Gutter Cat Gang, the pioneering Web3 streetwear brand, has partnered with Puma and NBA star LaMelo Ball to debut the 'GutterMelo MB.03' NFT sneaker collection, set to drop June 29 on OpenSea. This collaboration, which includes real-life shoe counterparts, is poised to redefine basketball apparel and digital fashion.
This groundbreaking collaboration gives hoopers a platform to showcase their unique sense of style both on and off the court while spotlighting the power of web3 technology and digital collectibles. And for those who can't get enough of the digital world, each buyer of the NFT sneakers will also receive a physical counterpart to show off in the real world.
Early access registration for the GutterMelo MB.03 drop is now open on @PreMint, but supply is limited. Those who get on the allowlist can snag these exclusive sneakers for a steal: $175 for participants in early access and $195 for the waitlist. After that, the price will jump to $215 for the public sale.
This sneaker collection represents a new era for hoops apparel and fashion and has been designed by Ball as a part of MB, a fashion collaboration with Puma, as per its website. This unique collection adds a touch of splendor to any ensemble, making it a must-have fashion accessory.
And it's not just the basketball world that's buzzing with excitement. In recent months, we've watched streetwear and sneakers emerge as key players in the digital fashion space. With Nike's Web3 platform Swoosh raking in over $1 million in sales and Adidas launching its own NFT series, it's clear that there's a hunger for digital fashion that's here to stay.
In April, Adidas also made its Web3 debut by releasing its first series of NFTs associated with its Into the Metaverse ecosystem.
