These days, shoes are a lifestyle. Collectors scramble to fork over big bucks for the latest Jordans or Yeezys, and Nike is even making digital sneakers to keep your feet looking fresh in the metaverse. Whether you’re a hypebeast waiting for the next big drop or just looking for some new kicks to throw on when you leave the house, you can now easily buy shoes with crypto.


How to buy shoes with crypto

There’s some fairly solid overlap between crypto users and sneakerheads, which merchants are keenly aware of. As a result, a fairly wide selection of new and classic brands accept crypto payments. Since sneakers and shoes can fetch some pretty high prices, many digital currency users enjoy the flexibility of being able to buy them with crypto.

There are three main ways you can spend your crypto on shoes:

  • Pay direct with shoe retailers that accept crypto
  • Use the BitPay Card
  • Purchase gift cards for top sneaker brands with crypto
