The blockchain is about to get Boysterous. So hold on to your (wide brim) hats, because a baroque band of brothers are taking their talents to crypto, well, NFTs to be exact. NFTs (also known as Non Fungible Tokens) are finding purchase and popularity in the world of digital creators, artists, entrepreneurs, and collectors. A new form of digital assets that can be acquired, traded, collected, and verified on the blockchain. Still in their infancy, NFTs are taking off and are headed to become the future of the crypto-token economy (tokenomics might offer a more clear understanding).
And with so much room for growth and exploration ahead in the crypto-world- especially for artists, designers, and creatives, Boysterous has joined forces with a team of early adopters and experts in the NFT marketplace, Onessus. But before we get into all of that, let’s catch you up with the who, what, when, where, and why.
Who: Boysterous Couture
When we mentioned band of brothers earlier, we weren’t being cheeky. Boysterous Couture is a luxury fashion & accessories brand founded and run by siblings Nicholas, Cameron, and Brendon Overstreet. The Brothers Overstreet are known for their innovation and attention to detail when it comes to designing some of the most unique and captivating handmade leather couture. Utilizing ethically + sustainably sourced fine + exotic leathers and materials from the best tanneries and manufacturers in the world, the Boysterous brothers exhibit exclusive original designs and collections, including wares ranging from purses and handbags to belts and (oyster shell) bow ties. You can see (and shop) their exclusive collections at boysterous.co. And although Boysterous’ products + collections are sure to be unlike anything else in the bespoke fashion scene, The Brothers Overstreet don’t have any plans on limiting Boysterous to handbags and bow ties.

What: NFTs
As previously stated, NFTs and cryptocurrencies are the future. In all honesty, they are the now. And they are not-so-patiently waiting for everyone else to get caught up in the cyber-fold. In seizing the time and opportunity (and creative entrepreneurship), The Brothers Overstreet decided to partner up with their long-time friends over at Onessus to formalize their own creative space on the NFT marketplace. For those of you who are familiar with the platform and cryptocurrency, WAX, you may recognize Onessus’ most recent ventures, HodlGod, as one of the top performers on AtomicHub. And for those of you who are not familiar, feel free to do your homework upon finishing this article.
Okay, back to Boysterous. Amidst the collective brain trust of The Brothers Overstreet + Onessus, the first fashionable NFTs are preparing to hit the market. Although we don’t want to reveal too much about the project, we do want to inform you that the future is bright for collectors- at least those that have a keen eye for opulence and innovation. Like the handmade couture found in Boysterous’ most desired collections, the Boysterous NFTs will feature designs and moments from Boysterous’ most prodigious visions for luxury design.
Again, without spilling too much tea, let’s just say that there will be many benefits and opportunities in owning specific Boysterous NFTs. Including, but not limited to bonuses and rewards (tokens of appreciation), such as tickets to events and productions, alongside redemption of physical products and designs that are exclusively minted for the blockchain. This also means that the products and NFTs that are being minted will be verified, authenticated, and backed by the blockchain.
It’s also important to mention that for our first, second, and third NFT drops will be in the form of limited pack releases. For these limited releases, our packs will be available for a specified amount of time. During the short time period that the packs will be available, there will be unlimited opportunities to acquire our NFTs, but once the time has run out, the NFTs minted in the packs will never be released again.
The first pack, Alligator X, dropping June 3rd, will include ten randomly minted NFTs ranging in rarities from Diamond (rarest) to Pearl (least rare) grades. Between the Diamond & Pearl grades, in order of scarcity, are Gold, Platinum, and Bronze. The next two packs, Stingray Gold & Stingray Diamond, will drop within weeks of the Alligator X drop and will feature dozens more highly anticipated Boysterous bounties. In these packs you will have the opportunity to pull extremely rare and resplendent tokens, alongside alluring and imaginative moments from Boysterous’ vision vault. You can look forward to pursuing handmade NFTs depicting natural scenes with the use of exotic and precious earthborn materials such as stingray leather, pearl, and walnut.

Though each of our NFTs are sure to be engaging, some will be more sought after than others. Be on the lookout for NFTs in your packs with high scarcity and low mints, like the Heart Of The Lion, or the ever elusive Northern White Rhinoceros.

Keep in mind that each of our drops will be limited, and these NFTs/packs will never be available again after the 2 hour sale window is over. Meaning, that the only way you can get these NFTs after the sale would be via the secondary market.
If you happen to be one of the lucky few to pull one or more of these coveted NFTs in the pack release, you’ll find yourself immersed and enthralled in the intricacies of our designs in our limited collection drops and obliging to collect them all.
When: June 3rd
The first Boysterous NFTs will be available to the market June 3rd, 2021. Which is soon. Very soon. So do yourself a favor and make sure to follow us on Twitter (@nft_co), Instagram (@boysterous.nft), and visit our featured outlet (fashionnonfungible.com) to sign up for exclusive details on release dates and other NFT related news.
Where: Exclusively On The WAX Platform
There comes a point in everyone’s life where we all have to pick a side. We chose to introduce our NFT project on the WAX platform for a couple of reasons, but the most influential factor is our partnership with Onessus. They have found extreme success and community in the WAX network and we believe that we can help contribute to the growth of the entire community with our innovative vision for the future of fashion.
As we prepare to get set up for the first exclusive pack release on WAX, we recommend that you do the same, if you haven’t already done so. Below are two simple steps to set up your WAX account and purchase tokens to participate in acquiring Boysterous assets upon release as recommended by Onessus:
Step 1: Get WAX Cloud Wallet
If you haven’t already, visit wallet.wax.io and login to the WAX Cloud Wallet. This is the wallet that will be used to interact with our products and WAXP.
Step 2: How To Buy WAXP
We recommend buying WAXP from Bittrex — bittrex.com as they support many jurisdictions including The United States, and have credit/debit payments enabled for easy on-boarding.
Why: Because, art.
The why in this project is simple. We are innovators. And opportunists. When the opportunity to innovate and create fashion and art in a more dynamic environment presented itself, we saw a vision of the future. And as we observe the growth and development of NFTs, digital assets, and cryptocurrency we are eager to join + contribute to the movement. So grab your crypto-clutch, because Boysterous is about to rock the runway like never before.
