The first-ever PUMA metaverse website experience was recently unveiled and it arrived with exclusive NFTs with limited-edition redeemable physical sneakers. This virtual portal coincides with the brand's FUTROGRADE show during New York Fashion Week and it will set the stage as a dynamic destination for consumers to visit over the course of the next few years. This hub will be home to "digital exploration across fashion, sport performance, our heritage classics and innovation."
The metaverse experience starts with a hyper-realistic digital lobby space with three separate portals; two portals will be accessible as of September 7th, 2022 and the third portal of Black Station will work as the entry to the digital NYFW metaverse fashion show.
