The video is associated with the title &#8220;Gitex&#8221; or &#8220;GITEX&#8221; (a tech exhibition). The combination of an event-like setting and the futuristic product presentation has contributed to the clip gaining traction on multiple platforms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe frameBorder='0' width='640' height='360' webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen allowfullscreen src=\"https:\/\/www.awesomescreenshot.com\/embed?id=45571685&#038;shareKey=0c3678733f2bfae809e69fe6677a379b\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/reel\/691139953543011\">Source<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.awesomescreenshot.com\/video\/45571685?key=0c3678733f2bfae809e69fe6677a379b\">Archive<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"931\" src=\"https:\/\/srilanka.factcrescendo.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/image-58-1024x931.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-16237\" srcset=\"https:\/\/srilanka.factcrescendo.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/image-58-1024x931.png 1024w, https:\/\/srilanka.factcrescendo.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/image-58-300x273.png 300w, https:\/\/srilanka.factcrescendo.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/image-58-768x699.png 768w, https:\/\/srilanka.factcrescendo.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/image-58.png 1372w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/reel\/DQGcj_kCLHP\/\">Source<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.awesomescreenshot.com\/image\/57055670?key=90dadaa57bc5b3d220c16476e6bf13c3\">Archive<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Fact Check<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After using the reverse image search feature to trace to the origin of the ivdeo, we found that the individual behind the Aerofoot videos is identified as <strong>Jyo John Mulloor<\/strong>, a digital artist based in Dubai who founded JJM\u202fAI\u202fStudio. On <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/jyojohnmulloor\">his Facebook page<\/a> the bio describes the studio as: \u201cJJM AI Studio is a visionary digital art studio founded by Jyo John Mulloor. Specializing in AI-powered creations, Based in Dubai, JJM AI Studio pushes the boundaries of modern art and storytelling.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The fact that his professional work focuses on AI-generated visuals and conceptual art rather than hardware engineering strongly suggests the Aerofoot project was conceived as digital art rather than an actual flying-footwear prototype.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In response to Fact Crescendo\u2019s inquiry, Jyo John Mulloor confirmed:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>\u201cYes, the Aerofoot Demo video was created by me. Aerofoot is purely a fictional, conceptual creation. It is not a real product, but a piece of digital art designed to spark imagination through visual storytelling.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Footage analysis<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To further verify the video&#8217;s authenticity, we analyzed it using AI-detection tools. We ran frames from the viral clip through detectors such as <a href=\"https:\/\/wasitai.com\/\">Was It AI<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/sightengine.com\/detect-deepfakes\">Sightengine<\/a>. Both flagged the visuals as highly likely to be AI-generated. The results indicated that the Aerofoot footage was not filmed at a real event, but rather created using AI video-generation technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"748\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/srilanka.factcrescendo.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/image-59-748x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-16238\" srcset=\"https:\/\/srilanka.factcrescendo.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/image-59-748x1024.png 748w, https:\/\/srilanka.factcrescendo.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/image-59-219x300.png 219w, https:\/\/srilanka.factcrescendo.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/image-59-768x1051.png 768w, https:\/\/srilanka.factcrescendo.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/image-59-1122x1536.png 1122w, https:\/\/srilanka.factcrescendo.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/image-59.png 1169w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 748px) 100vw, 748px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>No Official Documentation of \u201cAerofoot\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite the viral nature of the footage, there is no evidence of any registered company manufacturing Aerofoot shoes, no patent filings under the name Aerofoot relating to flying footwear, and no credible reports from recognised technology media about a working prototype. Real innovations in personal flight or wearable mobility devices typically come with press releases, engineering data, investor announcements or prototype demonstrations, in this case, none of these are visible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Technical Feasibility<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From an engineering standpoint, the idea that a person could fly simply by wearing shoes is currently not feasible, because modern batteries offer far too little energy density to power the thrust needed. For example, jet fuel has an energy density nearly 50 times higher than typical lithium-ion batteries, meaning compact wearable devices such as \u201cflying shoes\u201d would require breakthroughs in power\u2010to\u2010weight and thrust\u2010to\u2010weight ratios that do not exist in today\u2019s technology. (<a href=\"https:\/\/jetpackaviation.com\/the-state-of-battery-technology\/\">Source<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In light of the evidence, the claim that Aerofoot allows people to fly is <strong>false<\/strong>. There is no verifiable technology behind the \u201cflying shoes,\u201d no public prototype, no engineering data or credible industry coverage supporting the product. Instead, the footage appears to be a creative digital artwork produced by a visual artist specialising in AI-generated content. While the idea of flying shoes remains an intriguing vision for the future of mobility, in this case, it remains firmly in the realm of concept rather than reality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<!DOCTYPE html>\n\t\t\t\t\t<html>\n\t\t\t\t\t<head>\n\t\t\t\t\t<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width, initial-scale=1\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<style>\n\t\t\t\t\t.container {\n\t\t\t\t\t  border: 2px solid #000;\n\t\t\t\t\t  background-color: #eee;\n\t\t\t\t\t  border-radius: 5px;\n\t\t\t\t\t  padding: 16px;\n\t\t\t\t\t  margin: 16px 0\n\t\t\t\t\t}\n\n\t\t\t\t\t.container::after {\n\t\t\t\t\t  content: \"\";\n\t\t\t\t\t  clear: both;\n\t\t\t\t\t  display: table;\n\t\t\t\t\t}\n\n\t\t\t\t\t.container img {\n\t\t\t\t\t  float: left;\n\t\t\t\t\t  margin-right: 20px;\n\t\t\t\t\t  border-radius: 50%;\n\t\t\t\t\t}\n\n\t\t\t\t\t.container span {\n\t\t\t\t\t  font-size: 20px;\n\t\t\t\t\t  margin-right: 15px;\n\t\t\t\t\t}\n\n\t\t\t\t\t@media (max-width: 500px) {\n\t\t\t\t\t  .container {\n\t\t\t\t\t\t  text-align: center;\n\t\t\t\t\t  }\n\t\t\t\t\t  .container img {\n\t\t\t\t\t\t  margin: auto;\n\t\t\t\t\t\t  float: none;\n\t\t\t\t\t\t  display: block;\n\t\t\t\t\t  }\n\t\t\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/head>\n\t\t\t\t\t<body>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t  <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.factcrescendo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/False.png\" alt=\"Avatar\" style=\"width:120px\">\n\t\t\t\t\t  <p><span>Title:<\/span>The Viral Video of &#8220;Aerofoot&#8221; Flying Sneakers is AI-Generated\n<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t  <strong>Fact Check By:&nbsp;<a href=\"mailto:info@factcrescendo.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Cielito Wang<\/a>&nbsp;<\/strong>\n\t\t\t\t\t  <p><strong>Result:<\/strong> False <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/body>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/html>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/api.whatsapp.com\/send?phone=94771514696&#038;text=Please%20type%20your%20Name%20and%20Language:%20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-2481\" src=\"https:\/\/srilanka.factcrescendo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Whats-app-sri-lanka.png\" alt=\"\"><\/a><\/figure>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A video circulating on social media shows futuristic footwear named Aerofoot that appears to allow a person to lift off the ground and &#8220;fly&#8221; using just the shoes.
