CREATING A WORLDWIDE COMMUNITY OF SNEAKER LOVERS

Our mission is to unite all sneakerheads and build a worldwide community of like-minded people who share a passion for sneakers and the sneaker culture. Having rare and exclusive sneakers allows people to express themselves and gives them instant respect and credibility in the shoe game. As we love the sneaker culture, we decided to give back by building a highly exclusive premium sneaker NFT project and, at the same time, creating a global community of sneaker lovers.

Sneaker Slayers is the first of its kind, showcasing the rarest sneakers combined with hand-crafted bespoke 3D fashion Kitsune Masks. But, of course, only true sneaker lovers will recognize the patterns, finest materials, and color combinations that represent the most iconic sneakers featured in our exclusive Sneaker Slayers collection.

THE TRAITS

Like sneakers in real life, the different traits and combinations create the rarest and most sought-after pairs, aka GRAILS, that everyone wants but virtually nobody can get their hands on. 

As we are true sneakerheads, we've incorporated exclusive traits that combine for the sickest and rarest combinations, ensuring that every Kitsune Mask is unique. Find all the different traits right here, giving you a "behind the scene" glimpse into how the entire 7777 NFT collection is built.

1. BACKGROUND

Every single NFT in our collection is unique. We won’t create thousands of NFTs with the same background and only change the NFT. However, as the background plays an essential role in making the most exclusive Sneaker NFT collection, we’re switching it up every time, just like switching your sneakers.

2. MASK

In its naked form, this is the Mask that functions as the foundation and first layer underneath all other layers creating the full Kitsune Masks. As Sneakers Slayers have three different Mask types, we created this base mask on which the three different Kitsune Masks are applied, generating the craziest combinations you could ever imagine.

3. EYES

The eyes are the mirror of the soul and are carefully crafted to fit each Sneaker Slayer perfectly. These fox-like eyes resemble the eyes found on a Kitsune Mask, and on some occasions, they can even glow. Be on the lookout for those, as these are rare!

4. STITCHING

The details on the Sneaker Slayers NFT are mind-blowing, and one of those reasons is the stitching, which comes in various colors and materials and looks hyperrealistic.

5. EARS

The ears are created in various fabrics and look stunning. It looks like you could touch them and feel the different patterns. The ears come in multiple colors and materials; all of them are carefully created and meshes perfectly.

6. OVERLAY

The overlays resemble sneakers we all know and love. They come in many different colors and fabrics that look so realistic that it's like you can feel them. Watch out for the rare ones, which will be the GRAILS of our collection.

7. HALO

Not all Sneaker Slayers have a Halo hovering “over them,” making the Kitsune Mask almost look like royalty. The Halo comes in gold and silver colorways, with a secret third Halo color coming your way.

HOW IT STARTED

2020
In 2020 Careaux created the concept of the Sneaker Slayers and started drawing them out from scratch. Cherry and blossom are a couple, and together they are known as; CherryBlossom. Only Cherry wore the mask with two of his friends and SLAYS a different model: Air Max 1: Patta Monarch, Jordan 4: University Blue, and Jordan 1: Off-White Chicago inspired the first designs.

2021
On the 27th and 28th of November in 2021, the Sneaker Slayers made their debut at Sneakerness Rotterdam, with a limited edition of 10 physical printed pieces that were sold out instantly and received raving reviews for their original and super dope design.

2022
A mutual friend of Careaux and Angelo White introduced the two artists, and the idea was born to digitalize the printed cardboard Sneaker Slayers and turn them into a premium NFT collection. Angelo White started designing the 3D Kitsune Masks and continuously aligned with the concept's originator, the highly talented illustrator Careaux. With Hollywood VFX artist Angelo White, they are a powerful and unstoppable duo that will produce one of the most prolific and exclusive sneaker-inspired NFT collections ever created. Their goal is to grow the SLAYER FAM with sneakerheads joining worldwide every day and paying homage to sneaker culture through the Sneaker Slayers NFT collection, physicals, and more.

THE ARTISTS

When it comes to NFTs, we understand the importance of utility very well, and Sneaker Slayers come packed with crazy utility for their holders. The design, quality materials, eye for detail, and the blood, sweat, and tears that go into a passion project like this; all matter.

We are stoked to have two world-class artists as the foundation and faces of the Sneaker Slayers NFT. Angelo White and Careaux are fully committed to making this project highly successful in the long term. As they are passionate and excited about the Sneaker Slayers project, you can regularly catch them in our Discord. Make sure to reach out and connect with them, as they love to connect with like-minded sneakerheads like themselves!

LEGENDARIES

The complete Sneaker Slayers collection consists of 7777 NFTs, of which 77 are legendaries. Angelo White carefully handcrafted the legendaries to create the most premium and exclusive Sneaker Slayers in the entire collection, with the most epic sneaker references.

All 77 legendaries are 1/1's, and if you mint a legendary, it comes with an airdrop that gives you the physical equivalent of your legendary NFT. With only 1% of the collection consisting of legendaries, these are the GRAILS that everybody wants!

METICULOUSLY
HANDCRAFTED

When Angelo White and Careax decided to create the Sneaker Slayers NFT collection, they instantly agreed on the vision to deliver the most premium sneaker-inspired collection that was humanly possible.

Both Angelo and Careaux are true sneakerheads and love having exclusive joints that are nearly impossible to get. They incorporated this into the Sneaker Slayers' development by Angelo meticulously crafting each legendary Sneaker Slayer NFT.

When you mint or purchase an NFT, you will not have a common one, as there are no common ones. Instead, even the "common" ones will be bespoke, ensuring that the NFT is unique, one of a kind, and valuable for the long term.

SLAYER CREW

The Slayer Crew consists of 7 people, and together with Angelo White and Careaux, we are with 9 highly talented and dedicated Sneaker Slayers driven to deliver maximum value for our holders. With every move we make, we have our community in mind. Additionally, we have the 49/51 mindset, meaning we always give more than we take.

This is the best crew we've worked with, which says a lot, considering the established agencies and global brands our Sneaker Slayers have worked for, including Nike and the Jordan brand, amongst others. Our Artist Slayers and Slayer Crew are committed for the long term and are here to stay; hence the identities of the Artists Angelo White, Careaux, and our Chief Marketing Officer Rich Loen are fully revealed. The Sneaker Slayers presented on a first-name basis have done so for personal reasons and are fully committed to our mission for years to come.
