The first step in a long journey
By holding the Lacoste NFTs, collectors will get access to the brand’s web3 universe – a long-term collaborative community. Additionally, collectors will be able to access a pioneering ecosystem as well as digital and physical benefits in the Lacoste world.
With its foray into the web3 ecosystem, Lacoste demonstrates its mission to connect various communities and cultures. Specifically, the initiative seeks to bring together NFTs, Lacoste fans, and pop culture enthusiasts. It is worth noting that UNDW3 is Lacoste’s initial step into the web3 ecosystem.
Through UNDW3, Lacoste has become the latest fashion brand to join the emerging web3 ecosystem. In the past, brands like Gucci, Philipp Plein, and Louis Vuitton launched NFTs, signaling a growing web3 interest among fashion houses.
