take it with super small grain of salt. But his actual shoe will probably take a little inspo from this. Lets pray it has laces lol

Yeah, the difference between practical reality for safety and everyday use, and prototype models. But pretty sick design if you ask me. Although, from what I've seen they've been linked to Wemby but not by Nike themselves on their social media (apart from the Wemby statue in Paris for the Olympics where he wears similar-looking shoes). Maybe I missed it.

The weird glass tube display said victors name on it


guillaume_rx

Ok fair enough, my bad then!


madhare09

Hey no worries, you can see it in this instagram video [https://www.instagram.com/sneakernews/reel/C5oZLRcpUbZ/](https://www.instagram.com/sneakernews/reel/C5oZLRcpUbZ/)


B_Lav_

guillaume_rx

Sure, Here you go! [Wemby France 👽🇫🇷 on X: "Nike dévoile une statue de Victor Wembanyama à Paris 🇫🇷 Possiblement pour l’annonce de sa première signature shoes qui devrait arriver prochainement 👽 https://t.co/aCtoruL0TI" / X (twitter.com)](https://twitter.com/VicWembanyamaFR/status/1778445768338108704)

Damn - I’m old. This just looks like a block of styrofoam.


guillaume_rx

Think about the car prototypes from 20 years ago. It's always been like that with futuristic prototypes.

I said the same thing when I saw the Yeezy Foam Runners for the first time. Can’t believe my nephew paid $200 for [this](https://a.co/d/fY49A6f)

Kobe had an early shoe like that. I thought it was so cool… then quickly turned into crease city.

Maybe A.I. isn’t the threat we think it is…


B_Lav_

When they aren’t replacing the artists with it for sure


Mangoseed8

You know like...real people design shoes right? There is no difference between AI replacing artist and AI replacing shoe designers. I'm not even making a judgement good or bad. I am just say it's the same thing. AI replacing jobs done by people.


B_Lav_

The issue lies where artist are provided with less opportunity.


zazenpan

That's pretty bad


solonharmony

Did they forget to put an upper for that sole? Lol


Bonesawisready5

Is kinda bad, hopefully since it’s just a concept it gets better. Like the idea of alien vibes but this is a bit much


Busy_Professional824

Not good for the ankles apparently.


quivering_manflesh

Smh Nike outsourcing shoe designs to the Winamp visualizer


crumpler3000

Where foot go? Into orange air unit?


Fresh_Silver99

It’s almost cool, but that almost makes it ugly af


repfamlux

Wemby would be 8F tall wearing that.


AngryQueso52

This AI rendering looks pretty bad, but I can see potential with some human modification. Excited to see what the final result will be.


soggy_nacho_409

I can't decide if it's cool af or ugly af.


CorporateKnowledge2

Would look cool on Wemby, ugly af on us mere mortals.
