RTFKT’s website will also host a forging event between April 24 and May 8. During these dates, the sneaker NFT holders may order the physical versions, delivered in the fourth quarter of this year.
A statement on the official website reads: “Step into the future with RTFKT and Nike’s Air Force 1 collection: featuring limited edition designs by Tashi Murakami. Get the NFT to be able to get the physical sneakers on 4.24.23.”
