Casio Computer Co., Ltd. has announced an exciting new partnership with STEPN GO, a popular move-and-earn Web3 lifestyle app. This collaboration will see the launch of 800 limited-edition NFT sneakers as part of Casio’s ongoing VIRTUAL G-SHOCK project. These unique digital sneakers will be available in a four-day Raffle Mint event from August 26 to 29, 2024, on the MOOAR NFT marketplace.

Expanding the G-SHOCK Universe

The VIRTUAL G-SHOCK project, launched in September 2023, aims to broaden the appeal of Casio’s iconic G-SHOCK brand by integrating it with innovative digital platforms. The collaboration with STEPN GO is the latest step in this initiative, blending Casio’s reputation for durable, shock-resistant watches with the growing trend of move-and-earn apps in the Web3 space.

NFT Sneakers: A Blend of Style and Utility

The limited-edition NFT sneakers will feature four distinct designs, each inspired by the colors, shapes, and structures of Casio’s G-SQUAD line of G-SHOCK watches. These designs are not only visually appealing in virtual spaces but also incorporate elements that reflect the brand’s focus on physical activity, such as shock absorption. These features make the NFT sneakers a perfect match for the active lifestyle promoted by STEPN GO, where users can earn cryptocurrency rewards based on the distance they run or walk.

The 800 exclusive NFT sneakers will be released via a Raffle Mint event on MOOAR, the NFT marketplace operated by FSL, the Web3 product development studio behind STEPN GO. The event will take place from August 26 through August 29, 2024, giving participants a chance to secure these one-of-a-kind virtual sneakers.

Bringing Web3 to the Mainstream

FSL co-founder Yawn Rong emphasized the significance of this collaboration, stating, “We are always hoping to bring more long-established companies and diverse intellectual properties into STEPN GO to encourage more people to find out about our Web3 lifestyle apps. This collaboration with Casio is extremely important to FSL as a whole, based on our grand vision of promoting mainstream Web3 adoption.”

With this partnership, Casio and STEPN GO are set to make a significant impact on both the world of digital collectibles and the growing Web3 ecosystem, offering users a unique blend of fashion, technology, and physical activity.
