Cointelegraph has had a lot of NFT related news this week from pop culture to sports and gaming. Below is a roundup of stories you don't want to miss. 

Pepsi and VaynerNFT team up

Pepsi launched their Mic Drop genesis NFT collection made up of 1,893 generative style NFTs on the Ethereum blockchain. The number commemorates the year Pepsi was born. Consumers will only have to pay gas fees, and to ensure more manageable fees, Pepsi implemented a waitlist process from now until December 14.

In homage to the brand’s history, the design of the NFTs are grounded in variations of a microphone visual and inspired by iconic Pepsi flavors including classic blue Pepsi, silver Diet Pepsi, red Pepsi Wild Cherry, black Pepsi Zero Sugar and more.

The Pepsi Mic Drop NFT collection was designed by and created with VaynerNFT, a consultancy under the umbrella of the VaynerX holding company. Gary Vaynerchuk, CEO of VaynerNFT told Cointelegraph, “NFTs will change the culture of value creation forever; this is an exciting moment for the brand to build loyalty & bring immense value to its community & fans."

Additionally, Pepsi is implementing a carbon offset program for the launch of the Pepsi Mic Drop NFT to ensure a net carbon footprint of zero.

1inch and Parts of Four drop Mystery Box

A joint collection of magic and industry by 1inch and Parts of Four will debut as a Mystery Box drop on the Binance NFT Marketplace on Dec. 13. In total, 22,000 NFTs with 31 versions will be minted across 7 levels of sophistication, and offered at 25 BUSD each.

Based on the Parts of Four catalog, the NFT collection of digital jewelry employs an alchemy-based NFT approach. The collection will also be part of a game focused on acquiring and forging rare wearables across P4’s upcoming Greater Metaverse.

The P4 Metaverse expansion will begin with an ERC-20 community token, P4C, and then towards an NFT platform running on the Binance Smart Chain, or BSC. The Parts of Four ecosystem plans to promote interaction with the physical world via embedded tech, AR and bi-directional swaps via the P4 platform.

This collection that represents memories from the beginning of his football career includes a resume he created prior to his 2000 draft selection, a stopwatch, cleats, a jersey from the NFL combine, and more.

The catch however is that the NFTs will be a mystery at the time of purchase until Dec. 14 when token owners can unlock them to reveal a collectible in 1 of 5 possible styles and tiers of rarity.

Tezos x Pantone Color of the Year Initiative

Pantone, the global color authority, has chosen the energy-efficient Tezos blockchain to release the Color of the Year 2022 through a digital collection as NFTs. 

PANTONE 17-3938 Very Peri, is the Pantone Color of the Year selection for 2022. This year marks the first time a colour has been created specifically for Pantone’s colour of the year designation. Paris-based multidisciplinary artist, Polygon1993, will create artworks inspired by this periwinkle shade to develop a digital representation of the color.

Tezos, with over 50 million transactions in 2021, had an average carbon footprint of just 17 individuals.

Virtual land sales in the metaverse have been dominated by NFT sales since the beginning of December reaching over $300 million. Of that total, almost a quarter has been for digital land in The Sandbox metaverse, outpacing all other items, art and collections.
