PUMA and 10KTF Collaborate: Introducing "Grailed PUMA Slipstreams"
According to previous reports, 10KTF is an interactive digital platform dedicated to creating various peripherals for blue-chip NFT projects. Currently, they have collaborated with 21 NFT projects. By holding NFTs from these collaborative projects and preparing the necessary materials, one can have the protagonist, Mr. Wagmi-san, in the world of 10KTF, forge exclusive peripherals and wear them in the metaverse for display.
What sets 10KTF apart is that they do not announce the development direction of the projects but instead push the overall project development forward through storytelling on a weekly basis.
In their collaboration with PUMA this time, after taking shelter in a temple following a harsh sandstorm, Wagmi-san sketched sneakers on a mural of barefoot PUMAs in the temple as a gesture of gratitude. This inspired the redesign of PUMA's classic styles.
According to Yuga Labs' announcement, the PUMA sneaker NFT series released in this event is called "Grailed PUMA Slipstreams," totaling 2,000 units. They will be based on the classic "PUMA Slipstream" and customized around the 21 NFT projects in collaboration with 10KTF, with plans for future physical handmade sneaker exchanges.
How to Obtain PUMA Handmade Sneakers?
To acquire this NFT, one must first register on the NFT issuance website Premint. However, registrants must own any of the following NFTs, including PUMA Nitro, Gucci Grail, or completed 10KTF Level 1 or Level 2 items. After registration, one can purchase a casting pass and select shoe size on the 10KTF official website starting at 3:00 AM on April 28th (Taiwan time). The purchase price has not been disclosed.
From May 2nd to May 9th, the casting pass can be exchanged for Grailed PUMA Slipstreams NFT, usable on the 10KTF ecosystem and their PFP activity platform Battle.Town. Additionally, due to the time needed for handmade sneakers, physical shoes are expected to be shipped in the winter of this year.
"Grailed Slipstreams are designed to take you anywhere. You can wear them at work, at home, in Battle.town, and elsewhere," said Yuga Labs.
