Reebok has unveiled an innovative AI-powered fashion experience on Instagram, allowing users to customize digital sneakers through a unique and interactive process. The new feature, named Reebok Impact, enables users to transform their photos into bespoke sneaker designs.
How it works
To create a custom sneaker, users simply direct message Reebok Impact on Instagram. The AI then generates a digital sneaker, featuring the user’s image emblazoned on the side. Users can customize the colour and style of their image on one of three classic Reebok designs: the iconic Reebok Pump, Classic Leather, or Club C.

The AI experience is free for up to four sneaker creations. Users can purchase the digital files, which are compatible with 3D creation platforms like Unreal Editor. This allows users to have their avatars wear the AI-generated sneakers in metaverse environments and video games, including Open, the upcoming battle royale title based on the world of Ready Player One. Additionally, the original photo is stored in the sole of the sneaker to symbolize “the impact of the memory on the soul.”
