RTFKT

RTFKT (pronounced "artifact") was a digital-fashion and collectibles studio founded in 2020 by Benoit Pagotto, Chris Le, and Steven Vasilev, known for NFT-based virtual sneakers, wearables, and the CloneX avatar collection created with artist Takashi Murakami. Backed by an a16z-led seed round, the company was acquired by Nike in December 2021 and operated as a Web3 / metaverse brand. Nike announced it was winding RTFKT down in December 2024, with operations ceasing by the end of January 2025. RTFKT was a consumer/collectibles brand and never published a public developer platform, API, SDK, or documentation surface; its remaining web presence is a frozen static archive page. This profile records that verified absence of an API surface.

RTFKT is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Digital Fashion, NFT, Collectibles, and Web3.
