In customer service, AI-powered chatbots and virtual assistants have transformed the way brands interact with their customers, providing instant responses and personalized experiences.

Moreover, regarding creativity, AI tools are being used by brands create and design content and come up with marketing strategies. AI algorithms can analyze very large amounts of data to identify trends, optimize campaigns, and even generate captivating content. This not only saves time but also enables brands to stay ahead of the competition by adapting quickly to changing market dynamics.


We have decided to things a step further and test AI image generators with Nike.

At first, we wanted to see how AI would generate images for just Nike using different prompts:

Prompt 1: Generate captivating and innovative visuals that showcase the essence of Nike's brand identity. Emphasize the dynamic intersection of athletic performance, style, and cultural impact in Nike's sportswear. Highlight iconic sneaker designs, cutting-edge technology, and the brand's commitment to innovation. Infuse the images with energy, creativity, and the spirit of victory, reflecting Nike's influence in the world of sports and lifestyle. Explore dynamic compositions that resonate with a diverse audience, celebrating the brand's legacy and ongoing evolution.

Prompt 2: A Nike athlete breaking the finish line tape, with a Nike swoosh prominently displayed on their jersey.

Prompt 3: Imagine a world where Nike has partnered with the world's most iconic athletes to create a series of groundbreaking sportswear collections that push the boundaries of design and performance. Each collaboration features the unique style and expertise of the athlete, resulting in a collection that is both stylish and functional. Athletes from all sports and disciplines are represented, showcasing the versatility of Nike's brand and its commitment to empowering athletes of all levels.

Prompt 4: A Nike logo crafted from vibrant, flowing lines of energy.



The AI generator represented Nike in different forms and colors, from clothes to sneakers to colorful logo, showing Nike in all its aspects.

Then, we tried a different approach and tested different prompts. Since Nike is big on collaborations, we wanted to see how AI would generate images for collabs with different brands.


Nike x Marvel


Starting off with Marvel, we thought this collaboration would be an interesting one to see how AI would use Nike and Marvel superheroes.

We used a prompt that focuses on seamlessly integrating iconic superheroes and their distinctive elements into Nike's innovative sportswear. We used Leonardo.Ai to generate the images and we got the following:


Prompt: Produce compelling visuals illustrating the dynamic collaboration between Nike and Marvel. Showcase iconic superheroes and their distinctive elements seamlessly integrated into Nike's innovative sportswear. Emphasize the fusion of athletic performance and superhero aesthetics, capturing the essence of power, style, and adventure. Explore unique sneaker designs inspired by Marvel characters, creating a visual narrative that resonates with both sports enthusiasts and comic book fans. Infuse the images with energy, creativity, and the iconic storytelling that defines both Nike and Marvel.




Leonardo.Ai did not disappoint! As seen in the pictures above, AI used the different colors of the Marvel Superheroes and created Nike sneakers. For example, the colors in the first picture represents Iron Man, while the colors in the second represent Captain America.

These sneakers would perfect collectables for Marvel fans.


Nike x Disney


Another collaboration we went for was Nike x Disney. We wanted to test how creative would AI get with this collab, and the outcome was very creative.

Prompt: Generate visually enchanting images depicting the magical collaboration between Nike and Disney. Showcase beloved Disney characters seamlessly integrated into Nike's innovative sportswear, emphasizing the fusion of iconic storytelling and athletic performance.

Celebrate the magic of this collaboration through vibrant and dynamic compositions.




Leonardo.Ai, the image generator, incorporated Disney world of creativity and imagination with Nike’s different sneakers style, generating images of shoes that every little girl would dream of having.


Nike x Louis Vuitton


Finally, we wanted to see to Nike from a luxury point of view and we chose one most the most luxurious brands to collab with Louis Vuitton.

Prompt: Create visually striking images that epitomize the exclusive collaboration between Nike and Louis Vuitton. Showcase the seamless integration of high-fashion aesthetics from Louis Vuitton and athletic innovation from Nike, emphasizing unique and luxurious sneaker designs. Capture the essence of sophistication, creativity, and modern elegance in this collaboration.

The images seem so realistic as if the collaboration has been done. The colors chosen reflect luxury and Louis Vuitton’s image. The use of both logos also adds beautiful details to the shoes.






In conclusion, AI is a very powerful tool that every brand should be using to promote a better image leveraging its advancements to create exquisite experiences. The collaboration between AI and brands showcases the potential for transformative changes in how businesses operate and connect with their audiences, marking a significant shift in the landscape of modern commerce.
