WTF, you can "grow" your own custom sneakers by designing your own transgenic stingray for its leather

, customizing a pair of sneakers isn’t just a matter of assembling pre-selected textiles and dyes. The Thailand-based label provides customers with the tools to engineer a bespoke stingray of their own, which it will breed live, then harvest for its leather. But you won’t find any of Rayfish’s catalog in nature. The company utilizes a process it calls “bio-customization” to combine patterns and colors from dozens of animal species, resulting in a transgenic “designer stingray” like no other.
