The world’s first AI-designed, 3D-printed shoe.

The Basilisk project began in July 2022 with an image I generated using DALL·E 2 and shared on my Instagram (@benjometry). Cornelius immediately recognized its potential as a 3D-printed shoe, which began a friendship and my journey with Zellerfeld.

Co-interpreted by the absolute legend Svet Abjo (White Lotus) and myself, the design evolved through numerous iterations, refining the shape for fit, aesthetics, and performance.

The latest version features Extra-Grippy Gorilla Grip Microtextures, algorithmically generated using GPT-4. Every surface is the result of computational intention, built for traction, precision, and expression.

Basilisk takes its name from both Roko’s and Langford’s Basilisks, thought experiments and cognitohazards that I ought not to say more about. 

To our knowledge Basilisk is the first AI-designed product commercially available. 

Born from AI. Sculpted by code. Printed for the future.

Basilisk is not just a shoe—it’s a signal.

How do I scan my feet?

Thats easy!

You just need a piece of paper and your mobile phone.

To scan your feet for Zellerfeld shoes, follow these steps:

After purchasing a pair of shoes, you will find a link on the "Thank You - Page" that will bring you to our scanning process in the same flow. If you dont use this method, we will send you an additional email reminder after ordering, so you can still scan your feet.

Scanning Instructions: The scanning process is browser-based, so you don't need to download any app. As long as your phone has a camera, you can proceed with the scan.

Accessing the Scan: Alternatively, you can go to the Zellerfeld website, log into your account, click on your profile, and select "My Footscan" to submit your scan.

This scanning method provides a more accurate fit than traditional shoe sizes.
