I made these images based on a few of my favorite photos posted by a friend @feet45paris on Instagram.
A thematic signature is his Adidas slides, so I intentionally used Adidas for all of these images. Unfortunately, as I had previously written, Midjourney is terrible at generating feet, so I can only try to create images of sneakers here.
My favorite photo on his stream is his feet on a black suitcase, but I wanted to just take the concept of it. Even with image prompt, MJ has had very serious trouble reproducing the angle. I also tried SD with varying degrees of success. Ultimately I decided to just compose with suitcase for travel, and also used a hotel room as a result. MJ is absolutely tripping up with legs on suitcase because it just places the man inside it. They’re funny, so I’m posting them here.
The first two images show another direction I tried, which is a man pointing at the shoes, to essentially highlight what you should be looking at. In some ways this is somewhat demanding and I thought that it could be interesting. The second pointing shows a smaller pair of shoes. It’s like a taunt saying “your shoe is not as big as mine”. The rest of this set is an assorted collection from the series.
