01/08/2021 OFFICIAL COMMEMORATIVE NFT COLLECTION

On the night of June 20th, 2006, the Miami HEAT captured the first NBA Championship in its 18-year history—a 4-2 victory over the Dallas Mavericks, brought to fruition by a band of castoffs, misfits, and budding stars better known as "15 STRONG".

And now – 15 seasons since first hoisting the Larry O'Brien Trophy – we're proud to unveil a unique collection of digital memorabilia inspired by the matchups and moments from the team's inaugural White Hot run: seven 1-of-1 non-fungible tokens (NFTs) – and their 8-bit style counterparts – plus a special Burnie NFT, each minted on the blockchain in limited supply.

Cypher::Prophet
Cypher::Prophet is an artwork dedicated to the punk origins of blockchain designed and realized by hackatao and hex6c. In the transposition into images we started from the iconographic canons of the hacker (hoodie, laptop, cryptographic elements) and associated them with the figure of the prophet, thus highlighting the predictive nature of the works of Eric Hughes (Cypherpunk Manifesto, 1988) and Timothy C. May (Crypto Anarchist Manifesto, 1993) as well as of the blockchain inventors Stuart Haber and Scott Stornetta (How to Time-Stamp a Digital Document, The Journal of Cryptography, 1991).
