Electromagnetic Soles
ItemAnother entry in Mei Hatsume's Sports Festival showcase, these oversized boots make their wearer harder to pin down. Facing a Quirk built entirely on speed, she answered with footwear that dodges for her.
Overview
The Electromagnetic Soles are equipment that Mei Hatsume, a student in U.A.'s Department of Support, developed and built on her own. She wore them during the U.A. Sports Festival in her bout against Tenya Ida. The item appears in chapter 35 of the manga and episode 21 of the anime.
Function
They take the form of large mechanical boots, each with a circular apparatus ringing the ankle. True to the name, electromagnetic induction is applied at both feet, which sharpens the wearer's mobility enough to let them break away on the spot when something comes at them.
