Former Los Angeles Lakers champ, Metta World Peace, is bringing a brand new collection of sneakers to the virtual world through its new partnership with Blank Soles.

“Metta Designsoles,” is a series of limited edition Solana-based NFTs and physical sneakers.

“We have the NFT with the sneaker that comes with it. …Really excited about it, being out of the NBA for years and still being able to launch shoes. As you know, I’ve launched multiple pairs of shoes throughout my career having the entrepreneurial mindset,” says Metta.

Blank Soles says the new collection is inspired by Metta’s “spirit animal,” the panda and will feature 450 unique Metta Designsoles in the mint that takes from March 14 to March 20 on Magic Eden. 

The company says those who participate in the drop will receive the following perks:

A premium, physical, limited-edition sneaker developed using the highest quality materials from Italy and Japan to pair with your NFT!

Special access to in-real-life basketball games with influencers and professionals

Entry into blanksoles in-real-life events such as cocktail events, poker nights, and parties around major sports games

Certain community members will receive special perks (selected at random) such as playing basketball with Metta, getting a meal and going to a Kings game with Metta, and more

Participation in airdrop raffles for Metta Panda profile picture (PFP) NFTs and other NFTs down the road

You can visit BlankSoles.com or visit their Twitter page to learn more about the forthcoming drop. 

Metta is not a complete novice in this fast-evolving tech space. In September 2021, the baller joined the KB24 NFT Discord to help promote a new Kobe Bryant-inspired NFT alongside Dwight Howard, former Lakers guard Svi Mykhailiuk and New York Knicks star Nerlens Noel.
