    Ninjas have been chasing me for about a week now. I’m alive only because I’ve been lucky so far. Have you ever tried outrunning a ninja? Or jumping over people’s backyard fences while dodging shurikens? It’s not easy. I’m not gonna lie; having a pair of APL’s would help me stay alive. I’m one fast ninja/tall picket fence away from being sashimi. These kicks would help. The fact that they’re black is an added bonus, as it’d make me harder to track if the ninjas ambush me at night.

    I would love to own a pair of APL’s just to be able to at least jump a little bit more. I got in a car wreck when I was 17 and every since then I can’t jump for nothing. Before the wreck I was able to jump very high for my size (5’8). I played almost every single day and would actually be able to throw a dunk down on a good day. I still play pick-up games every now and then but I’ve developed my game to be mostly just a 3-point shooter now. But still to this day I love the game of basketball and would do anything to get my jumping ability back.

  • IDOT

    Please, Please, Please hook me up with a pair of Concours. Basketball is part of my life and its my getway from my life problems. I used to be able to throw down but I got injuried playing ball and the knee hasn’t been the same. I just want a taste of hanging off the rim again. That would be the closest thing toward heaven to me.

  • Sneakerhead22

    Winning the APL shoes would gratify my love for sneakers, since i can not afford 1… I just have to take my chances here… From you guys.. Im a 5’6″ ( 9 US) guy who dreams a lot of being able to dunk.. I mean literally dream.. Hoping to have these shoes.. Id be one of the many to testify that it really improves vertical leap.. In no seconds to waste.. Id be posting a thank you message to Slam and APL through youtube.. More power to you guys.. God bless.

  • Ryan

    The question isn’t how will these kicks change my game but how will my playing in them change the way they’re perceived and the answer is positively. People will be shook when they see an old dude making cats half his age look like fools and then they’ll ask me what kinda shoes I’m wearing and I’ll say…

  • Zoom

    Dang lots of comments already ): Even though I doubt they will read mine a pair of those shoes would help me get closer to that rim! Haha also my fav word is in it… FREE!

  • Ansonpanson

    I would dunk all over the opposition

  • Cody

    If i got a pair of the APL sneaks it would improve my game a ton. It would help me get my boards and buckets, and help my team bring home the W.But the biggest part would be that i could dunk on my friends down at the Y… SNAPP SNAPP FLASH……POSTERIZE

  • Michael

    Im 5’9 and can almost grab the rim, with these shoes, ill be dunking for sure.

  • Naefy

    Average 3 blocks a game instead of 1 in the under 21 league (I’m 14 and 5’7)

  • http://www.ballislife.com/profiles/blogs/kobetop10moments nbk

    Ive been hoopin 20 years, have never dunked, but can touch the rim. You tell me how it will improve my game.

  • Valdo

    It´s simple, I want get high :)

  • http://www.csmhusi.ro Mihai

    I own a basketball club and all the guys over here are skeptikal about these shoes , so if you send one pair and they really work it would be like a slap in the face and also it could turn them into potential buyers (because this is what you want to do with this campaign – reach out to more people so more can buy it). Regarding the aspect of the game , i am a two foot jumper , so from what i have seen on other clips the shoes will help me more at rebounding , up and under shots , things that i usually do as a post player.
    Anyway , thank youa and good luck with your campaign

  • Henry Roberts

    APL Shoes would change the way I ball entirely. That extra leaps got to help in every aspect of hoops. Rebounding, Jumo Shot Dunking, APL would change me from Shaq To Nate Rob. Pleaassee

  • Nathan

    ive been constantly dunked on for years, and you know what? im sick of it. Just once id like to be able to dunk on somebody else. hell if i could even jump a bit higher and get a few more rebounds id be happy. Having that pair of apl’s would give my game the confidence i want.

  • Sadler

    World Domination.

  • XxJakexX

    APL shoes could change my game in many ways. I would be able to rebound over my competition, get the first step on my defender, score any way I wanted to and break ankles in the process. I would be the best on the court. Thats how APL shoes would change my game.

