Nike has revealed two latest NFT-associated lifestyle sneakers made in collaboration with Japanese artist Takashi Murakami. The sneakers come with two different Nike Air Force 1 styles: "Murakami Drip" and "Murakami DNA." The sneakers also come with digital collectibles, allowing owners of the NFT to forge the virtual collectible for a physical copy of the Murakami Air Force 1s.
The sneakers arrive in a custom style designed by Takashi Murakami in colorful signature motifs. Both sneaker styles feature white leather uppers, an exposed stitching design, and the standard Air Force 1 sole. Nevertheless, the uppers are filled with multi-colored patterns. The first pair of sneakers is covered in multi-colored smiling flowers, and the second pair features multi-colored green eyeballs with eyelashes. Both sneakers include RTFKT bolt, Nike logo branding, and Clone X lace dubraes. The forging period for the sneakers is between April 24 and May 8.
