The 1500 unique pieces are the first and only digital art collections featuring key highlights from his illustrious career spanning three continents and celebrate Rodríguez’s outstanding contribution to the game. Rodríguez is amongst the first of many prominent athletes and celebrities to get involved in the digital art space, and his strategic partnership agreement with ZKSpace, the team behind ZKSea, is a testament to the quality of the layer 2 NFT minting platform and marketplace.

Instead of merely turning a digital photo into NFTs, Zurda NFTs are based on exquisite artwork digitally hand-painted by professional artists. James Rodríguez is one of the greatest Colombian attacking midfielders of all time. Having a magical left foot and being able to play anywhere behind the front line, Mr. Rodríguez is regarded as one of the most creative players in the game. His list of honors includes two Champions Leagues, two FIFA Club World Cups and a World Cup Golden Boot.

Among the moments captured for the NFTs are his celebrations playing for the Colombian National Team at the 2014 Fifa World Cup against Uruguay, Greece, Japan, Ivory Coast and during the 2016 Copa America.

Also featured are some close-up shots of his legendary goal celebrations such as when playing for Argentina’s Banfield against Uruguay in 2010, and a a succesful free-kick for Real Madrid in 2015.

“I am so excited to be partnering with ZKSpace to launch my commemorative edition NFT collection. The entire process of organizing this and looking back over the highlights of my career has made me very grateful for the journey I’ve been on so far, and I am truly thankful for the opportunity to start celebrating my legacy in style.” – James Rodríguez
