Exclusive Physical Capsule Collection and Digital Collectibles

NFT Giveaways for Customers
These exclusive physical capsule collections are debuting alongside the NFTs. And while everyone already knows that Louboutin shoes are really expensive, the digital tokens that come with the tangible fashion items are totally free.
These will be given as perks for buyers who will avail of the physical shoes and accessories. Likewise, as a gift for buying items from Louboutin’s “Marvel Collection” capsule, customers will instantly get the “Sea Warrior Special Edition” NFT collectible. It was mentioned that guests who are attending Marvel’s and Louboutin’s launch events can also get these “digital tokens of appreciation.”
“Who never dreamed of becoming a superhero, really? And I’m lucky enough to be turning into one with none other than Marvel! I really like the fact that they didn’t try to picture me as a strong and muscular character, but went deeper in the understanding of my universe,” Louboutin said in a news release. “They went into the power of creativity and imagination: Someone who makes individuals dream and empowers them. When one manages to make people dream and inspire passion in them, it’s as much a superpower as it is an honor.”
