Nike is working on a crypto-powered online marketplace for crypto collectibles, crypto art and application tokens, as well as shoes and clothing. This comes from a trademark application that was filed with the US Patent and Trademark Office on April 19th. Nike is calling the project 'Cryptokicks'.

The document also mentions plans for 'providing a digital currency or digital token for use by members of an online community' and enabling transactions to be completed using 'unconventional currency systems'.
