There are plenty of ways that exercise has been gamified in the past and now, ASICS is looking to the future with a Move to Earn initiative developed in partnership with web3 company STEPN. This system is designed to record the step counts of users via a GPS-enabled mobile app and users with digital collectible NFT sneakers can earn tokens and other digital assets as they reach their fitness goals.
The limited-edition STEPN sneakers created by ASICS can be found in four sneaker types and two varieties, common or uncommon. These sneaker types represent all sorts of different kinds of active individuals, from walkers and joggers to runners. The sneakers themselves can also be leveled up with tokens and enhanced with NFT Gems to boost their performance.
