ApeChain has launched its first limited edition digital collectible patch in collaboration with CoolkicksLA, marking a new phase in sneaker culture moving on-chain. The patch serves as an access pass to future drops, exclusive giveaways, and rare sneaker releases. Users can collect the Sole of ApeChain patch simply by signing up with their email, making it accessible to a broad audience beyond traditional Web3 users. This initiative aims to bring grassroots sneaker culture onto the blockchain with low-cost or free digital items, contrasting with the high-priced NFTs commonly seen in the market. The collaboration with CoolkicksLA and the use of ApeChain's platform, including features like Glyph that enable quick minting with single sign-on and hidden wallets, is designed to make NFT collecting more approachable and appealing to sneaker enthusiasts.
