We’re just a few months removed since RTFKT and Nike released their first joint NFT project and now, the duo has tapped legendary Japanese artist Takashi Murakami for its next drop.
Shown here is the “Murakami Drip” RTFKT x Takashi Murakami x Nike Air Force 1 Low that’s part of the NFT company’s Forging SZN 1 collection of virtual products. There are 10 different collections as part of this drop including Clone X, Human, Robot, Demon, Angel, Reptile, Undead, Alien, while Murakami will be the only entity in the group with two capsules. Holders of the respective NFTs will be able to forge the pieces from the specific collections, which means that the “Murakami Drip” Nike Air Force 1s will only be available to Murakami NFT holders.
The minting of RTFKT’s Forging SZN 1 NFT collection kicked off yesterday, with the option to claim the physical products to be announced at a later date. At the time of writing, the current asking price for the “Murakami Drip” Nike Air Force 1 is 0.53 ETH, which converts to $813.02.
UPDATE (04/25): Following the initial minting of the RTFKT x Takashi Murakami x Nike Air Force 1 collection in September, Nike has now unveiled how fans can acquire a physical version of the sneakers.
