FLIRTING WITH AI! I have started to try NewArc.ai these days. I think it's like a junior designer taking your lines and interpreting them without knowing your intention even if you write a good promt, without knowing the development and how materials react. Yes this lack of perfection creates that "beginner ignorance factor" which allows AI generate with more freedom to give some interesting details and points of view which for a senior designer is hard to achieve. Sometimes knowing how things are made limits you. I like my new playground, it's really inspiring! (The fourth image is the closest to what I had in mind. ) PS: I know I am a technical footwear designer yet high fashion and feminine shoes are my real passion. Who knows maybe it's not too late add a segment to my product design range ;) Which AI are you trying these days?

NIKE SHOE CONCEPT WAS DESIGNED BY AI Highsnobiety This past week in Paris, Nike unveiled an “A.I.R” (Athlete Imagined Revolution) concept shoe designed by artificial intelligence for the rookie NBA talent Victor Wembanyama. The unveiling was at a Nike Air event for the upcoming Olympics and also featured A.I.R concept sneakers for athletes like Sha'Carri Richardson, Aja Wilson, Zheng Qinwen, and Sam Kerr.  The shoe looks like it was pulled from another galaxy or dimension and I am here for it. AI's propensity to conjure up new organic-looking shapes almost always looks aesthetically appealing.  To produce the A.I.R. prototypes, Nike designers worked with Victor Wembanyama to create what the athlete believed would be the perfect shoe. Using these insights as well as individual athletes' data, the designers then proceeded to use AI to generate the shoe and 3D print the silhouettes presented in Paris this week.   According to Nike, Wemby designed his shoe with low-profile, responsive Air cushioning extending from the forefoot across the lateral side for stability. The Air unit's pixelated, fractal design draws inspiration from his passion for sci-fi and jewelry, notably the bismuth stone from his draft night. The shoe’s upper showcases an abstract computational print. Victor Wembanyama has had an impressive rookie season, to say the least — quickly dismissing any potential critics by posting historic averages of 21.3 points, 10.6 rebounds, 3.8 assists, and 3.6 blocks per game. It's clear Wemby is going to be a star. These do seem like a fitting debut shoe for a potential leader in the league. And standing at 7'4'' and wearing size-20.5 shoes Wemby will probably need something special from Nike.  learn more: https://lnkd.in/gDTGvphh #ai #metaverse #fashion #investment

The AI Revolution in Footwear Design: Crafting Tomorrow’s Sneakers Today The advent of Generative Artificial Intelligence marks a watershed moment in the evolution of technology’s role across various industries. From healthcare and entertainment to automotive design and beyond, Generative AI is not just a tool but a transformative force, reshaping how creativity and productivity intersect in the professional realm. Its impact on product design, particularly in industries dedicated to physical goods like footwear, underscores a revolution in the making. https://lnkd.in/dNZ9Ypet #ai #generativeai #artificialintelligence #footweardesign #sneakerdesign

AI-Designed Kicks: The Future of Footwear Fashion. Nike's recent collaboration introduces *airegan, a sneaker designed with artificial intelligence, marking a significant shift in how design processes are perceived and executed. Dan Moore, a digital artist and avid sneaker enthusiast, utilized AI visual engines to analyze thousands of Nike designs, generating new hybrid concepts. This project, a fusion of technology and artistic creativity, questions the traditional boundaries of design authorship and intellectual property in the digital age. The sneaker, blending AI-generated aesthetics with practical design adjustments, highlights an innovative approach where AI aids in rapid prototyping, expanding creative possibilities far beyond traditional methods. The AI's influence on design extends to subtle tweaks in color and pattern, ensuring commercially viable outcomes while retaining unique artistic expressions. This initiative not only redefines collaborative design but also stimulates discussions around AI's role in creative industries. #NikeAI #SneakerTech #AIinDesign #FashionInnovation #CreativeAI #TechStyle https://lnkd.in/d4HGWBvp

