We recently reviewed the APL Concept 1 Sneaker, and the results were very positive. Unfortunately, the NBA feels that these positive results create an unfair advantage for those who where the shoes. Therefore, the NBA has decided to ban the shoe. Read below for more information.
Athletic Propulsion Labs (APL) was notified by a senior NBA official who stated, “League rules regulate the footwear that players may wear during an NBA game. Under league rules, players may not wear any shoe during a game ‘that creates an undue competitive advantage (e.g., to increase a player’s vertical leap).’ In light of that rule…players will not be permitted to wear the APL shoes during NBA games.”
