American retail clothing brand Pacsun is celebrating its 40th year with its first-ever NFT, which takes the form of the Pacsun logo. Channeling the relaxed spirit of California and its beautiful vistas, the non-fungible token is one-of-one item that's animated.
The opening bid for the Pacsun NFT started at $500 via OpenSea and its launch coincided with Giving Tuesday, serving to highlight the fact that the proceeds will go to the Fashion Scholarship Fund. Pacsun's support of this organization recalls their collaboration from earlier this year, a gender-neutral design competition. In 2022, the limited-edition collaboration created with the two FSF winners will debut.
This NFT isn't the brand's first foray into the world of cryptocurrency, in fact, it previously launched a partnership with BitPay to become the first youth fashion retailer to accept crypto.
