Gutter Cat Gang announced a collaboration with LaMelo Ball and PUMA, with LaMelo teasing an NFT activation for a Gutter Cat Melo sneaker.
The Deets
- Get the NFT on June 29 to get the very first GutterMelo physical sneaker.
- The MB.03, LaMelo Ball's third signature silhouette, is slated for general release in the fall / in September.
❗ Why It Matters
The collaboration with Gutter Cat Gang will perhaps be the first iteration of the MB.03 to debut, reinforcing the notion that owning an NFT related to an athlete will give the holder enhanced access and benefits.
The details are scant otherwise, particularly since the shoe hasn't been released. But LaMelo is working with a known Web3 brand in Gutter Cat Gang and is keen on making a splash with his signature sneaker later this month.
🔙 Back It Up
This collaboration isn't the first time LaMelo has rocked a GCG-themed shoe, as LaMelo wore a custom "Gutter Cat Gang" NFT Puma MB.01 in a game back in April 2022.

Pudgy Penguins announced that a limited edition Pudgy Penguins "Shark Suit" collectible will release this Friday, exclusively on @NTWRKLIVE.
The Deets
- The first ever Pudgy Penguins vinyl collectible
- The drop will happen on Friday at 9:45 p.m. EST at thentwrk.com/product/677495/pudgy-penguins-shark-suit-7365.
-
Priced at $249.00
- Edition size of 150
- Shipping starts on June 3rd
🔙 Back It Up
The Shark Suit collectible is based on one of five 1/1 Pudgy Penguins in the collection, Pudgy Penguin #7365. It's owned by Vincent Van Dough, an avid NFT collector and the creator of Notable Pepes. Van Dough bought the Shark Suit Pudgy Penguin back in August 2021 for 69 ETH, which was nearly $220k at the time.
❗ Why It Matters
After successfully launching Pudgy Toys last week, Pudgy Penguins aren't showing any signs of slowing down.
This drop is an example of how the Pudgy Penguins brand is using a multi-channel distribution approach to target different markets, and it makes sense that Pudgy Penguins is releasing the limited edition vinyl collectible on NTWRK, a well-known app for collectors.

RTFKT's Nike Air Force 1 forging is slated for Apr. 23, according to a tweet from the company.
The Deets
The forging period allows holders of pre-forged RTFKT NFTs to redeem a physical companaion. Additional details include:
- The forging will run from Apr. 23 and last until May 8
- There is no additional forging cost and holders are only responsible for paying gas.
- Physical sneakers are expected to ship in Q4 2023.
- Pre-forged ERC-1155 will be burned in the process, and a "Forged" ERC-721 will be sent to the holder after forging.
- There are 10 designs available.
- Forging will take place on RTFKT.com.
❗Why It Matters
RTFKT joins a group of 2021 projects with waning excitement and a growing negative sentiment, but the forging events and merchandise brings the project back to its roots of *phygital* fashion. However, despite those roots, questions arose this week about a potential quality of the RTFKT product. The Nike Air Force 1 forge has been one of the most highly anticipated apparel forges for the company, putting its Nike acquisition to good use - but it seems it will still need to provide a quality experience to start earning back the trust of the community.
