description: 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.
