The idea of 3D printing AI generated shoes is not new. Nike has debuted AI generated and 3D printed shoes, and others like Lightspray are also creating completely automated manufacturing methods.

Now enter Syntilay, the world’s first entirely AI-designed and 3D-printed thermoplastic polyurethane shoe. Syntilay used Midjourney AI to create the image, then the image was run back through Vizcom to generate the 3D model data. Generative AI was used one more time to apply some patterns to the final design to add some character. They’re then shipped to the printer for each order.

You can own your own for $149.99 a pair.

The 89 year old Joe Foster, who co-founded Reebok 60 years ago, is so interested in the idea that he is now helping to launch Syntilay.
