Michael Jackson may have popularized the move but it wasn't invented for him. This article is rubbish. Its the boots.

I was under the impression he designed and patented the shoes specifically for the video?

He learned it from Marcel Marceau.

Marcel Marceau may have popularized the moonwalk (moving backwards while appearing to walk forwards) but not the leaning move, which Jackson invented. Jackson is listed on the patent for the shoes necessary to pull off the lean.
