Shame it's dead right now. You can see some of the gen'd sneaks on: https://web.archive.org/web/20211011073927/https://thissneak...

Yeah, it looks like the server was not able to handle the visitors. I'm completely new to webhosting, but I will try to get everything back online soon.

Thanks for the archive link!

Wow, I think this would be pretty useful as a shopping guide in an online shop: Let the user pick a few models they like and render more items based on the chosen ones. Present actual sneakers you have in stock at the last step.

That's definitely a cool idea! I might ask around different webshops to see if they're interested in something like this.

Site is dead as of now, but looking at the renders [0] they all look like viable designs, and pretty close to actual sneakers.

I don't know if it's a testament to makers' creativity, as tbh there are way wilder sneaker designs released as actual products by Nike or Puma, or the limits set on the generating algorithms to stay within mainstream designs.
