Through the Customatix.com website, customers could personalize various shoe designs and purchase their custom pairs. Each base design offered a wide range of customizable options, including materials, colors, text, and graphics, resulting in trillions of possible combinations.[1]
The web application was created by a dot com engineering company called Lutris Technologies. The Chief Designer was Noel Barnes and Production Manager was Daryl L Tempesta. The Cmax project was published in the magazine "HOW". Over 1 million images were created. Some shoes had 3 billion trillion combinations [citation needed].
Customized shoes were manufactured in China and shipped directly to the customer.
By mid-2004, the website had gone offline.
