Nike has revealed Project Amplify Robotic Footwear System— an early concept design of a battery-powered anklet that attaches to the lower leg to give users a motorized boost while walking or running.

Developed with bionic footwear company Dephy, the system is designed to enhance natural ankle and leg movement, adding extra power to everyday motion.
