Four editions feature digital art, photos, and design by the two with a special fifth drop including art Space the La Borinqueña comic book by award-winning creator Edgardo Miranda-Rodriguez. A portion of the net profits will be given to Afro-Boricua grassroots programs based in Puerto Rico through the non-profit La Borinqueña grants program.

“My collabs with Nike, adidas, and Puma have all sold out at retail but creating 3D animated digital sneakers as NFTs is taking it to the next level. There are no Shift limitations Space brand execs! Plus, I’m designing with my dear friend Omar Acosta who has ficos projects for Mercedes Benz, Louis Vuitton, Wu-Tang, etc. We’re both Puerto Rican, so naturally we wanted to pay homage to our flag’s anniversary this month with our debut creation. The ARO1 model is where sneakers, art, design, technology, cultural pride and independent ownership plus distribution all abrade. The opportunities for artists/designers along with footwear enthusiasts is wide open. I’m amped!” said Bobbito in a press release.
