New York, March, 5, 2022. VIEWPARK's New York based virtual global media company in partnership with Misc. Labs announced its new off-ramp investment program for holders of crypto currencies into a portfolio of entertainment projects.

As the adoption and validation of the crypto and blockchain market widens and crypto currency holder's profits increase exponentially many crypto investors are looking for opportunities to off-ramp their sizable profits back into fiat investments but up to now very few are catering to the particular needs of the crypto investor. VIEWPARK GROUP has addressed this issue with its new off-ramp program which offers investors a platform for expediting investments into high end and unique entertainment and real estate projects coupled with a program for tax relief for off-ramping their crypto currency holdings.

VIEWPARK's CEO, Krysanne Katsoolis, comments, “our unique model for off-ramping our crypto clients came out of our direct experience dealing with an insatiable appetite of the crypto community to be involved with our one off experiences and projects coupled with a hesitation to off-ramp their crypto fortunes. Helping this community navigate the off-ramp and bringing them as investors into our projects has become a great win-win for both us both.”

“What I'm finding”, comments VIEWPARK GROUP's President of SOUNDPARK, Joseph Clarke, “is that there is a new category of investor who has made so much money in the crypto world that they want only the best and are only too eager to want to invest in our projects; after all, who doesn't want a private concert with Coldplay or Lil Nas X for instance. We can now provide these types of high-end opportunities to this category of investors with our off-ramp program.”

Miscellaneous Labs has developed high level strategic partnerships with blockchain CEO's and industry leaders as well as key academic institutions to stay up to date with the growing web3.0 market to capitalize on the limitless possibilities with this new technology. Comments Misc. Labs Founder, “The partnership with Krysanne and Joseph, who are at the top levels in their industries, has allowed us to expedite the immediate opportunities to off-ramp our investors into solid investment opportunities”.

VIEWPARK GROUP is able to receive investments in all currencies and recently established residency in the Prospera SEZ zone on the island of Roatan, Honduras, where it will be able to operate in a crypto friendly environment. The Group's real estate arm, Mr Clarke LLC, is already currently partnering with Prospera and Apolo construction to develop residential and hotel properties in the special economic zone.

SHOES 53045 is continuing its invasion of the metaverse — by dropping its first-ever virtual shoe (and a unique virtual experience) in partnership with MetaJuice (www.metajuice.com) the blockchain company unlocking the metaverse.

Buyers can go to http://thedematerialised.com starting February 3, 2022 and purchase the limited edition Cyb'Air NFTs and then bring them into the IMVU Metaverse and showcase them in a specially-designed room.

Cyb'Air — a virtual platform-heeled bubble air sneaker boot with supernatural powers — launches as an NFT on virtual fashion platform THE DEMATERIALISED (DMAT) in conjunction and can be imported and worn on the metaverse platform IMVU on February 3, 2022 at 3p.m. Paris, 6a.m. LA. Three NFTs — Thunder, Lava, and Ice — will be available with varying levels of scarcity : 

• Cyb'Air Thunder: Limited edition of 150 units at 200 euros each

• Cyb'Air Lava: Limited edition of 150 units at 200 euros each

• Cyb'Air Ice: 1 unit, auction beginning at 1000 euros

Cyb'Air's design sets a new bar for shoe design in the metaverse. The futuristic boot introduces a new bubble air sole into the brand's family of styles: a double-decker platform with a triple-decker heel. Inspired by motocross footwear and superhero boots, Cyb'Air have built-in superpower effects: Thunder has a stormy thunder effect, Lava erupts like a molten volcano, and Ice freezes and shatters.

“Our brand has been digital since day one. We've always been creating digital art and building a digital community, so this is a natural playground for us,” says SHOES 53045 CEO Aurelia Ammour. “People dare to wear more extreme styles in the metaverse, and it's exciting to bring that to them.”

“When you're designing for the metaverse, there is no limit to creativity — no constraints around what is possible to produce or fit to the human foot,” adds SHOES 53045 Chief Creative Officer David Tourniaire. “This is thrilling to us.”  

Karinna Grant, Co-CEO of DMAT, explains that “on partnering with Shoes53045 again we wanted to be even more progressive than our last NFT launch together. Therefore this time we focused on enabling authentic NFT utility through the seamless integration for owners to wear their shoes Direct to Avatar (DTA) in IMVU via our MetaJuice NFT partnership. We strive to offer added value with our NFTs and we can't wait to see the owners styling their new boots in the metaverse!” 

Through THE DEMATERIALISED, owners can showcase the NFT on their Universal Profile, wear and capture them in AR, and for the very first time, owners are able to port their new shoes into IMVU. 

To celebrate the drip, SHOES 53045 and DMAT are partnering with metaverse blockchain company, MetaJuice, to make the NFTs available on the IMVU platform.

“MetaJuice unlocks the full value of the metaverse for users and we are one of the few platforms enabling users to import NFTs and showcase them,” said Nancy Beaton, Vice President of Strategy and Marketing for MetaJuice. “The IMVU platform has 1,000,000 daily active users and we are offering each of them a unique experience where they can own,  style and wear NFTs and Cyb'air shoes in an immersive SHOES 53045 environment.”  

As part of the launch, NFT owners are invited to participate in SHOES 53045'S first meta-film — an interactive, community-based art project that will screen in a live event and exhibition on Spacial.io starting February 25. Owners and influencers will be encouraged to create content in the IMVU experience, and to share videos, images, and mixed-media montages featuring the shoes in action in their digital life with hashtag #cybair. The results will be edited into a meta-film that will be part of the final exhibition.

Last but not least, simultaneous with the meta-film, there will be a SHOES 53045 Instagram selfie challenge for the IMVU community, complete with a Shoes 53045 digital shoe giveaway and chances to win a Shoes 53045 NFT and VCOIN.
