With the growing buzz around things like NFTs and the Metaverse, it’s no surprise that a behemoth like StockX would have started to look into the space.
If you visit StockX’s NFT section on their website, they have an amazing information section about what they’re actually doing.
StockX’s “Vault” of current NFT projects:
What’s the Point?
You’re probably wondering what the point of an NFT sneaker is. Why would I just want an image of a sneaker? Why would I pay hundreds of dollars for it?
Well, StockX has tied the physical sneaker to the NFT! According to StockX themselves:
Each Vault NFT is tied to the same physical item, stored in our brand new, climate-controlled, high-security vaults inside StockX facilities.
This is HUGE news! What StockX has done is essentially remove the physical aspect of reselling, and created a true stock market for sneakers.
You don’t have to worry about fees or shipping, you don’t actually touch the sneaker! Say you think a Jordan 1 will rise in value, you buy the NFT and sell it once you’ve made your profit. This is the big reason why StockX is now selling NFTs.
Future Implications for Reselling!
StockX has totally changed the game and made it more efficient to resell than ever.
As StockX develops its NFT program, and other companies follow suit, it is only a matter of time until reselling goes fully “metaversed”
Of course, physical shoes will always be around because some people want to wear sneakers. But for those of us looking to profit from a hyped release, sneaker NFT’s seems like the best option.
StockX also said they are planning on teaming up with creators to create unique NFTs that will only be available on StockX. They have also said they are working on potentially creating cryptocurrency payouts for sellers!
This is serious news and should be a big wake-up call to any resellers who haven’t paid attention to this space. This NFT project is important and going to be a catalyst for change, you better stay prepared!
More information will be coming as StockX announces it, so stay tuned!
