these shoes do not yet exist: first NFT sneakers 100% generated by AI

first NFT sneakers 100% generated by artificial intelligence

created in berlin by the developer niels garve, AI sneaks is the first sneakers in NFT, 100% AI-generated. inspired by the possibilities of combining new technologies with creative areas, AI sneaks develop sneakers with the use of artificial intelligence, designing unique futuristic models that do not yet exist.

using thousands of existing sneaker models and a self-written code, the designer recreates them in original versions and different designs. the collection contains 10 AI/2D sneaker designs in a limited edition of eleven pairs for each design.

AI sneaks are unique futuristic models that do not yet exist

the main technology used by AI sneaks is a custom DCGAN, but some samples were also produced by an open-source and free licensed implementation of NVIDIA’s PROGAN. the self-written DCGAN is inspired by PyTorch tutorials, open-source projects on GitHub, and articles on medium. this collection is going to be available in NFT on open sea on the third of december.

as was described, it will be remembered as the first-ever released AI-sneaker collection. imagine wearing a pair of sneakers developed by AI and curated by designers. an exciting proposal for millions of tech/fashion and sneaker lovers.
