The moonwalk was at best an exploit as it was a well known move in the popping scene at that point. MJ just took it into the mainstream.
The shoes though appear to be a fresh concept.
- Toxygene 17y agoThese shoes have nothing to do with the moonwalk.
- AlisdairO 17y agoForgive me if I'm wrong, but I believe he was also known for perfecting the move, wasn't he?
- Quarrelsome 17y agoI would doubt this. Popping isn't my speciality (i'm more a breaking geek). There were probably people more dedicated to specifically that dance style that would have outshone him at the time. Dance that is exposed in the mainstream is a very thin slice of what is actually out there. Nor is it usually the "best". I will confess that his moonwalk is pretty damn good though.
- copenja 17y agoI have watched a ridiculous amount of popping in my life. I've been to several of the premier popping events and I have also been to many underground jams. I also have watched a ton of video. And while I will say that there are a large number of people that dance "better" and certainly more technical than MJ... I have never seen anyone TOUCH his moonwalk. As far as I am concerned he was the greatest there ever was at that move by far.
