Exclusive GenAI Sneakers : Balmain and Ant Kai

Balmain and Ant Kai teamed up with Space Runners to explore the use of generative AI in sneaker creation. Balmain and Space Runners set out with the intention to offer “unparalleled freedom” to the American artist, who put a unique spin on the luxury brand’s Unicorn silhouette.

These one-of-a-kind, exclusive Unicorn sneakers can only be found at the brand’s recently opened Atlanta flagship, as well as its e-commerce site, and they speak to a younger consumer base. Beyond the way that they artfully play with AI, the luxury sneakers are set up alongside digital collectibles on Polygon. With the assistance of an AI tool, users can step into the shoes of an artist and create their own personalized NFTs.
