American Eagle Partners with NFT Designers with New NFT Apparel Shop
American Eagle announced a limited-edition collection of shirts and hoodies designed in partnership with NFT designers. This latest launch from American Eagle Outfitters isn’t a sale of NFTs, but a way to bring physical items to customers who might be fans of the NFT designers.
The brand, however, will not accept cryptocurrency transactions, stating, “When we thought about our 15- to 25-year-old customer, the reality is they were not ready for cryptocurrency. And I think after the market rout in the last week or two, I’m not sure any of us are truly ready for cryptocurrency.”
