Reebok Joins the Metaverse
To begin, Reebok’s recently filed trademark applications will grant it official entry into the ranks of other sports companies that have already infiltrated the Web3 domain. Nike and Adidas are two of these well-known companies.
At present, Nike and Adidas appeared to dominate the market until recently, with their ongoing NFT and metaverse innovations.
Furthermore, Nike has always been at the forefront of digital change. For a long time, elements of artificial intelligence (AI), e-commerce, and in-store technology have been part of the brand’s strategy.

Not to mention, the event saw the widespread and free distribution of NFTs. The publicly distributed NFTs were actively claimed within five minutes of public release.
