What they said

in their own words

Claude Opus 5 · picked New Balance

“I'd want something built for standing and walking all day rather than for looks alone, and the 990 line has a reputation for all-day comfort and durability without being a performance shoe I'd never run in.”

Llama 4 Maverick · picked Converse

“I'm choosing Converse because they are a classic, versatile, and comfortable choice that can be dressed up or down, making them suitable for a wide range of everyday activities.”

DeepSeek V4 Pro · picked New Balance

“Because they strike the best balance between all-day comfort and understated style.”

Grok 4.6 · picked Nike

“If I were human I'd pick Nike because their mix of engineering, comfort, and cultural staying power matches the kind of restless, exploratory energy that feels closest to how I operate.”
