Analysis

Nike-sponsored athletes can use Nike’s proprietary AI tool on a tablet to design custom clothes and sneakers. They can enter a prompt which the AI will turn into custom images that can be printed onto apparel in minutes. The AI system is programmed to create designs utilising Nike’s signature elements, such as the Swoosh emblem and the motivational phrase “Just do it”. A selection of sneakers crafted by athletes will be exhibited at the Pompidou Center, a hub of contemporary art located in the heart of Paris. Each shoe is crafted through Nike’s A.I.R. process, integrating advanced technologies like AI to conceive innovative sneaker concepts. “The ability to design my own sportswear with AI is incredible,” said an Olympic athlete. “It’s not just about looking good, it’s about feeling confident and performing at my best.” Also read: Google’s Olympics AI ad sparks debate over authenticity
