The Athletic Propulsion Labs “Concept 1″ shoe which we originally previewed here is now available for pre-order exclusively at http://APLbasketball.com. Concept 1 is the first performance basketball shoe designed to instantly increase a player’s vertical leap through a patent-pending device called Load ‘N Launch embedded in the forefoot of the shoe. Production will be limited, so APL suggests pre-ordering your pair early. Look for the complete Athletic Propulsion Labs backstory coming tomorrow exclusively to Counter Kicks.

Shoes look sick. Looking forward to the story
look superlightweight.
New pics look great. Love to read more about how the tech works. Heard some dudes got up to 3 1/2 inches extra which is alot
Dope colorways. I might actually cop. Would be my biggest sneaker purchase ever ,wanna hear more on the shoes first
I wanna see some reviews of this stuff in action. It could be amazing if it really works but I’m still wondering how much ups i could get from it. Will there be more colors 2?
very intrigued by how the device works. i can see the outline of the box in the forefoot and the five circular rings has me wondering if that’s a design element or part of the technology.
Colorways are nice! Pretty fresh for a new brand. Bet Nike is lookin at this wondering how to react. They probably got one of their testers to buy a pair already loll
Will these be legal for use in the League??
about time there was some new ball companies steppin up with new designs. maybe if it works we see more performance coming back to shoes instead of the hypebeast styled junk
looked through the entire APL site this morning. quite interesting to say the least.
Interesting! Am waiting for more reviews!
Colors are great!
I can’t believe they’ve released these w/o some sort of proof…blah blah blah scientists..lab..blah. Consumers need proof..video proof…I’m surprised a video showing a guy jumping in regular shoes and then in APLs was not released…how hard is that to do? Well real hard if 3.5 was only one person and a significant amount of wearers got less than 3 or 2 inches. hmmmm?
Looks dope, design is clean, sexy.
But no info, factual data / evidence backing claims, much more impressive for both parties to see.
$300, pretty pricy for some marketing jargon… hope the materials are top notch!!!!
