Some have asked me why I'm so into @RTFKTstudios, and what is going on. So I've decided to put together a thread..

The @RTFKTstudios Story So Far / aka Why I'm So Bullish About @RTFKTstudios @Nike

Hope it's useful for those looking to get involved!

Read on.. 🧵🧵🧵
@RTFKTstudios @Nike 1/15

I think @RTFKTstudios has set the bar of what it means to be a successful NFT project. They have done in 4 months what some other brands will take years to achieve. Their playbook is what other brands will look at, and also what you - as a collector - should look at:
@RTFKTstudios @Nike 2/15

For ease of understanding I've split the playbook into 3 aspects - Art, Community, and Utility. A-C-U. Remember them:
@RTFKTstudios @Nike 3/15

Art - and Identity

Put simply, the CloneX art is just beautiful. Look at the awesome rendering, and also the different DNA types and traits, from their facial features to the items. The DNA/traits also allow collectors to vibe & identify with their avatars. Image
@RTFKTstudios @Nike 4/15

Art - Collab with Murakami

The collab with renowned contemporary artist @takashipom is genius. With Murakami DNA and Drips, some of the CloneXs look amazing. Beyond that, this will bridge the NFT and art world, making it more mainstream. Check out ImageImage
@RTFKTstudios @Nike @takashipom 5/15

Airdrops

This is A-C-U all in one. Look at the chart. If you got in early and minted a Meta Pigeon early for $1, you would have at least gotten airdrop for free 3xMintVials/CloneXs, 3xSpacePods, 3xLootPods, & 3xMNLTHs, today worth at least 70 ETH.. (cont) Image
@RTFKTstudios @Nike @takashipom 6/15

Airdrops

..more imptly, this creates more art, more community, more utility. @RTFKTstudios has said more airdrops, which means lower entry points for new entrants and $ upside for existing community. Community becomes advocates, and the community grows. Cycle repeats.
@RTFKTstudios @Nike @takashipom 7/15

Community - Building PodX Ecosystem

@RTFKTstudios has also worked with @oncyber_io to create metaverse-spaces. With the SpacePod and LootPod, you can hang NFT artwork and design your own space. All on a browser + wallet. Shameless plug for my space: oncyber.io/ycxccloud ImageImageImage
@RTFKTstudios @Nike @takashipom @oncyber_io 8/15

Community - Creator, Collectors, Curators

With the PodX ecosystem, creators have spawned double quick time, creating pod skins and items for both the Space and LootPods. This has created more community interaction. Check out some of them: @beb_eth @ArtbyCrea @Toprak3d
@RTFKTstudios @Nike @takashipom @oncyber_io @beb_eth @ArtbyCrea @Toprak3d 9/15

Community – Questing

With the airdrop of the #MNLTH, @RTFKTstudios started "questing" - a series of mathematical puzzles around the MNLTH and Pods where community finds clues to get to the answer. This is in the lead up to the MNLTH reveal, adding to the anticipation. ImageImageImageImage
@RTFKTstudios @Nike @takashipom @oncyber_io @beb_eth @ArtbyCrea @Toprak3d 10/15

Community + Utility - Sandbox Game

@RTFKTstudios x @TheSandboxGame to create Metadungeon game with release on 15 March, where the questing will cont. Holders of CloneX will have their voxel avatar in game, but anyone can join. Building interop utility across diff spaces. Image
@RTFKTstudios @Nike @takashipom @oncyber_io @beb_eth @ArtbyCrea @Toprak3d @TheSandboxGame 11/15

Utility – Whitelist with Murakami Drop

While the collab with Murakami continues with CloneX, @takashipom will have his own Flower art NFT drop, and Murakami-drip CloneXs are whitelisted.. what a bonus to an exclusive and prob oversubscribed collection! Image
@RTFKTstudios @Nike @takashipom @oncyber_io @beb_eth @ArtbyCrea @Toprak3d @TheSandboxGame 12/15

Utility – Access to Gagosian Exhibition?

