This exciting development signifies a major milestone for the project and the Shiba Inu community as a whole. However, the full delivery process is expected to take approximately 2-3 weeks. In this initial batch, 398 hoodies have been dispatched, and the portal remains open for other Shiba Inu enthusiasts to place their orders.
Special Offer and Community Excitement
In a bid to further delight the Shiba Inu community, Shibacals has introduced a special offer, reducing the price of these hoodies from $75 to $55. This price slash has naturally stirred excitement among Shiba Inu enthusiasts.
Reacting to this thrilling update, Shytoshi Kusama, the pseudonymous lead developer of Shiba Inu, posted a celebratory “party proper” emoji. This gesture underlines the significance of the moment and the positive impact that Shibacals is having on the Shiba Inu ecosystem.
Shibacals’ Unique Approach
Shibacals, the official Shiba Inu studio, aims to connect digital NFTs with tangible, real-world items using NFC (Near Field Communication) chips. This innovative approach enhances the intrinsic value of physical collections by digitally authenticating them. Despite its relatively recent debut in June, Shibacals has already achieved remarkable milestones.

One notable achievement is its partnership with the American multinational tech firm, Hewlett-Packard (HP), which will use 3D technology to print all physical products associated with Shibacals. This collaboration further bolsters Shibacals’ mission to provide premium quality items to the Shiba Inu community and beyond.
Shibacals’ Inaugural Hoodie Contest
Shibacals initiated its hoodie design contest in June, with the goal of selecting five designs from the community. Two designs were chosen from community members, SirShibsAlot and ShibHead, leaving three spots open for submissions. The winners of this contest are set to receive a percentage of the proceeds from the sales of these Shiba Inu-themed Champion hoodies. Designs were judged based on criteria including representation, coolness, originality, and creativity.
The public sale of these hoodies, tagged “Shiba Inu: 1st edition,” opened on August 6 and concluded on August 16, 2023, marking another milestone for Shibacals. As part of its marketing strategy, Shibacals announced that buyers of its hoodies will receive a free tote bag, further enhancing the value of these collector’s items.
In addition to the hoodie design contest, Shibacals has also announced a giveaway, where 30 Champion hoodie prototypes will be distributed to the community. This gesture underscores Shibacals’ commitment to engaging and rewarding the Shiba Inu community.
Shibacals’ remarkable journey continues to excite the Shiba Inu community and the broader world of crypto enthusiasts as it successfully merges the digital and physical realms in the ever-evolving NFT space.
