NTWRK Celebrates Second Anniversary With Virtual Shopping Event
Kicking off with four special drops.
Tomorrow marks the two year anniversary of NTWRK, the mobile-first video commerce platform that has become a go-to source for finding rare and hyped products, sold through its virtual livestream shopping experiences. Since its inception, CEO Aaron Levant has been bringing his vision to life with the singular direct to consumer model, which Fast Company has called “the QVC for Gen Z.” NTWRK is known for its daily exclusive drops, live videos, engaging hosts, virtual festivals and artist performances, creating a unique platform that places artists and fans front and center. In doing so, NTWRK has accomplished quite a bit in the last two years: The platform raised $1.3M with artist Takashi Murakami for Black Lives Matter, launched two live virtual festivals and invested in Esports team FaZe Clan.
Now, NTWRK is celebrating with an inaugural shopping event that will bring together brands and artists for a massive shoppable livestream featuring exclusive products, celebrity guests and surprise giveaways. With more than 20 drops, the event will touch on some of NTWRK’s greatest 2020 releases in addition to giving away exclusive pieces and a first look at unreleased items across art, fashion, sneakers and collectibles. Here are the best drops to look forward to from NTWRK’s celebratory shopping event.
Handle With Care YZ2-R
Price Range: $500 USD
Handle With Care YZY2-R by artist Mr. Flower Fantastic is a limited-edition decorative translucent planter in the shape of the iconic Nike AIR YEEZY 2 SP “Red October”, that’s designed to grow flowering plants, succulents and bonsai. Each planter is made of cast resin and tinted with a crimson red pigment allowing light to pass through. Handle With Care YZY-2 includes a custom protective housing with die-cut foam, trilingual planting instructions in English, French and Japanese, and a certificate of authenticity, signed by the artist.
Carrots x Conart
Price Range: $40-$90 USD
Carrots, led by Anwar Carrots, has come together with fellow L.A. brand CONART to create a collaborative capsule. The collection consists of graphic T-shirts, hoodies and sweatpants with an accompanying lookbook featuring Maxo Kream. CONART is considered one of first labels to use raw designs by the top graffiti artists in the world and hip-hop artists such as The Notorious B.I.G., ODB, Method Man, Red Man, The Pharcyde, Gangstarr and many others have all rocked CONART in movies, videos and advertisements. Now fully back in action, the brand combines its signature aesthetic with that of Carrots for a graphic collection.
atmos x adidas
Price Range: $133-151 USD
Japanese brand atmos reimagined a series of adidas sneakers, which will be available during NTWRK’s exclusive event. For the adidas Superstar “G-SNAKE,” glow-in-the-dark material is used for the upper as well as the sole and shell-toe, giving the silhouette a high-vis appearance in the absence of light. The two-tone white and black coloring matches the classic vibe of the Superstar, giving the shoe a duality that celebrates the Superstar’s most memorable year in a while. Then taking color inspiration from the recently released Deerupt Runner and Continental, the “Triple Red” concept is translated onto the adidas NMD. This adidas NMD_R1 atmos shows off bold black branding, which makes for an impactful accent against the vivid red color. Finally, the adidas Superstar “R-SNAKE,” which flips the “G-SNAKE”, shows off a reflective material on the entire upper with a snake motif that appears to lurk in the night. A different shade is revealed when light hits the black material.
Naturel x Print of Sport x FACTORY8384
Price Range: $40-1,000 USD
The Naturel x Print of Sport x FACTORY8384 collaboration delivers a collection of Chicago Bulls-inspired works, including a 3 Faces No Bull print, featuring Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen and Dennis Rodman. In addition to this, the 3Peat print fittingly comes in a set of three on 14×14” individual portraits of the same players. Keeping in step, the No Bull T-shirt will also be available during the shopping experience and features a chest graphic of the iconic Bulls players and branding on the back of the neck. Rounding out the collection, shoppers can enter for a chance to win the Nike Uptempo, N’destrukt or AJ13, which will be made-to-order in the winner’s size and includes three GLD Bulls pendants.
