Nike’s Robotic Shoe Gets Humans One Step Closer to Cyborg

At the end of each step, the motor pulls up on the heel of the shoe. The device is calibrated so the movement of the motor can match the natural movement of each person's ankle and lower leg. The result is that each step is powered, or given a little bit of a spring and an extra push by the robot mechanism.
