After launching its .Swoosh web3 platform in November, Nike is ready to unveil its first set of digital collectibles today. The company has announced the Our Force 1 (or OF1) series of "virtual creations" will be available to a select group with invitations on May 8th, while general access opens on May 10th. You can choose to buy one of two boxes — "Classic Remix" or "New Wave," and each will cost you $19.82 either way. You'll have to have an account on the Swoosh website and have minted your ID to get one of these, though.

Now to be clear, these aren't actual shoes you'd be getting. You're paying for a digital box to start, and you won't know what design you got either. On an undisclosed date after May 10th, Nike will reveal all the OF1 boxes at the same time, though you'll have the option of not opening the box and leaving it as a virtual Schrodinger's cat situation. Swoosh members will be alerted when that day comes, and each box comes with a 3D file that you can use to, say, export to other platforms (if compatible) and more.

There are over 100,000 "Nike Virtual Creations" in the OF1 collection, and they're mostly based on the Air Force 1. If you picked a Classic Remix box, you'll get a "favorite, classic archive AF1 released from 1982 to 2006" or "a more unique, custom AF1 with a nostalgic twist." Those who select New Wave will receive a "classic archive from 2007 or later" or "an expressive, custom AF1 with a more futuristic twist." There are also four designs from the winners of the company's previous "Your Force 1" contest that are in the mix across both types of boxes.

Like Nike explained when it launched .Swoosh, these digital collectibles aren't just for online use. "In the near future," the company said, it "will introduce other new utilities and benefits... such as exclusive physical products or experiences."


Since its launch, .Swoosh has seen over 330,000 accounts created and on April 18th, about 106,453 members will be chosen at random to receive virtual posters via Airdrop. This will allow them early access to buying an OF1 box. Nike said its DEI and SC+I partners will be included in this Airdrop, along with "those who participated in the #OurForce1 challenge and/or registered at our .Swoosh Session tour stops." If you're a major Nike fan and are willing to part with $20 for a digital collectible with the possibility that it might get you early access to future product drops, you can register at swoosh.nike to be eligible to buy an OF1 on May 10th. Only those who have already minted their IDs before April 12th will be considered for early access.

So Nike is usually blockchain terminology to sell us digital pictures that aren’t actually on the blockchain and may or may not grant us the privilege of spending more money on actual things at a later unspecified date?

Correct.

When you signed up for Dot Swoosh, you were unfortunately signing up for digital products/NFT's/AI stuff.

 

[spicaly]

Thank you guys for breaking it down for the dinosaurs like myself

 

[dennistrane]

Yeah probably going be like the Murakami Nike nft collab shoes, You’re gonna have first dibs to buy the box to then “unbox” the nft to see if you get the “shoe” that you can physically buy at a later date

 

[sneakaprince]

I'm cool on all of this.

 

[lazybread]

Weird how they chose to use Airdrop to distribute the posters. So you have to have an iphone and be in close proximity to a Nike employee to get something?

 

[ahat]

This the one I got

Wow got the same one

 

[TooOlfForThisIsh]

A lot of people have been taken in by the NFT grift, but perhaps none more than Nike who seem to have invested millions under the mistaken believe that people actually care about NFTs beyond “lottery ticket”

No it’s nothing like that lmaoooo

An NFT airdrop is the distribution of an NFT to the public or whitelisted individuals, often for free.

Na they just sent emails.

Just another case of using special words to make it all seem more complicated than it actually is. Standard for the NFT space. Then they’ll have an FAQ page that actually adds confusion. All the people they get on the hook pretend to ‘understand’ it and deflect the criticism as just coming from those who “don’t get it”.

Similar tactics to what pyramid schemes have always used.

Either that or I just don’t get it.

 

[dennistrane]

I got a .Swoosh poster emailed to me (I'm on Android) and still have no idea what the "digital box" is going to provide *shrug*

Anyway, here are the real, physical Pendleton IDs I'm wearing on my actual, human feet today:
