Companies are increasingly focusing on creating phygital NFT-enabled sneaker drops to enhance user engagement, ensure product authenticity, and merge physical products with blockchain-based digital assets. Phygital sneaker drops combine limited-edition physical sneakers with linked NFTs, using technologies such as embedded chips and blockchain-based certificates to verify ownership, create digital twins, and unlock exclusive experiences. For example, in August 2023, A Bathing Ape, a Japanese streetwear brand, and Adidas AG, a German sportswear manufacturer, released the Forum 84 BAPE Low Triple-White “Fresh Forum” sneaker drop, where only 100 NFTs were auctioned via Adidas COLLECT. Each NFT was tied to a corresponding pair of physical sneakers and its digital counterpart, with near-field communication (NFC) chips and NFT access passes providing tamper-resistant digital certificates of authenticity and a verifiable ownership history. This release model, which created scarcity and enhanced the secondary market, positioned both brands as leaders in Web3 innovation by transforming sneakers into programmable assets capable of unlocking future utilities, cross-brand collaborations, and metaverse-ready wearable experiences.
