Nike launched its new platform .Swoosh

Nike launched its new platform .Swoosh on November 18. This platform will allow users to not only buy, but also co-design and sell digital sneakers. Swoosh members will compete with the brand’s designers to create digital kicks and secure a share of the royalties. 

How this is going to work in detail, however, is not yet clear. The platform will initially focus on building community and setting “challenges” for members to get a sense of what they want to see. The brand’s first virtual collection – footwear, apparel and accessories will appear on Swoosh in January 2023

The goal is to offer a course center or an advice desk in the metaverse, as some elderly people are not so good on their feet anymore and it therefore makes sense to offer a meeting in the virtual world.

However, quick success is not expected – the focus is rather on seniors in the future, who could use these offers.
