Good morning! This is Betty Lin-Fisher with Friday's consumer-focused edition of The Daily Money. |

Will an AI-designed 3D printed slide shoe catch on? |
Last week, I interviewed Joe Foster, the 89-year-old co-founder of Reebok and Ben Weiss, a 25-year-old entrepreneur. The two have teamed up with other advisers, including Kevin Harrington of Shark Tank fame, to release what they say is the first AI-designed, fully 3D printed shoe commercially available to consumers. |
The slide shoe, which sells for $149.99, gets its design inspiration from a yacht and a spaceship, Weiss said. |
The team is banking on the popularity of slides being big with the work-from-home-culture. |
Take a look at the story I worked on with some really cool graphics from my colleague Stephen Beard. |
