The company unveiled the world&#8217;s first <strong>motor-assisted<\/strong> shoe system, named &#8220;Project Amplify.&#8221; Moreover, this technology is coming not for <strong>professional athletes<\/strong>, but for everyday users who want to run or cover longer distances with less effort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video\"><video height=\"270\" style=\"aspect-ratio: 480 \/ 270;\" width=\"480\" autoplay controls muted src=\"https:\/\/metaverseplanet.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/24102025170958012.mp4\"><\/video><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The First Power-Assisted Sneaker<\/strong> Nike describes Project Amplify as a &#8220;<strong>second calf muscle<\/strong>.&#8221; According to the company&#8217;s statement, the system supports the natural movement of the calf and ankle muscles during running and walking, thereby enabling faster and easier strides. Amplify is <strong>optimized<\/strong> for users running at a speed of approximately 150-160 meters per minute. Nike partnered with the robotics technology company Dephy during the development process and tested the system on over 400 athletes. It is stated that a total of 2.4 million steps were analyzed in these tests. Project Amplify works with movement <strong>algorithms<\/strong> developed by the Nike Sport Research Lab and is supported by components such as a lightweight <strong>motor<\/strong>, a drive belt, and a rechargeable cuff <strong>battery<\/strong> integrated into the shoe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"720\" height=\"427\" src=\"https:\/\/metaverseplanet.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/indir-1-24.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-31934\" srcset=\"https:\/\/metaverseplanet.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/indir-1-24.webp 720w, https:\/\/metaverseplanet.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/indir-1-24-300x178.webp 300w, https:\/\/metaverseplanet.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/indir-1-24-150x89.webp 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Nike, the system is designed to be integrated into a <strong>carbon fiber-plated<\/strong> running shoe. Users can choose to use it with the <strong>robotic assist mode<\/strong> or as a classic shoe only. The bad news is that Project Amplify is not yet ready for commercial release. Nike, however, says it will go on sale in the coming years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">You Might Also Like;<\/h3>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__list wp-block-latest-posts\"><li><a class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__post-title\" href=\"https:\/\/metaverseplanet.net\/blog\/decoding-toyotas-cue7-basketball-robot\/\">The AI Revolution on the Court: Decoding Toyota&#8217;s CUE7 Basketball Robot<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__post-title\" href=\"https:\/\/metaverseplanet.net\/blog\/the-dark-side-of-nanotechnology\/\">The Dark Side of Nanotechnology: Could Microscopic Swarms Erase Billions?<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__post-title\" href=\"https:\/\/metaverseplanet.net\/blog\/the-illusion-of-digital-immortality\/\">The Illusion of Digital Immortality: Are You Really Uploading Your Mind?<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nike introduced Project Amplify, a motorized footwear system that supports leg muscles during walking and running.
