Next week at CES, Austin-based Shift Robotics will debut a revamped version of their viral hit robotic shoes. The Moonwalker X is a full pound lighter per shoe and features some key control system upgrades. The new shoes will also be available in smaller sizes.
The original Moonwalkers caused a major splash online when they were announced via Kickstarter in October 2022. Videos of users appearing to effortlessly glide across sidewalks helped propel the campaign to $329,000.
