The German sportswear manufacturer Adidas (ADS) has entered the metaverse by purchasing a portion of land on The Sandbox map. This marks their first step into virtual reality and cryptocurrency for the brand.
Adidas was the first fashion brand to enter The Sandbox, a virtual reality that is part real estate and amusement park.
The Sandbox hinted that Adidas will offer virtual reality products.
“That’s something big because it is also a hint of what’s about to hit the fan in a couple of months in the NFT space: the Adidas sneakers and other branded virtual clothes, shoes and objects,”
Ipek Ozkardeskaya, senior analyst at Swissquote, as quoted by Reuters.
