Seem awfully weird to me to have marketing teams and people working on cad designs when the basic concept hasn't even been proven in 6 prototypes. at least the VR application of the concept of motorized shoes hasn't been proven. I guess this is just a "stepping stone" if you'll pardon the expression, toward a general purpose motorized shoe. So if this VR aspect is just a side trip on their grand scheme, maybe it makes more sense to have such a team in place working on what they are.

I think "Marketing Team" is a pretty generous term. This is one of those dudes using inkscape/the gimp and they got someone on UpWork to cad up a shoe from a sketch. Maybe did it themselves, but don't know how to go get some free substance materials to render that with a fabric and rubber look that would light properly. There is nothing about this that says professional design or marketing folks are involved. No one seems to even know what a color wheel is or basic rules of text readability. How many fonts did they download? Shit looks like a 90's rave flier. I'm all for DIY, whacky hardware projects (have a couple myself), and MythBustin'. But I think after they finished prototype number six everyone went over to Cody's house all drunk and went Old Man Ham on it. Jesus christ guys, get on Shutterstock and buy some templates. EDIT: I totally just realized that this project is the engineer equivalent of a neighborhood dad garage band. Rock on brothers. Rock on.
