Is it for Real?
Athletic Propulsion Labs is a company that has recently come into existence making very bold claims. They have a shoe promising to increase your vertical by a significant and noticeable amount. They claim the average user will experience and increase of about 3-4 inches just by putting them on. This is a huge statement, and if it is legitimate these shoes will absolutely turn the shoe industry upside down, with implications in major sporting leagues instantly. So are they legit?
The answer is:
Potentially, but probably not to the point they are promising. There are a few reasons why. First of all, there is 0 video evidence anywhere showing that these shoes work. You would think that there would be some sort of demo video to stir up hype. Secondly, there is no way the shoe could make everyone's vertical increase. Anatomical differences and jumping styles will surely limit the effects of it. The shoe will probably work better for bi-lateral jumpers than single leg jumpers, but we still do not know. Fortunately, the shoe is made by some seemingly trustworthy individuals, but the truth on the validity of this shoe is still up in the air.
