-after Fresh Forum sneakers. These exclusive kicks have been designed to celebrate BAPE's 30th anniversary, making them even more desirable.

What sets these sneakers apart is the integration of an NFC chip, which allows wearers to unlock and claim their corresponding digital collectibles on the Ethereum blockchain. It's a seamless blend of the physical and digital worlds.

The auction will revolve around this NFT-based access pass, allowing lucky winners to own the physical sneakers and their digital twins. This marks Adidas' first-ever NFT auction, adding to the allure and significance of this event.

Holders of NFTs from Adidas 'Alts by Adidas: Soles Alt[er] Ego' collection and BAPE's '(B)Apetaverse' collection will receive exclusive benefits. It's an incredible opportunity to join these iconic brands' journey into the metaverse.

Redemption will be available for those eager to claim access passes starting September 26. Shipping of the physical sneakers is scheduled to commence in October, approximately two months after the conclusion of the auction. Patience will be rewarded!

The Adidas Originals X BAPE NFT auction comes on the heels of the successful launch of the Trefoil Flower NFT collection, a collaboration between Adidas and Fewocious. It further cements Adidas' commitment to exploring the limitless possibilities of NFTs.

Adidas joins a growing list of sportswear manufacturers and fashion brands entering the web3 world. Puma, Lacoste, and many others have recognized the enormous potential of NFTs and are stepping up their game.

With only 100 pairs of sneakers up for grabs, the outcome of this auction will undoubtedly be closely followed by NFT collectors worldwide. Don't miss your chance to own a piece of sneaker history combined with the cutting-edge world of digital art.
