The MIAMI Vibes: AI Footwear Design Challenge is a pioneering competition combining technology, creativity, fashion, and heritage to redefine footwear innovation. Organized by the MIAMI Shoe Museum, this challenge invites designers worldwide to explore AI’s transformative potential in shoe design. Following the success of its inaugural edition in 2024, we are excited to launch the second edition in 2025. This year, we tribute the legendary Celia Cruz, celebrating her centennial by reimagining her iconic cantilever shoes through AI. Join us in honoring the past while shaping the future of footwear design!
