Are these AI-designed shoes the future of footwear?
Syntilay has launched AI-designed, 3D-printed shoes.
The footwear was designed with a mix of Midjourney and Vizcom AI
The $150 shoes use smartphone foot scans for a fully customized fit.
If you like Crocs but wish they had more of a science-fiction backstory, you’re in luck. A startup company named Syntilay is using AI and 3D printing to produce a new line of shoes. The futuristic footwear is available now for $150 a pair. These slides aren’t cheap, but innovation rarely is.
Syntilay uses a mix of AI tools supplemented by human artistry to create its shoes, which look more than a little like a deep sea fish at first glance. The designers relied on Midjourney to develop the basic shape of the shoe. After that, a human artist refined the idea with a sketch for inspiration uploaded to Vizcom AI, which produced a 3D model based on the sketch. AI then helped design and embed textures and patterns into the shoe design, completing their look.