📣 𝗦𝗻𝗲𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗿 𝗕𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗱𝘀 𝗘𝗺𝗯𝗿𝗮𝗰𝗲 𝗧𝗲𝗰𝗵: Nike, On, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 RTFKT 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗴𝗲 At Limitless Innovation, we partner with top luxury brands to drive #fashiontech forward. Today, we’re excited to showcase how leading brands are turning to new technologies to spark a revival. Here’s a look at how Nike, On, and RTFKT are redefining footwear with innovative tech. 🚀 𝙊𝙣'𝙨 𝙍𝙚𝙫𝙤𝙡𝙪𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙖𝙧𝙮 𝙎𝙣𝙚𝙖𝙠𝙚𝙧 🛠️ #On is turning heads with its #Cloudboom Strike LS, a sneaker created using LightSpray technology. This robot-powered, spray-on shoe takes just three minutes to make, featuring a sock-like fit thanks to its automated production process. It’s a bold leap into tech-driven footwear. 💡 𝙉𝙞𝙠𝙚’𝙨 𝘼𝙄-𝘿𝙧𝙞𝙫𝙚𝙣 𝙄𝙣𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 🦾 #Nike is also making waves with its Air innovation concept, introduced at a Paris summit. The brand showcased 13 AI-generated sneakers co-designed with athletes like Kylian Mbappé and LeBron James. This move reinforces Nike’s position as a leader in the industry, leveraging #AI to enhance design and production. 📉 𝙈𝙖𝙧𝙠𝙚𝙩 𝙎𝙝𝙞𝙛𝙩𝙨 ⚡ The push towards tech comes as the sneaker market faces hurdles. Nike has forecasted a revenue drop for fiscal 2025, and Adidas saw a significant profit decline last year. The once-thriving sneaker resale market is also cooling off. In response, brands are investing heavily in #technology to stay competitive. 💡 𝙏𝙚𝙘𝙝 𝙄𝙣𝙩𝙚𝙜𝙧𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 🧩 Nike’s adoption of #digital tools, including #4D motion capture and augmented reality via Nike Fit, is reshaping its production and consumer engagement. Meanwhile, German-American innovator Zellerfeld is using #3D printing to create sustainable, intricate designs. 🔗 𝘽𝙡𝙤𝙘𝙠𝙘𝙝𝙖𝙞𝙣 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙉𝙁𝙏𝙨 🪙 #Blockchain technology is creating new opportunities in the sneaker world. Nike-acquired #RTFKT has excelled with its #Web3-connected footwear, generating $1.4 billion in trading volume. Similarly, Sol3mates, a blockchain-native brand, is making waves with NFT-linked sneakers that offer exclusive perks. 🏆 𝙋𝙚𝙧𝙛𝙤𝙧𝙢𝙖𝙣𝙘𝙚 𝙫𝙨. 𝙉𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡𝙩𝙮 🌟 While tech advancements generate excitement, lasting success hinges on performance. As seen with On’s #LightSpray sneakers, which Kenyan runner Hellen Obiri wore to a bronze medal finish at the Paris 2024 Olympics, #innovation needs to prove its practical benefits. As the sneaker industry accelerates into a tech-driven future, balancing novelty with real-world utility will be key to sustaining interest and driving sales. Stay tuned with Limitless Innovation for more insights on how technology is revolutionizing the fashion industry. #SneakerTech #Innovation #FootwearRevolution

PICTURE TO PANTONE AI This week we gave another amazing AI class at Skechers HQ in Manhattan Beach in Los Angeles, our 3rd already! This time we focused on some very practical workflows, such as applications that help both footwear and apparel designers create AI renders in the actual Pantone colors and materials they want. This still takes a smart combination of a few AI applications, one of which we created ourselves at Footwearology: the Picture to Pantone GPT! This is such a huge time saver for designers and developers that we have now made it available for free to everyone through the GPT store: https://lnkd.in/dvtht-Vu It is super simple: you just upload a picture - does not have to be a shoe - and the GPT immediately gives you the Textile Pantone numbers (TPG system) that are in it, including the page number in the fan, the name and the HEX Code, so you can easily look it up and use it in other digital applications as well. We have tested it numerous times now and it is very exact. Of course, we do advise you to always check the colors on the actual Pantone swatches, because they might look different in real life than on the screen, but so far this GPT has proven to be a real time saver! Would you also like us to train your team in AI? Then drop us a message on info@footwearology.com Are you an individual designer that wants to use AI? Then check our online AI course for footwear: https://lnkd.in/d38dYvkE. You can join that any time you like and watch the videos at your own pace. We regularly update the content with new applications! #AI #footwearinnovation #designhack
