exclusive drops
Scarce product launches
Exclusive drops are limited-release products made available suddenly and in small quantities, creating urgency and scarcity.
The term comes from streetwear and sneaker culture, where brands "drop" coveted items without warning: I stayed up all night to catch the exclusive drop.
The practice has spread to NFTs, luxury goods, and online retail generally.
