banned by the nba

A pair of basketball shoes has been BANNED by the National Basketball Association, the Athletic Propulsion Labs Concept 1 Shoes. Apparently just putting them on your feet makes you jump higher... up to 3.5 inches higher. Unfortunately for my sorry vertical leap, I'm pretty sure I still won't be dunking even with this shoe's help.

And at a price point of $300, I don't think I play enough street ball to make the purchase worthwhile. Although these shoes do make me want to purchase a pair of moon shoes, like from back in the day.
