Step into the metaverse in your new sneakers from Scottie Pippen and Orange Comet

Legendary basketball Hall of Famer and two-time Olympic Gold Medalist, Scottie Pippen, has teamed up with NFT blockchain blockbuster Orange Comet to score big.

The Scottie Pippen NFT Collection includes 1,000 virtual wearable cross-platform sneakers that are metaverse & game-ready available to mint on December 20th at 11:00am PT (Allow List)/11:30am PT (Public), exclusively on OpenSea.

Scottie Pippen is widely regarded as one of the best defenders in basketball history. He could shoot, pass, steal, and defend as well as any All-Star in the ‘90s. He excelled at nearly every facet of the game and is considered one of the best players of that decade. No other player had nine All-Defensive selections and seven All-Star appearances throughout the period. Scottie is a legend and there’s no doubt that the Pippen NFT Sneakers will be as well.

Every pair of sneakers comes with an OC Designer Mystery Box, a work of art all on its own. The Mystery Box will REVEAL something special down the road for those who HODL.
