Chrome sneakers are few and far between these days, mainly because the vinyl-like patent leather is hard to work with and shows every imperfection they present. This gorgeous pair of Chrome Air Jordan 4 sneakers was created using AI, eliminating that minor issue and delivering a stunning pair of sneakers that fit almost perfectly into the Dune universe.
Chrome Air Jordan 4 Sneakers
Zendaya stepped out on the red carpet for the premiere of Dune, looking like the world’s most glorious machine, in a complete vintage Mugler look. It took a little while for the look to inspire many artists worldwide to start on their own creations, and Michele Torresi transferred the gorgeous concept onto various sneakers using AI.
The best of the bunch is a pair of Chrome Air Jordan 4 sneakers, which are dripping from collar to toe in mirror-like chrome. Even the rubber of the midsole looks like a perfectly smooth and reflective surface.
Although the sneakers are rendered with AI, we have seen gorgeous sneakers similarly rendered in gorgeous patent leather, so we can only assume that a similar method would be used to create the look of these sneakers.
The main feature of the sneakers is the straps, which have been added as additional hardware over the laces, working perfectly with the lacewing supports.
Even the tongue label is brought to life in magnificent chrome, with the usual black Jumpman logo sported front and centre and with a foot lining that matches the black of the logo. The black lining can easily be seen thanks to the mesh and cutouts for which the Jordan 4 silhouette is well-known.
The sneakers are absolutely gorgeous and should have walked the red carpet along with Zendaya’s look for Dune.
If you don’t like the Air Jordan 4 look…
If the Chrome Air Jordan 4’s aren’t quite your thing, artist @micheletorresi has yet to leave you to the wayside. He has created some other gorgeous concepts using the same technology and insight.
The concepts include a stunning pair of wacky and futuristic Chrome adidas Stan Smith sneakers, a mirror-like pair of modified Chrome Converse Chuck 70 Plus Summer Utility High sneaker boots, and last but not least, a gorgeous pair of modified Reebok Pump boots that look like they should be attached to a space suit.
Each pair of Chrome sneakers is just as gorgeous as the last, with its mirror-like chrome surface reflecting the harsh sun and environment of the dunes around them, perfect for the concept that Zendaya brought to life with her Mugler red carpet look.
AI-Generated Concept Sneakers
Although these sneakers are gorgeous to look at, that is as far as the viewing pleasure goes because these sneakers are just an AI-generated concept.
Since AI has become more skilled at knitting images together, it has been a popular choice for designing fabulous and fantabulous sneakers. However, some fans may be disappointed that the sneakers aren’t genuine. While some artists use their incredible skills to turn their AI-generated concepts into a reality, this pair is different.
While we don’t doubt it could happen eventually, we will have to enjoy these sneakers for what they are: a glorious figment of Michele Torresi’s imagination that he brought to life through incredible digital skill and artistry.
What do you think of these Chrome Air Jordan 4 sneakers? Would they have worked perfectly for Zendaya’s Mugler red carpet look?
