I have seen your project. However, I think claiming "first" is disingenuous. There are many projects like ours that date back at least 3 years. We just happen to undertake these projects at a time when algorithms are better and results are palatable.

A few years ago, I interviewed at StockX, and the team was working on exactly this – using GANs to generate pictures of shoes. Interesting to see essentially the same thing here a few years later.

Thank you for all your support, guys! I was not expecting this much traffic. I am currently in the process of moving my site to a better server.

While this is in progress, only the images cached by Cloudflare can be loaded. This means that the editor for most shoes will not work. I apologize for the inconvenience!
