The moonwalk and the Smooth Criminal Lean
You need the special shoes that MJ had made so he could do the lean in Smooth Criminal.
The moonwalk is not patented, the shoes that were made for the Smooth Criminal lean is the one that has a patent.
Michael Jackson was 29 years old when he released the song "Smooth Criminal" in 1988 as part of his "Bad" album. The song became one of his most popular hits and is known for its distinctive bass line and smooth vocals. Jackson's performance in the music video, featuring his iconic anti-gravity lean, further cemented his status as a pop music legend.
To do the Michael Jackson lean you must have special shoes that connect to the stage and ankle braces so you don't break your ankles while doing the lean. In moonwalker he used wires. The shoes necessary to do the famous "anti-gravity lean" are patented.
You cant do the lean!!!!! Michael Jackson could because he was just good like that!!! He patented a special device that goes with special shoes. The patent expired in October, 2005
Yes, Michael Jackson's anti-gravity lean, as seen in his performance of "Smooth Criminal," was achieved through a special shoe attachment and not genuine anti-gravity technology. The illusion was created by using a patented "lean shoes" design that allowed him to achieve the gravity-defying lean during live performances.
Sort of, he came up with the idea for the special shoe that allowed him to do the Smooth Criminal anti gravity lean without falling over.
Yes in the video a group of bungee like ropes were used so he could do the lean.