@RTFKTstudios x @takashipom x @Gagosian will have a joint exhibition around the CloneX in NYC in May. There could be access to events / parties / "special thing" only for CloneX holders. Regardless, #CloneXfam is hyped for it! Image
@RTFKTstudios @Nike @takashipom @oncyber_io @beb_eth @ArtbyCrea @Toprak3d @TheSandboxGame @Gagosian 13/15

Community - CloneX Ecosystem

The ecosystem play is not over, with CloneX ecosystem promised with items and wearables. Is this what the MNLTH will reveal? Regardless, it opens up a whole new creative space and marketplace. Image
@RTFKTstudios @Nike @takashipom @oncyber_io @beb_eth @ArtbyCrea @Toprak3d @TheSandboxGame @Gagosian 14/15

Utility - Forging

Speaking of items, @RTFKTstudios has also promised forging events, where its NFTs are forged into irl items. This will start from the Space Drips, but will it extend to the CloneX and future items and wearables? With the @Nike machinery behind it... 🤯 Image
@RTFKTstudios @Nike @takashipom @oncyber_io @beb_eth @ArtbyCrea @Toprak3d @TheSandboxGame @Gagosian 15/15

And that's only what has been announced.. in 4 months! Imagine what more will come for the rest of the year, and beyond. @RTFKTstudios has promised more things in the pipeline we don't know about. Imagine!

1/10 Imagine…

👟🧵👇🏻 Image
2/10 Claude Monet's enchanting art meets the iconic @Nike Air Force 1s in a game-changing collaboration. The innovative Monet and Nike's creative team join forces to create something extraordinary. 🎨👟🤝 Image
3/10 The design process began with both sides studying each other's work. They explored methods to transfer Monet's Water Lilies brushstrokes onto the sneakers, experimenting with hand-painting and digital printing. 🖌️🔍📚 Image

On the recent PvP wars, just want to say a few things:

I think there is a difference between expressing thoughts for improvement vs kicking people when they are down and wishing the worst for them.

🧵👇
The former - totally valid and healthy, and that's how we move forward in the space, by healthy competition, encouraging improvement and innovation.
The latter - I've seen nuff in life to know that karma strikes in a very real way - because people don't forget. If you are kind to them, they remember, and they come back to you in kindness. Conversely, if you are mean to others, you'll find yourself very alone when you need it.

✅ About .SWOOSH 🏃‍♂️

.SWOOSH is a platform for @Nike's virtual creations, for them to be more accessible and to onboard the next millions into the wonderful world of web3 and digital assets.

🧵👇 Image
.SWOOSH is a different initiative and it does not change Nike’s support and work with @RTFKT as a native web3 brand, for current assets and future plans in the pipeline. In fact, it is a bridge that we can use to welcome more people to our community and ecosystem.
Moreover, Nike and RTFKT will look for potential points of collaboration to enhance our ecosystem.

Clones will soon get access for .SWOOSH ID registration, so that they can participate in the ecosystem.

Nike releases will also be digital wearables for Clones.

For some reason, feeling kinda nostalgic about our @RTFKTstudios #MNLTH questing already.. want to put things down for posterity. These moments shall be past, but will always be present in our hearts, as we move into the future...

A thread 🧵🧵🧵👇

It’s a gm for @RTFKTstudios! @Nike had their earnings call few days ago, with better-than-forecasted growth - 5% yoy. Also has shoutout to @RTFKTstudios in the call - I’m extracting for the fam who don’t have time to read it all:

A thread 🧵🧵🧵
1/6

“NIKE's growth..will continue to be the result of 3 areas..first, connecting with consumers through our strong portfolio of brands; second, driving a relentless flow of new product innovation; and third, expanding our digital advantage to create the marketplace of the future
2/6

..Since its launch, a total of 6.7 million players from 224 countries have visited NIKELAND on Roblox. And we plan to continue driving energy there with virtual products like LeBron 19 styles special to Roblox.