  • Redon

    i can finally get the rebound over my friends and i can cet some ill blocks!

  • http://slamonline.com kiwi_intheUK

    I would get mad ladies because of my increased swagger care of my increased vertical – right?

  • Sky Scrap

    Really; these shoes Need Me! I Fly and Us Together makes Music in the Air; Nuff Said!

  • logan

    hey SLAM thanks for such an awesome opportunity :D How would winning a pair of APL’s change my game? Winning these Concours would effect my skill level by so much. I am almost 13 and I am really short. I am only 4″8 and while I know I’ll grow eventually, I play in a league of 15 year old 6″5 monsters. I always wanted to have one thing to distiguish me from the other players other than my height and these shoes would be it. I already have a pretty good vertical but still can’t out jump all of those big guys. These shoes might be the final step for me to be able to contribute to my teams success. :D

  • Dave

    Might actually be able to jump again after ligament damage in my knee has held me back.

  • http://slamonline.com Brad Long

    I have a job that sometimes requires me to work over 100 hrs. a week sometimes and a 4 yr. old at home. That means there isn’t a lot of time to workout anymore and my hops have became the victim of my inability to do anything other than be in front of the computer or play with transformers all day. So on the rare occasion I actually get to hoop, I could use a little help with the lift off. It’s either this or get back in the lab and try to get this “Flubber” formula right.

  • cecil

    How would these shoes enhance my game? One word: Authority. Instead of finishing off the glass in the lane, I would hopefully get that extra lift to dunk in the lane, versus only getting dunks on the break.

  • T Ibikunle

    Winning a pair of APL Concours would help improve my game a lot. I am 5’7 and if I have a pair of APL Concours will help me attack the basket and get high up so defenders can’t block me

  • http://www.slamonline.com Wayno

    These shoes would allow me to travel the world in mere leaps and bounds instead of flying, therefore I would be able to play all over the world and play with the best international talents.

  • Domeschnik

    I wonder when these kicks come to Germany. APL would take my Jump to dirks’ eyelevel.
    Eurobasket 2011…go Germany!

  • Kiff

    I will no longer need to defer in the clutch

  • madterps

    I’d like to have the ability to dunk and improve my lateral quickness, so that would help my game tremendously.

  • Filip

    Hmmm, it’s really hard to describe. Just give them to me and You will probably have a chance to see it all over the internet with our own eyes!!!

  • P Greenwood III

    I need these kicks to produce the 1.21 gigawatts my game needs

  • P Greenwood III

    I need these kicks to produce the 1.21 gigawatts my game needs to take it back to the future

  • Vic P

    Winning a pair of APL Concours will easily boost my game. Im a 5’6″, quick point guard & an extra boost underneath my jump would add that extra elevation to create. Never tried any APL kicks before, but I trust they work….

  • CS21

    I was all state twice in High School and as a 5’10 white guy could put one down off the bounce here and there. I’m now 25 and coaching a local inner city high school team. One of the ways I teach is to play with them. I haven’t lost much of my quickness but I have lost an inch or so off my vertical. Off a high school coaching salary, I certainly couldn’t normally afford sneaks like this. Most of the guys don’t believe that I could dunk, being able to get those extra couple inches will get me the respect of everyone on the team and help a small guy fly.

  • Glenn L.

    I am about 6′ even and white, I can just barely touch the rim and with some help from these kicks maybe I can grab the rim with ease and at least fake the appearance that I would be able to throw down. Plus the colors look good on me.

  • Niko Vrionis

    I’m 28 & somehow after years of hard living & good times, I seem to have fallen off the dunk wagon… I still love the game of basketball & I try and hoop 3-4x’s a week. You can still find me at the park or gym here in H-town. Simply put I just want to go baseline rise up over a defender and dunkuverymuch 1 good time. That and I want my son and nefew to know I still got it…

  • nicky j

    i literally dream of dunking the ball in game, but as of right now am a few inches short…little help?

