Today marks the official (re-)start of adidas web3 journey. With the /// studio team we worked hard since the official formation of the studio beginning of the year to create a new vision on how we show up in the space and how we live the values. We learned a lot since December 2021 and we are excited to finally bring some of our work to life. It is a special moment for me as well. As a product manager, I have always been amazed by the migration from thinking about users and consumers to involving community members and making them a co-creator, co-innovator, collaborator and ultimately also co-beneficiary of all we do. There is nothing like web3 in fostering a true co-creation. Back in February we introduced our /// council - a group of 15 dedicated individuals who truly care for their community peers. During the last weeks we have spent a lot of time working together and making the product, the communications around it and the experience better. I am proud with what we have achieved and looking forward for the next steps in this journey. Welcome to ALTS by adidas and adidas COLLECT. We are just getting started.

The NFT industry is not crashing. It is waking up. It is realizing that there needs to be actual use of that technology and not just arbitrage of imaginary value. It is the most exciting time to be in this space since the dotcom buble burst. Most of you were not born yet.

What the floor price is matters mostly to those looking to exit. For everyone else it is not more than an indication of what people are ready to pay to enter. What is important for every sustainable business is to have more people who want to enter than the ones who want to leave at any given time. This is the queue in front of the Supreme store in Soho in NYC. It tells a lot. Inevitably the NFT space will also regulate itself and the ones who create a desireable product with actual, not tied to imaginary value, benefits will be the ones who get to define the next evolution. There are a few but not many in the a space today trying to do that. In very different ways.

Two years ago we launched adidas Originals - Into the Metaverse. Initially we thought we will introduce a new way to drop physical product and nothing more. But then we realized that this space has much bigger potential to disrupt the connection between the physical and digital worlds. Two years later we are still building despite the setbacks in the NFT space and I cannot be more excited about our plans for 2024. We had to take a minute to recalibrate in the last 1-2 months, re-evaluate the long term strategy and ensure we are set up for success. This process is now largely done and we are ready to push for the next steps for ALTS by adidas, but also for more to come in 2024 for web3 and adidas. Bring it on!
OUR SECOND ANNIVERSARY! /// 🎉 Two years ago, we joined this wonderful space. So, today, we want to celebrate our 2nd anniversary and shed more light on our recent work behind the scenes. Let's dive in 🔻

Hello @imaarondoteth - your feedback is valid. ENS is a great tool and we'd love to support it in the future. The goal of the Golden Ticket raffle in #adidasCONFIRMED is to expose NFTs to a new community which may not yet be familiar with all the benefits of NFTs. Therefore, this time around we opted to use full wallet addresses as it helps us easier validate if an entry is valid. Overall, however, our commitment is to expand and support our web3 efforts and make the journey as smooth as possible. This means we will, in the future, for sure support ENS as well. Check out also our token gated drop in CONFIRMED where we use @tokenproof to power a seamless wallet integration.

Unlocking capabilities for token gated products within @adidas CONFIRMED is a huge huge huge step for the brand, but also for web-3 to reach main stream adoption. Millions of users are using CONFIRMED to shop hype products. If the only way to get a desirable product (e.g Indigo pack partner superstar or punks comic hoodie) is by holding a token, we will see many start to create wallets!

There are people on social media who hidden behind the profile pictures act as last instance, point fingers and feel entitled to use abusive language towards others. The first action to take is to respond with kindness to contrast the abusive behavior. The second - to ignore, as there won't ever be anything which you can do to please. Your time is not worth engaging with disruptive behavior. In a world where you can be anything, be kind.
