Level Access’ Post

As someone who cherishes the rarity in everything, my sneaker collection holds a special place. It’s not just about the shoes- it's about owning a piece of the future. In December, when RTFKT announced their new drop of phygital (physical + digital) products - Dunk OG Edition, Ghost & Void, my collector’s instinct kicked in. Having experienced their previous releases with the Cryptokicks IRL, I was eager to add another pair of tech-infused sneakers to my collection. Almost five months of anticipation later, I unboxed the RTFKT X Nike Dunk OG Edition today. And here’s why these aren't just another pair of sneakers to me: 1) Beyond a JPEG: While I love collecting digital art, these sneakers, bring a unique physical touch to what started as a digital asset. 2) Exclusivity: With less than 6,500 pairs worldwide, owning these sneakers feels like being part of an exclusive club. 3) Investment Value: The limited access and high demand not only preserve but can increase their value over time. It’s a collector’s dream. Already selling at 4x on StockX 4) Brand Trust: Both RTFKT and Nike have consistently delivered quality, merging tradition with innovation in ways that continually impress. Here's more about the product and it's features: https://lnkd.in/d-spA37d As a collector, I find immense value in these intersections of technology, fashion, and exclusivity. But for those who view products through a buyer's lens or a collector’s like mine, the question stands: Would you invest in a piece of the future like this? #SneakerHead #DigitalCollectibles #NFTCommunity #InnovationInFashion #NFTs

We failed! Successfully, but still failed. Last year, in Underoutfit's 2nd year, we ended with $17.4MM in revenue. I projected that we will do $50MM next year (2023). Many people said we could not keep growing at such a fast pace. However, I was arrogant and believed we would surpass the $50MM mark while improving every aspect of the business. 😡 Goddammit, I was close. !!@@###. 🤣 But, (un)fortunately, I did not learn my lesson.  I have even wilder predictions for 2024: * We will go global. * We will launch new products with even higher margins * We will launch a new sub-brand for activewear * We will become a global household brand. * We will have more surprises. I can't discuss it yet. * We will raise our real first round. Happy New Year, Everybody. #dtcbrands #brandbuilding #ecommerce

Creator merch is mostly rubbish. While the website may seem decent and the products passable at first glance, delving deeper reveals a different story, as evidenced by Trustpilot reviews. Late or nonexistent shipments, inferior quality, and poor communication from customer support are all too common. It's astonishing that these merch companies, entrusted with representing creators' brands, neglect their most crucial asset—the customer. Our approach takes the long view. We aim to cultivate lasting value for our clients by prioritising the customer experience. Focusing on adding enterprise value, with a brand-led approach. Don't compromise your personal brand by aligning with a subpar merch partner. #merchbrands #creatormerch #influencermerch #clothingmanufacturing #streetwear #fashion

#NYFW is just around the corner, and over recent years, it has become a masterclass in using events to promote a brand, its products, visions for the future, and partnerships. Brands outside the fashion industry are now capitalizing on NYFW audiences, finding unique ways to partner with stores, designers, and fashion houses to reach new audiences. This past year, we loved seeing brands like Hennessy, Dunkin', and Adobe, become fashion-centric for the week by partnering with designers like 3.1 Phillip Lim, LoveShackFancy, and Christian Cowan. What are your predictions for #brandactivations at NYFW this year? What’s a partnership you’d love to see come to life through an event?

SNL's "Xiemu" Skit: A Funny Yet Sobering Look at Fast Fashion NBCUniversal's Saturday Night Live recently aired a skit that humorously yet poignantly highlighted the hidden costs of fast fashion. Featuring Jake Gyllenhaal, the "Xiemu" spoof ad pokes fun at $10 dresses and $5 shoes with the tagline, "How so cheap? Don't worry about it!" But beneath the humor lies a serious issue: those ultra-low prices often hide unethical practices like forced labor and environmental damage. This is where Bext360 steps in.
