In an exclusive interview with Cointelegraph, Chris Le, the firm&#8217;s co-founder, said casually: &#8220;I manage a team of artists and conceptualize sneaker designs. If I feel like getting my hands dirty, I&#8217;ll model the 3D sneakers, do all the rendering and make the NFT&#8217;s out of them.&#8221; Although the collection consists of 13 sneaker NFTs, they&#8217;ve <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/opensea.io\/collection\/rtfkt-creators\">fetched<\/a> an impressive 976 ETH ($3.9 million).<\/p>\n<p>Aside from NFT footwear, RTFKT also minted a series of 20,000 three-dimensional avatars on the Ethereum blockchain called Clone X. These in-game characters can be used in decentralized virtual reality realms, such as Decentraland, together with other wearable items. At the time of publication, RTFKT Studios second collections trending in terms of trading volume for its Clone X collaboration with artist Takashi Murakami.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">RTFKT is now a part of the NIKE, Inc. family. \u200d <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/5egNk9d8wA\">pic.twitter.com\/5egNk9d8wA<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 RTFKT Studios (@RTFKTstudios) <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/RTFKTstudios\/status\/1470502799498792963?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">December 13, 2021<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Related:\u00a0Adidas Originals to launch debut NFT collection<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Pak_Nifty_Gateway\"><\/span>Pak, Nifty Gateway<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Pak, a pseudonym for a digital artist or anonymous entity, ranks as the top NFT artist with a total artwork value sold of $321 million across 66,319 pieces, <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/cryptoart.io\/artists\">according<\/a> to data by CryptoArt.
