    Well not very original but over here i am literally one to two inches off dunking so having these shoes which claim to increase your vertical by 1-2 inches would be amazing.

    pretty sure everybody has said this though cheers for the opportunity

  • Rick Nowland

  • Daan

    People could/would say: “Damn, it’s gotta be the shoes.”
    And be exactly on point.

    Amazing
    Pure
    Lift

    Winning a pair of APL kicks would really help me over the hump. Currently I’m trying to make the selection of my local team in the netherlands and I want it real bad. I’m 5 foot 9 and I can barely dunk. I’ve tried all sorts of jump programs and I’m really looking for something to give me that extra boost so I can finish hard at the rim. I am primarily a shooter so the D usually sticks to me after hitting a couple of shots, it would really help if I had a couple of extra inches on my vertical so I could attack the rim a little more.

  • Justalittlemore

    With these I could throw it down on my co-workers; particularly a 6’3 thorn in my side with close to zero hops but a big mouth. Oh ladies love dunks.

  • Andy

    Not only would I be able to dunk, but i’ll have to be chasing the ladies away in these fly kicks!

  • PR

    I wanna make some suckas look like Shawn Bradley out there on court.

  • joe

    I’m not sure if I can clear a phone book, so these will definitely help…also, I can shoot, but I’m slow so I can get around people without throwing the inevitable elbow…so if I have em, other people end up safer too!

    I will jump like MJ Shoot like Kobe get a Reb like Sir Charles Blk like Alonzo Steal like Gp pass the rock like Rondo. Never been dunked or got dunked on haha I need need I’m pretty sure these shoe gonna make errone fly lol thanks SLAM

  • Mike F.

    It would make be both a better basketball player and a better jumper. Winning these shoes would be one of the best things to happen to me.

  • http://www.facebook.com German

    I want this pair of shoes so I can increase my vertical and take over the competition with these great shoes.

  • Greg

    I’m a Blake Griffin stuck in a JJ Barea, tho I love my floaters and high pick and roles (and dating a former Miss Universe). Nothing would make me reach nirvana than to give you guys a slamadamonth! Give me my Space Jam moment!

  • tvon

    Free kicks and free hops….sounds too good to be true!

  • Andre

    Winning APL shoes would be great to add to my vertical game and I’ll be able to dunk because I’m very close to doing so.

  • Steve

    Basketball and life…it’s all the same to me.
    Born in 59. Grew up with the jones from West,Pistol,
    Black Jesus,Tiny,Iceman the Doctor ,magic,Bird,zeke,MJ
    To the players of today. At 52 still have some hops just
    Not enough.Last time I dunked was 10 years ago at 42
    Belive your kicks could get this 5’11″ up in the
    Air again.
    Happy trails peace.

  • Nick

    Those kicks are sick!
    My old sneakers are actually pretty worn out; I have the D-Rose Adizero 1.0, but they have holes in them, and I’ve had to switch the laces a couple of times. These kicks would definitely add more power, speed and explosiveness to my game, which is just what I need, since I play Small Forward / Power Forward.

    But you know, It’s a sneaker thing. Y’all might not understand.

  • Jvaz818

    Winning a pair of these sneaks would help me put my nipples on the rim like Marques Johnson, t-bag opponents like the cyclops Blake Griffin, and take dudes baseline with a spin and finish strong like MJ on starks, oakley and ewing!

  • Juan s

    If i won these i would win more games, simple as that , its all about wininng at
    The end of the day

  • Dre

    Really? all you “true ballers” want the quick fix? you aint a real baller if you don’t put in the hard work. But hey fck it if I win a pair I don’t care!!! hahaha

  • Chris Marsch

    Ahhh, the possibilities if I won the pair of APL’s….. I would use the extra pep-in-my-step in all sorts of intangeable ways. Diving over sidelines for loose balls, using the extra few inches to swipe away a layup attempt or hell, maybe even win a few more jump balls! Not to mention they do turn heads.

    p.s Imagine if Elho had a pair back in the day against the Bulls, maybe we wouldn’t have to mimick the fist pumping MJ when we win a game… But we wouldn’t want that!!!

  • Chan Zhen Hui

    I’m asian and I’ve never touched the rim my whole life!!!
    I’m working out so hard everyday just to gain that extra inches so i need the APL’s bad man.

  • Tim Lee

    These things will give me serious bragging rights. I’ll be lookin’ fly whether they’re lookin’ at my shoes, or… My hops.

  • Armzilla40

    Getting my hands on a pair of these would elevate my game without having to put a code in the “tonight’s match up” screen of NBA JAM.

  • Donnie Cole

    If these shoes are BANNED in the NBA. They have got to be an advantage to anyone. Need I say more?

  • Komotion

    I am 5’8″ and white, winning these shoes would make me play a little closer to dudes taller than me!

  • Dominic

    Those shoes are sick. How bout tossing me some

  • harbrow

    I can only touch the rim now but with these i would be able to dunk PLEASE

  • Nick

    Winning these shoes is the only way I’ll look respectable wearing my Stephon Marbury jersey.

  • http://twitter.com/jefftagle Jeff

    i’m strictly a jump shooter due to my height. with these, i’ll now be able to fly and it’ll definitely surprise my opponents

  • SMills

    So next time I wake up dreaming I was V.C in the dunk contest I could lace up these kicks and make it a reality!

