Wilson Chandler Signs a Virtual Shoe Deal With NFT-Based Fashion Brand CryptoKickers

The future of NFT’s is here. Pro basketball player Wilson Chandler, who played 12 seasons in the NBA before heading to the Zhejiang Lions of the Chinese Basketball Association, has signed a completely virtual shoe deal with NFT-based fashion brand CryptoKickers, the company announced.

CryptoKickers stated the deal is the first of its kind.

“As soon as I discovered CryptoKickers, it was a no-brainer to collaborate with them,” Chandler said in a statement. “I’ve been in the crypto space for some time and recently became obsessed with NFTs. I think these guys are positioned to build a Nike-sized fashion business for virtual worlds.”

CryptoKickers co-founder Joey Flynn added:

“Beyond Wilson’s huge impact in the NBA, he is already a big part of the NFT community and is a champion for the technology and ideology behind it all. He was our dream collaborator. We reached out to him over Twitter and within days, a partnership was in place.”
