SHOES 53045 is continuing its invasion of the metaverse — by dropping its first-ever virtual shoe (and a unique virtual experience) in partnership with MetaJuice (www.metajuice.com) the blockchain company unlocking the metaverse.

Buyers can go to http://thedematerialised.com starting February 3, 2022 and purchase the limited edition Cyb'Air NFTs and then bring them into the IMVU Metaverse and showcase them in a specially-designed room.

Cyb'Air — a virtual platform-heeled bubble air sneaker boot with supernatural powers — launches as an NFT on virtual fashion platform THE DEMATERIALISED (DMAT) in conjunction and can be imported and worn on the metaverse platform IMVU on February 3, 2022 at 3p.m. Paris, 6a.m. LA. Three NFTs — Thunder, Lava, and Ice — will be available with varying levels of scarcity : 

• Cyb'Air Thunder: Limited edition of 150 units at 200 euros each

• Cyb'Air Lava: Limited edition of 150 units at 200 euros each

• Cyb'Air Ice: 1 unit, auction beginning at 1000 euros

Cyb'Air's design sets a new bar for shoe design in the metaverse. The futuristic boot introduces a new bubble air sole into the brand's family of styles: a double-decker platform with a triple-decker heel. Inspired by motocross footwear and superhero boots, Cyb'Air have built-in superpower effects: Thunder has a stormy thunder effect, Lava erupts like a molten volcano, and Ice freezes and shatters.

“Our brand has been digital since day one. We've always been creating digital art and building a digital community, so this is a natural playground for us,” says SHOES 53045 CEO Aurelia Ammour. “People dare to wear more extreme styles in the metaverse, and it's exciting to bring that to them.”

“When you're designing for the metaverse, there is no limit to creativity — no constraints around what is possible to produce or fit to the human foot,” adds SHOES 53045 Chief Creative Officer David Tourniaire. “This is thrilling to us.”  

Karinna Grant, Co-CEO of DMAT, explains that “on partnering with Shoes53045 again we wanted to be even more progressive than our last NFT launch together. Therefore this time we focused on enabling authentic NFT utility through the seamless integration for owners to wear their shoes Direct to Avatar (DTA) in IMVU via our MetaJuice NFT partnership. We strive to offer added value with our NFTs and we can't wait to see the owners styling their new boots in the metaverse!” 

Through THE DEMATERIALISED, owners can showcase the NFT on their Universal Profile, wear and capture them in AR, and for the very first time, owners are able to port their new shoes into IMVU. 

To celebrate the drip, SHOES 53045 and DMAT are partnering with metaverse blockchain company, MetaJuice, to make the NFTs available on the IMVU platform.

“MetaJuice unlocks the full value of the metaverse for users and we are one of the few platforms enabling users to import NFTs and showcase them,” said Nancy Beaton, Vice President of Strategy and Marketing for MetaJuice. “The IMVU platform has 1,000,000 daily active users and we are offering each of them a unique experience where they can own,  style and wear NFTs and Cyb'air shoes in an immersive SHOES 53045 environment.”  

As part of the launch, NFT owners are invited to participate in SHOES 53045'S first meta-film — an interactive, community-based art project that will screen in a live event and exhibition on Spacial.io starting February 25. Owners and influencers will be encouraged to create content in the IMVU experience, and to share videos, images, and mixed-media montages featuring the shoes in action in their digital life with hashtag #cybair. The results will be edited into a meta-film that will be part of the final exhibition.

Last but not least, simultaneous with the meta-film, there will be a SHOES 53045 Instagram selfie challenge for the IMVU community, complete with a Shoes 53045 digital shoe giveaway and chances to win a Shoes 53045 NFT and VCOIN.

LONDON, Jan 31, 2022 - (ACN Newswire) - Verofax, a Smart serialization and traceability solution provider, has joined forces with children's STEM app Twin Science and LikeToBe in sponsoring a scientific expedition to Antarctica to research the effects of microplastics on life, the environment and the melting of ice caps.
Verofax, Twin Science and LikeToBe share the common aim of providing "Tech for humanity", and partnered in support of the scientific expedition to Antarctica. Polar Explorer Antony Jinman, the twelfth Briton to have skied to the geographic North Pole and skied solo to the geographic South Pole, led the expedition in December 2021, and spent 2 months in Antarctica gathering data on how microplastics are affecting the environment and wildlife.

The aim of this partnership's collaboration is to inspire young children to act responsibly by re-educating them on responsible consumption in line with UNSDG goal #12, through gamification and turning children into advocates of sustainability for influencing older generations.

Antony documented the expedition and answered children's questions in a series of interactive videos via the Twin Science app for children aged 7-12, hoping to encourage them to seek answers to questions such as "What are Microplastics, where do they come from and how does it affect life and the environment?", "What would happen to the Antarctic habitat if all the ice caps melted?" and "What can we all do as responsible individuals?"

"This expedition to Antarctica is really promising and aims to provide insights on microplastics impact on life and the environment," stated Antony. "We are happy to be partnering with Twin Science and Verofax to engage children on the expedition and the many challenges we faced to collect scientific evidence. Twin Science' in-app education and Verofax' sustainable lifestyle tracker are great vehicles to drive awareness on how to act responsibly and opt for greener choices."

Wassim Merheby, CEO of Verofax, explained, "Our solution enables transparency and auditability on consumer goods' sustainable credentials. Sustainable brands can now engage with consumers and retailers and upsell their certified "Green" range of products, while retailers and consumers are empowered to check and validate product lifecycle assessment before purchasing, interact with the product and advocate sustainable brands among peers. We believe this process begins naturally with sustainable education for youth, and as gamification which is a very powerful medium."

Asude Altintas, CEO and co-founder of Twin Science, says "This is a new approach to education. First, it excites us immensely to bring young 'Twinners' through our Twin Science app, along for this incredible journey to Antarctica and have them overcome challenges with Antony in real-time. Secondly, with Verofax, we want to not just tell, but show children how real climate change is, and that they themselves can take action to combat this.

"In the Twin app, all our content aims to show children how to use STEM for good, and we believe this is a great opportunity to do so. To date, we have had over 500,000 children use our STEM kits and STEM apps or attend our STEM workshops, and we have seen them use their know-how to invent earthquake detectors, reforestation robots, or ocean cleaning ships. We hope that what they experience on this journey will inspire them to revert the effects of climate change one day."

Prof Dr Ger Graus OBE, the Project and Education Advisor to this partnership, explained, "As someone who is a firm believer in introducing children to the wonderful role models who provide inspiration and aspiration, I am confident in this partnership's ability to have true social, environmental, and sustainable impact."
