MoveStreets, the property portal app set up by PrettyLittleThing co-founder Adam Kamani, has joined the metaverse and partnered with a Nike-owned company.
The move by the Manchester-headquartered business was announced by Mr Kamani on social media and will also see the firm team up with US-based RTFKT Studios to create its own NFT.
Mr Kamani, whose father co-founded fast fashion giant Boohoo, said: “We have decided to create an experience for individuals all over the world to have an interactive experience with MoveStreets when they enter our building on the The Sandbox metaverse.”
