The NBA is prohibiting players from wearing a new brand of shoes that claims to increase vertical leap.

The league said in a statement Tuesday that "under league rules, players may not wear any shoe during a game that creates an undue competitive advantage."

The shoe, designed by Athletic Propulsion Labs' Concept 1, employs a spring-based system designed to increase lift.

The <Censored> is the difference.

Alright, well if some players use them, then the other can match it by using it too. Not really a big deal IMO.
I highly doubt this is going to give someone a "competitive advantage."

well shoes in general make your ability to jump better, so just make them play barefoot.

These guys probably paid the NBA a <Censored> ton of money.. Good marketing plan. Who doesn't wanna see these shoes now?
