Would you 3D print your shoes one day?
They will probably be overpriced compared to manufacturing costs, just like Crocs.
That has always been the case. Nike is notorious for using overseas sweat shops where children work their fingers to the bone for $0.50 an hour. It probably costs Nike a couple bucks to make a $200 shoe, if that. But they spend billions on advertising, celebrity endorsements, political
bribescontributions, and yachts, so it’s not all profit.mfg cost is nothing compared to marketing and shipping and retail channel and design and lawyers and engineering and accounting etc
You wouldn’t download…a shoe?
I’ll download anything that is useful to me.
More RAM?
I tried to download more ram once and now my computer keeps opening up some Russian banking website at odd hours of the night.
You wouldn’t download a trainer.
They’re horrible looking.
And entirely ridiculous.
Says the Crocs© wearer. 🤢😅
Are less kids involved in making them now?!
Heavens no, they have families to feed. The kids monitor the print process, use their fingers to test nozzle temp, load spools, and allow management to work out their problems through various forms of abuse.
Whoa whoa whoa, i didn’t say no kids just the good ones that can do the work of all the ones not needed. And no we didn’t pay them more, less actually, since we have to re coup the cost of the new hardware. Don’t talk crazy talk
I mean … I would … but I certainly wouldn’t waste my time printing those abominations 🤮
It looks like they designed the top half of a shoe and then ran out of money/ideas and had to 3d print the bottom. But its nike, so the sneaker heads will buy it up. They really cant fail at this point.
