Mythical Games & The Marathon Clothing Collaborate On New Playable NFT Collection
The late rapper/entrepreneur Nipsey Hussle was all about delivering classic music, building communities, and helping people to lead successful lives. With the message that “The Marathon Continues”, a movement started that connected instantly with many around the world. Out of TMC came “The Marathon Clothing” along with numerous ventures that helped to uplift the people. Recently, TMC made a game changing move when it collaborated with Mythical Games, the company behind the popular free-to-earn game Blankos Block Party for a limited edition playable NFT collection called, “The Marathon Collection”.
The Marathon Clothing brand has always been tech-forward and innovative, and joining forces with the unconventional Mythical Games brand has been deemed a perfect match. The Marathon Collection features 4 products which include 2 new playable characters in Blankos Block Party, and two clothing accessories designed by TMC.
The limited edition pieces are also playable NFTs that can be customized, upgraded, and sold for real money in the Mythical Marketplace. The exclusive collection will be available beginning at 3 p.m. PST / 6 p.m. EST / 11 p.m. UTC on Wednesday, Nov. 24 in-game or via the Blankos website.
“There’s a great quote from Nipsey Hussle about being willing to do the unconventional and make your own path that really encapsulates both what The Marathon Clothing and Blankos Block Party represent in their respective fields of fashion and gaming,” said Andre Johnson, vice president of business development at Mythical Games. “TMC has always been a culture-forward brand and we felt the collab with them was a perfect fit for collectors in the Blankos community. We’re honored to be the first game to drop a playable NFT collection of The Marathon Clothing and carry on Nipsey’s legacy.”
Samiel Asghedom, brother of the late Nipsey Hussle and TMC co-founder shared, “We at The Marathon Clothing are excited to be a part of this collab. This NFT collection is definitely something that Nipsey Hussle would have been a part of. His forward-thinking and his love for innovation kept him at the forefront of all new technology. The family is honored to continue moving the brand further down the path he paved.”
Along with the limited edition collaboration, Mythical Games has also partnered with the Neighborhood Nip Foundation to educate black and brown youth in South LA on technology including blockchain and gaming. The foundation was created by the late rapper’s family to continue his mission to impact his community and support young creatives.
Blankos Block Party is a ground-breaking multiplayer party game featuring digital vinyl toys known as ‘Blankos’ that live on a blockchain, inherently providing players with proof or verified ownership and authenticity. The game is styled like a giant block party, where players can compete in and explore a variety of minigames, including racing, shooting, vibe collection and more. The game is now available in Early Access on PC, and will be available on the MacOS platform later this month.
