The Moonwalk's influence also extended to the realm of technology. Jackson's desire to push the boundaries of what was possible in dance led to the development of new technologies. For instance, the "lean" in the "Smooth Criminal" video, which seemed to defy the laws of physics, was made possible by specially designed shoes that Jackson patented. This innovation is a testament to how the Moonwalk and Jackson's dance philosophy spurred technological advancements.
