flag Nike’s motorized bionic sneakers, launching in 2028, use AI-powered leg shells to boost stride and reduce fatigue.

flag Nike’s Project Amplify, a bionic sneaker system with motorized leg shells, is set for a 2028 commercial launch. flag The system, tested at Nike’s Beaverton, Oregon, facility, uses 3D-printed titanium calf shells with embedded motors, sensors, and batteries to detect and adapt to a wearer’s stride, providing forward propulsion during walking or running. flag Controlled via a smartphone app, it aims to help everyday users move farther and faster with greater confidence, addressing "personal range anxiety" caused by fatigue or discomfort. flag The technology, described as an "e-bike for your feet," is part of a growing trend of wearable exoskeletons and motorized footwear showcased at CES, with some systems targeting mobility assistance and others performance enhancement. flag While current prototypes offer about 10 kilometers of battery life, the system represents a significant advancement in digital, adaptive footwear, potentially transforming how people walk and run.
