How The APL Concept Shoes Work
The APL concept 1 shoes work through a principle they call "load and launch".
Here is how the shoes are being designed:
Below the shoes, at the front, there is a device attached to it, and this device captures the force or power whenever an athlete starts to jump.
Notice that whenever you start your jump, you will raise your heel, thereby increasing and pushing more force to the front of your feet. That is where the device is located.. and the more power you exert into the flow, the "loading" phase becomes more compressed, thus, enabling it to generate an enormous amount of energy.
The fact that the compression allows the device to rebound back as you jump, it further increases your vertical jumping ability to as high as 3.5 inches for a normal basketball players... (according to what they say. In fact, there has been claims that it can add an extra 8 inches to professional athletes)
Because of the hype surrounding these shoes, Sports Illustrated's Chris Ballard has been assigned to test out these amazing shoes.
