What is @SK8PES and why should you care?
Here's a quick breakdown on the upcoming project that will be "pioneering urban anime and web3 lifestyle"
๐งต๐
FOUNDER//
SK8PES founder @steviewilliams_ is a known legend from his skating brand @DGK, one of the most popular in the world
His success with DGK has shown now only his resilience as an underdog, but also his skills in marketing, branding, and understanding culture
WEB3//
Stevie entered the web3 space as an investor and community member, most prominently through @Azuki & @DeGodsNFT
Rather than trying to cash grab through short-term DGK collabs, he sought to create a genuine web3-native project combining urban anime, skating, and NFTs
NETWORKING//
SK8PES has been in the works for almost 2 years
The team has hosted & participated in many events, including Skate the Gallery (Azuki Vegas), NFT LA, Art Basel, & the Penthouse showcase
BUILDING//
The team has also produced multiple physicals that align with the vision for SK8PES culture & NFT tech
These will be available for holders, & some will be limited based on rarity
In my opinion, it is always good to see teams creating real products before the sale
MARKETING//
SK8PES also has an Instagram account with very impressive numbers
In 2023, the account reached 100 million unique Instagram users and averaged 5-20m views monthly
This speaks volumes as we all know how much people off of X despise web3 content
COMMUNITY//
SK8PES has put an emphasis on community-building
Stevie curated group chats to bring people together to bond over skate culture & web3
This momentum has carried over, resulting in a very active server of members who share similar passions discord.gg/sk8pesnow
TLDR//
@steviewilliams_ has incredible experience as a founder & is creating a web3-native project the right way
The team has been networking, marketing & building exactly how you'd hope for a project pre-mint
This project & community have the potential to cause waves in web3
