Athletes are one of the most popular celebrities to join web3 and the ongoing pivot to NFTs by dropping their own collections. Ever since the success of TopShot, NFTs have become a popular way for fans to “own” a part of their favorite athlete’s careers with a tradeable digital collectible.
The latest athlete to join in is Klay Thompson, who recently commemorated his career with an NFT launch on Amino, a health and fitness Web3 ecosystem.
Amino is a project that is focused on bringing personal wellness into web3. It features a set of personal fitness apps where users can earn digital asset rewards for being active and fulfilling wellness goals that help them improve their overall health. Top athlete NFTs and metaverse gaming are also a main part of the project’s efforts.
Built exclusively for the Binanace NFT marketplace, Amino’s GRAILS collection showcases the NBA superstar’s four championships with the Golden State Warriors from 2015 – 2022. The launch will take place via 10,000 NFT Mystery Boxes that will be available on October 18th at $50 each.
Rare NFTs in the set will include exclusive Klay Thompson memorabilia, allowing fans to own autographed jerseys, photographs, and basketballs, and share in the most important accomplishments of his career.
Amino has planned to continue with the GRAILS collection after the drop with Thompson. A series of 30 similar drops will celebrate the careers of other legendary athletes of different sports.
These rare NFTs will also have tangible, real-world value since they not only represent memorabilia but are also used to participate in athlete-related experiences.Follow @aminorewards and @thebinanceNFT on Twitter to stay in the loop about the Klay Thompson GRAILS drop.
