NBA bans shoes that give players flight
NEW YORK, USA (AP) — The NBA is prohibiting its players from wearing a new line of sneakers that claims to increase vertical leap.
The NBA said in a statement yesterday that “under league rules, players may not wear any shoe during a game that creates an undue competitive advantage”.
Athletic Propulsion Labs’ Concept 1 shoe employs a spring-based system designed to increase lift.
The Los Angeles-based company was founded by twins Adam and Ryan Goldston, both former USC basketball players.
