According to the tech giant, the concept is simple to make a certain move with your sneakers and your Samsung phone reacts. The different movements correspond to actions on your phone. For example, you can make calls or play music with the moonwalk by dancing.
Samsung has developed this Limited Edition sneaker especially for its Members fanbase. It’s important to note that only six pairs exist of this Shortcut Sneaker.
Sneaker designer Roel van Hoff created a design inspired by the Galaxy and the universe.
The shoe contains materials reminiscent of meteorites and supernovae with their own textures and colours. Every detail of the sneaker references Samsung’s Galaxy products, according to the company.
There are motion sensors in the sole of the sneakers that continuously track the position in relation to each other.
