The robotic gear can help a regular user run a mile in 10 to 12 minutes, Nike says.
Nike on Thursday unveiled Project Amplify, a new line of shoes that comes with a robotic system to help you walk and run more with less effort.
The footwear, still in development, comes with a lightweight yet powerful motor, a drive belt, a rechargeable cuff battery, and a carbon fiber-plated running shoe—which can be used without the robotic gear as well.
Together, the system is engineered to mimic natural lower-leg and ankle movements, and it could be considered « a second set of calf muscles », Nike says.