  • http://slamonline.com marquis s

    Man if I had these shoes I will probably be dunking like Michael Jordan,Lebron jamesx ,Vince Carter(when he was good)Dwight Howard,and Blake Griffin.Since my height is 6’4′ I can touch the rim but these shoes will give more air time to get me a highlight reel and a basketball scholarship to a university.That is why I like APL They are the best basketball shoe in the game( If they weren’t band by the NBA).

  • Omar

    I REALLY NEED THESE KICKS! ……… PLEASE

  • James (N.Z)

    It would give me that mental confidence knowing I have a couple more inches in me so instead of just going for a tap back I would try and throw it down on people. People would even get more nervous attacking me on defense knowing already I lead the league in steal and blocked shots by a guard and they would settle for jumpers all game long. Plus they shoes style would definitely make me stand out a the only pair in New Zealand. I want these shoes bad

  • HSingh

    well…..to be completely honest i hope it doesn’t change my game, you know, i am pretty fond of basketball.

    But on a serious note………i really don’t know, you would have to give me a pair to see what kind of miraculous change it brings to my “game”.

    Thanks

    APLs will enhance my skills. I’m already nice.

  • MrMoonMan

    Im 15 years old and a 5’11″ “post” from Edmonton (In Alberta, Canada). I’ve never been the most athletic player so as a result, I’ve never been able to earn the freedom and respect of my coaches to do all that I’m capable on the court. I believe I am a good shooter and dribbler and have actually played point on numerous occasions – not on my highschool team – despite never being the fastest or highest jumper. For as long as I’ve played, I have relied on my skill and basketball IQ, modeling my game after players like Paul Pierce and Joe
    Johnson who are keen on exploiting their mismatches and opponents weaknesses to strive rather than fill the highlight reels with dunks. If I were to get the APLs, I believe that it would allow me to add another dimension to my game. I dont believe they are the be all and end all of my game, but it would serve as building blocks to finally gaining that athletic edge and helping me become a better player.

  • Soondooboo

    APL = Asian Spud Webb

    :]

  • Kilo

    APls will make more confident on the floor! I feel like I can get into the lane, but can I finsh? Or am a gonna dish off? That will take my game to a new level.

  • Abulkarim

    Lets just say “beam me up Scotty” will be the new catch phrase

  • K- Fizzle

    Well, I’d love to have these because I am a 14 year old girl going into high school. I have made the Varsity squad for basketball and by my senior year I am hoping to go to a Division 1 college. If these actually improved my game I could definitely make a name for myself as a freshman girl. I’m trying to bring girls basketball back in my school and we have a good chance of going far this season, I’d love to have these kicks to improve my own game and have others notice also. Thanks!

  • ronak

    living in melbourne australia, i fiend for basketball and without much coverage of the game over here i try and live through constant internet updates and playing of the actual game itself. we dont get much variety of shoes down here and winning these APL’s wouldnt just result in me having an increased vertical(which as an indian 5’7″ point guard, is always appreciated) but would also result in me having some kicks that no one else down in australia would be wearing!

  • Luis

    Wow, where do I start? I have been doing so much research on this shoe and watched a few videos of them in action that I feel confident in there ability. Winning a pair of APL’s would change my game in many ways. For starters I would be able to rebound like a monster!, rebounding means more points, more points means MVP, and MVP means GLORY! haha. I would love a pair of these APL’s and I have my camera ready for my before and after shots to go on youtube to show the world that these kicks DO work. Do you want me to beg for them?……………Pwease, pwease, pretty pwease with a APL on top? :)

  • Karley

    I’m coming down to that point in my game where I feel I am no longer improving. Basketball is my passion. I have a career ahead of me in basketball( I’m hoping) and id love to just get an extra inch on my hop and a little quickness to my step. This is a real deal. I’ve been looking for that right shoe and I need exactly what this has. Believe me I have a bit of a game,,, not to toot my own horn but id love a pair and I’m really hoping I can get these. I am no Dunker so it won’t be to dunk but its different aspects of the game that I’m looking to improve, most importantly my rebounding. I hope I can get these but if not Id love to know where to buy a pair if possible
