ISLAMABAD: Jyo John Mulloor, founder of JJM AI Studio and known as a creative dreamer and storyteller, has confirmed that the so-called flying shoes, “Aerofoot,” were not a real innovation.
The Dubai-based digital artist came forward after social media users widely claimed that the viral video featuring a man wearing “flying shoes” (Aerofoot) at GITEX Global 2029 was fake.
Several users verified this through reverse image searches, revealing that the person behind the Aerofoot visuals was in fact digital artist Mulloor himself.
The video, which surfaced two days ago on various social media platforms, showed a person apparently levitating a few feet above a podium while wearing futuristic sneakers labeled “Aerofoot.” The clip quickly went viral due to its realistic visuals and the suggestion that it was filmed during a future edition of GITEX Global, one of the world’s leading tech exhibitions.
Mulloor later clarified that the footage was not an AI-generated concept as it was produced for creative storytelling__not a genuine technological breakthrough.
