Shift Robotics, founded by a team of Carnegie Mellon robotic engineers, claims its Moonwalkers will increase your walking speed by up to 25%.
If you get a whiff of your strange new kicks, you may be able to get away from the school bully.
This isn't a prank. The company compares their invention to the dawn of the space age in a promotional video.
The way we walk isn't new. It's time to get it going.
We have some doubts about the ability of the Moonwalkers to bring about a new era in transportation.
The company says its Moonwalkers are the fastest shoes on the planet. They appear to be a combination of rollerblades and wheelies with six wheels on each foot that allow the wearer to get a little further with each step.
The wheels won't spin freely, but they will carry you further, but only at the right time.
The learning curve is usually under ten steps. You just walk quicker. Walk slowly. You stop walking.
It means a top speed of 7 mph. Six miles is how long a single battery charge lasts.
The company is hoping to sell these for more than a thousand dollars a pair.
We don't understand why this product needs to exist in a world of millions of seemingly better alternatives.
A pair of rollerblades can't do what the Moonwalkers can. The Moonwalkers set a low bar for looks and cost a fraction of the price.
If you want to join in on the fun, you don't need to raise money on a project like this.
The world's fastest shoes promise to increase your walking speed by two-thirds.
The startup says it has created an invisible shield.
