adidas and STEPN GO have furthered their partnership with the release of the 'STEPN GO x adidas Ultraboost 5,' marking a significant step as the first-ever co-branded physical running shoes. This collaboration follows the success of their earlier 'STEPN GO x adidas Genesis NFT Sneakers.' With only "1,200 pairs available, the Ultraboost 5 features the STEPN GO logo and symbolizes the transition from digital fashion to tangible, real-world products."
The release of these shoes highlights the evolving nature of fashion, where digital designs move into physical form, offering consumers a new way to experience and interact with fashion. The STEPN GO x adidas Ultraboost 5 demonstrates how digital-first brands can bring their concepts into the physical world, bridging the gap between the virtual and real-life fashion.
Available exclusively on the MOOAR marketplace from December 13, this limited-edition release is reserved for holders of the STEPN and 'STEPN GO x adidas Genesis Sneakers,' further emphasizing "innovation and movement."
