> The Syntilay company used Midjourney AI to create the basic shape of the shoe, after which an artist drew a sketch based on Midjourney's creation. That image was run back through Vizcom AI to produce a 3D computer model. After that model was created, generative AI was used to apply the patterns to the model, to give it some character.

I assumed this was going to be a functional evolutionary algorithm to make an efficient shape, it's just an image generator and an artist in the loop
