Today's episode is with Fabricio da Costa P. Machado  Fabricio was a designer for Nike for over 15 years where he worked on the original Vaporfly Breaking 2 project, the Streakfly and the Alpha 2 to name but a few.  Before this, he was a professional skateboarder who used his sponsorship money to fund his way through college but even before the formal education he was already designing and crafting skate shoes for the brand that supported him.  In this conversation, we talk about A.I generative art, his career as a skateboarder, working at Nike and gaining an insight into creating some of the most talked about running footwear the world has ever seen.
