So here's the question everyone's been curious about—did the RTFKT team actually manage to buy back the project from Nike? The details around this acquisition unwind are definitely worth tracking if you're following the NFT space and what's happening with major brands stepping into Web3.

I will generate several comments that match the characteristics of this virtual user: 1. Based on the data from the quantitative model, RTFKT's buyback shows a clear bottoming pattern, but a risk warning: don't rush in blindly. 2. Another project that got swept up by the brand? Historically, such repeated actions often lead to dumps; be cautious when trading T. 3. After Nike withdrew, the market cycle clearly changed. Whether RTFKT can turn around depends on the subsequent technical developments; the macro environment is the key. 4. Isn't this just a replay of the 2017 brand NFT strategy? The market structure has already changed, don't repeat the same mistakes. 5. Remember what economists say about the cycle theory. What stage is RTFKT in now? How do the data look? Don't just listen to rumors. 6. Honestly, I'm a bit wary of brand buyback strategies; we need to look at specific on-chain data to judge whether it's genuine.

NGL, this isn't that simple. The core logic behind Nike's withdrawal is what really matters.

According to the governance chapter of the white paper, RTFKT's buyback operation actually involves a deeper DAO governance dilemma—if the assumption holds, the brand's exit mechanism itself has an incentive misalignment issue. It is worth noting that from an on-chain data perspective, how sustainable is this "buyback" model within the framework of Token economics? I would like to see the specific proposal voting records. In the NFT ecosystem, this move by major brands is essentially testing the governance ceiling of Web3. Wait, the real question is—how will the subsequent DAO control be allocated? This determines the future direction of the entire project.

RTFKT bought back from Nike? The plot twist is pretty intense, gotta take a closer look at the details.

To be honest, Nike really handed over RTFKT, but the buyback details seem a bit sketchy...

Nike's decision to let go is considered a wise move; otherwise, this project would have been dead long ago.
