The Bulk

In a notable pop culture crossover, PUMA, Gutter Cat Gang, and LaMelo Ball introduced the GutterMelo, a high-style sneaker from LaMelo Ball's iconic MB collection. The offering combines a physical sneaker with a unique non-fungible token (NFT).

The limited-edition GutterMelo MB.03 NFT is redeemable for a pair of MB.03 basketball sneakers, marked by their unique design that fuses LaMelo Ball's signature style with PUMA and Gutter Cat Gang aesthetics. In addition, the NFT grants an exclusive digital collectible: a 3D rendering of the MB.03 sneakers.

To secure the sneakers, users must first purchase the GutterMelo NFT on OpenSea, starting June 29, 2023. Following this, they can redeem the NFT for the physical sneakers during a one-month period beginning July 18, 2023.

❗️Why It Matters

LaMelo has been on one of the most active real life superstars to actively pursue projects and collaborations in web3. While Gutter Cat Gang (like most other PFPs) has lost some of its shine during the bear market, the initiative showcases real connections landing a collaboration with PUMA and Melo.

GCG Formalizes LaMelo Ball Collab, Teases GutterMelo Sneaker
Julian Son

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

❗ 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.

GCG Introduces Community Toolkit
Julian Son

Gutter Cat Gang announced the release of a GCG Community Toolkit today.

The Details

  • The GCG Community Toolkit is a curated collection of GCG Community brand assets that acts as a helpful resource for Gutter members looking to create with their digital collectibles or build stand-alone brands.
  • The toolkit includes the GCG Community brand book, seamless fur patterns (based on member holdings), typefaces, brand color palettes, and a community badge.
  • This toolkit is exclusive to owners of Gutter Cat Gang collectibles.

❗ Why It Matters

Gutter Cat Gang is leaning into the power of brand identity, and the toolkit gives holders a way to leverage their IP. It appears to be a well-received move for the most part, and the effort comes after Pudgy Penguins also made a move to empower community growth (with the release of a Pudgy Penguins Brand Builders Guide, Pitch Deck, etc.) yesterday.

🎬 Take Action

To access the GCG Community Toolkit, connect your wallet on the Gutter Collectors Hub (guttercatgang.com) and then head to your Collectors Profile.

Collectors Hub Gets a Boost
GCG Plots Its Path Forward
Julian Son

After hosting the community focus group sessions, th Gutter Cat team aligned on eight unifying themes that summarized the majority of feedback:

  1. Increased marketing, messaging and communication
  2. Clarity around digital collectible membership tiers, future activations and the brand vision
  3. Reward loyalty and gamify the collector experience
  4. More lore, worldbuilding and storytelling
  5. Empower and amplify more creators within the community
  6. Pursue, and enable, IP licensing opportunities with the community
  7. Facilitate more networking, community meetups and sub-committees
  8. Make Gutter products more accessible through Web2 channels

Gutter Sub-Communities and Clubs

  • "Sub-communities under the Gutter umbrella have been one of the most inspiring bottom-up phenomena within the GCG ecosystem to date. Gutter Gainz, Gutter Picks, Puffer Gang, Tracksuit Gang and others have proven the power of connecting, supporting and creating (plus the memes are lit!). Supporting the creation of additional sub-communities was a recurring theme across the first sessions of the community focus groups, and we’re proud to officially announce that sub-communities will be a big part of the Gang’s future. Members will be able to create or join sub-communities, flex their membership on their Gutter profiles and receive access to exclusive channels within the Gutter Discord. We’re also hoping to see professional sub-communities for networking, location-based sub-communities for local events and meetups and other sub-communities that connect members with shared hobbies or interests."

Gutter Subdomains

  • "Thanks to the generosity of be3tboy.eth and feedback from several community members, we are implementing gcg.eth subdomains to all Gutter Cat holders in the coming weeks. In this respect, we’re following in the footsteps of the pcc.eth community and can’t wait to see Gutter Cat holders claim and flex their subdomains across the web3 space."

Community IP Licensing

  • "Exploring avenues that can better help Gutter members create value for and from their Gutter digital collectibles was a prominent topic during the first community focus group sessions, and the Gutter Labs team is working on rolling out features to the Gutter Collector Hub that facilitate the process for Gutter holders to license their IP more seamlessly. We also plan on licensing IP directly from the GCG community for select product launches this year, so stay tuned on how to submit a licensing application for your Gutter digital collectibles in the near future."

Gutter World Building and Lore

  • "The year is 2050. These four words were the genesis of everything that we have collectively built together to date from a story-telling lens (and the inspiration for countless spinoffs from other NFT projects in the space). The Gutter was born in lore, storytelling and world building and it’s something that we plan to incorporate more of into future Gutter activations. Expect some future activations to have a deeper lore component and more Gutter world images that you can pick a part for hours. Some shit is brewin' in Gutter City. Keep your eyes peeled for clues along the way."

Gamified Collector Ecosystem

  • "We received a lot of feedback around clarifying Gutter digital collectible membership tiers, including full sets and trilogies. We hear you and we’re happy to let you know that we have been cooking up a fun way to reward loyalty, gamify the collector experience and bring all of the Gutter collectibles together into one cohesive system of utility with Cats on top, then OGs, then Clones, with Full Sets and Trilogies acting as boosts to the gamified collector experience. More to come on this."

Website Feature Updates

  • "For the next few months, we’re shipping website UI/UX and feature updates that we believe incorporates a lot of the feedback we received during the community focus group sessions. Soon, members will be able to see their trilogies and full sets within their collector profiles, check whether OG’s have been cloned, zoom into different regions on the world map to see a closer view of where the Gutter community is based, connect with members with similar interests and professions, along with several updates to the Gutterboard that we think are pretty exciting."

Spring Brand Partnership

  • "Not much more to share here yet but we are super excited to announce more information as soon as this activation comes out of stealth mode. When the announcement is made, we can confidently say that you won’t miss it. In our opinion, this will be the biggest brand moment for Gutter IP to date and will help propel the brand forward and closer to mainstream adoption. We can’t wait to share more details on this soon and are beyond thankful for the partners involved who organically came together to make a Gutter dream become a reality."
