Gucci’s foray into the NFT space has expanded once again, but this time, with entertainment company SUPERPLASTIC, which is known for its digital celebrities and collectible toys.
This exclusive collaboration – SUPERGUCCI – entails a three-part drop with NFTs, ceramic figurines and vintage Gucci pieces that are handpicked by the Gucci’s creative director Alessandro Michele.

Set to drop on 1 February, the limited CryptoJanky series will feature 10 unique NFTs, along with hand-crafted ceramic sculptures decked out in Gucci’s signature patterns and symbols. The designs have been reinterpreted by SUPERPLASTIC’s very own virtual influencers – Janky and Guggimon.
These synthesised artists made a name for themselves through their coveted NFT vinyl toy collection, which boasts a collaboration with Colombian singer and rapper J Balvin last year. Not to mention, a special appearance in the highly popular game, Fortnite, in September 2021.
The NFTs and the 250-piece ceramic figurines will be up for sale on SUPERPLASTIC.CO and Gucci Vault, an e-commerce website featuring refurbished archival pieces from past Gucci collections.
Accompanying this event, the sixth release of pre-owned Gucci pieces including one-of-a-kind items will also be up for grabs. These items have been fully restored, numbered and received their own special packaging – we expected nothing less.
Keep your eyes peeled and your wallet ready.
