STORY YOUMISSED
Those incredible water jet shoes you saw online, the “Hydrosteps” promising you could “skim across a glassy lake”, are nothing but a clever digital fake.
We saw the viral video, and while the thought of walking on water like a superhero is cool, the product does not exist.
The jet-powered shoes, which were claimed to offer “buttery-smooth control” for “epic summer stories,” have been circulating widely across the internet.
Here is the truth: The original content creator, known as “Inspiring Designs,” is known for creating high-quality, but completely fake, digital art and A.I.-generated concepts.
Their recent posts, which include an A.I.-created jelly recliner and a massive cabin fireplace, confirm their focus is on unreal digital designs, not functional products.
The viral video and images showcasing the sleek, jet-powered sneakers are simply computer-generated imagery (CGI). The water jet shoes are a prime example of a convincing viral hoax.