  • trotsky182

    If I had a pair of APLs then I would be able to finally beat all those 13 year old kids in the park that show me up for being the unfit lazy student I am.

    That would teach those damn kids a lesson in whos boss, with performance enhancing trainers!

  • troy boy

    I DONT THINK THESE KICKS WOULD CHANGE MY GAME…BUT THEY’LL DEFINITELY INCREASE MY VERTICAL & REBOUNDING IF THEY DO ANYTHING LIKE THEY SAY THEY DO..MAKE ME A BELIEVER..

  • Erik

    I’ve just turned 25 and am lacing up my sneakers to play competitive ball for the first time in 7 years. I have been pursued several times to play college or university ball but none of those worked out until now. I have been known as a real leaper but, though I have stayed in shape and am still lean and strong, I’ve been mostly running medium distances and staying in the weight room; getting that explosiveness back and that confidence in finishing over the rim is taking a little adjusting. It would be a huge blessing to get a little extra spring in there. I often watch TFB youtube videos and have noticed the APLs but, since I am a student and moved out of my parents’ house at 15, I can’t afford to shell out for them: if I could, I would. Thanks guys, I hope this will strike a chord with you.

  • 704

    It wouldnt change my game at all.. i havent balled in 4 yrs.. but i’d rock em so when punks jump up to get beat down, i can out jump em LOL.. the kicks look dope tho.

  • Q

    I need these shoes like Lebron needs a ring, Like Bosh needs a tissue, like the Tennessee Titans need Chris Johnson, like Barkley needs a golf coach, like the fans need an NBA season. I used to be able to expload and dunk on people at will. Nowadays i am just a layup king. At 27 I think these shoes would get me back where i need to be(above the rim). Meet you at the Rim!

  • Phillip

    I dont even the best comment because my vertical is so low they will
    send me them

  • Tom

    You’ve seen black people dunking, you’ve seen white people dunking.
    wouldn’t it be great to see a CHINESE guy dunk?

  • Matt

    How would they change my game? Well I’d be playing my game and looking mighty fine doing it

  • Max

    I’m not going to lie like many others clearly have done and I’m not going to say i’ll go straight to the point and then write a novel. Simply I can almost dunk (jump to 10’4) and with the shoes I could get there.
    Thanks

    Winning a pair of ATL’s would change my game by allowing me the peace of mind when I’m on the court to not have to worry about suffering any injury from the pair of beaten down Starburys that I’ve been sporting for years. I love the game and I love to play and a pair of free kicks would be awesome.

  • Dale

    I am a 5″7 guard who weights approximatly 175 pounds. i can barley touch back board but i have managed to make my college basketball team, mind you I see approximatly 1 minute per game if averaged out. I know where my spot on the floor is (when i get to touch it) and that is a foot off the three point line to get a shot off. These shouse could change that for me. I have tried things like air alert and just straight up working out and working hard… but i have seen little to no gaines in my verticle please help me in my mission to score a basket inside the three point line…even if it is in practice.

  • http://twitter.com/riffraffxtc Zac Garcia

    it would change the nba because thats where i’d be headed… in 3 years..

  • Corey

    Winning a pair of ATL’s would make it possible for me to have hops like Vinsanity back in the day with the Raptors!

  • Jacko

    If I won a pair of concours I would be able to dominate the local rec league I play in. That may not mean much to some people, but since I’m no longer in high school my hoops glory days have passed me by. I haven’t lost anything off my jumper and these shoes would help me get back my explosiveness and blow by all the former high school stars

  • http://tempdog1 stephen

    I need APLs so I can dunk with different coloured laces every week. The shoes soul will give me A Proper Launchpad to mesmerize everyone with my Team Flight Brother type hops! (Im white, 5’10 and can dunk already but I want to go higher)

  • bks_sizzle

    Uhhh! This Kicks are fresh!! Hope win! Really works?? Gonna try it if I win! Peace

  • tonyknorr

    well there are few ways that owning a pair of apl’s would transform not just my game but my life in general. firstly, it would allow me to finally get a pair because the last time I looked to ordering them the company told me that they did not ship to canada yet. Secondly, it would allow me to bang on cats during games, I can already dunk during warm ups and after games (although not every attempt goes down) but I would LOVE to be able really smash on dudes during games (trust me these would make it happen I already have the style of play that allows me ample opportunities to do so i just need the extra few inches of vert to make me confident in doing so). lastly, because I coach at a local highschool and I have a 15 year old phenom that is starting to come very close to beating me in our dunk competitions but a couple of extra inches would help me complete the alleyoop windmill and 360 Im so close on, which would in turn keep him humble for a little while longer.

  • Omar

    Winning a pair of APLs would help my game and take it to the next level. I need the these to increase my vertical leap. Not only that Id be able to promote these to my whole community after I show them off and how amazing I play in them. Plus these are the flyest shoes I have ever set my eyes on.

  • Heals

    They’d make my style even fresher when heads thought it couldn’t be done (size 12.5)…

  • Patrick G.

    having these shows will surely make an impact on my game. i own a pair. i wouldn’t mine owning another one. It helps me have a quick 2nd jump. increases my speed and vertical. what’s better than hearing from personal experience
