"http://best-vertical-jump-program-today.blogspot.com/2012/01/best-vertical-jump-program-3-of-best.html The AP and UPI posted news articles October 20th, 2010 that the National Basketball Association has banned its players from wearing the new Concept 1 shoe by APL. This is the case of """"bad news"""" being good. The company can barely keep the shoes in stock. In September, Sports Illustrated tested the shoe and found that it works... sort of... some of the time. It seems the patent pending """"Load 'N Launch"""" spring based technology developed by Athletic Propulsion Labs in the forefront of the shoe only works when jumping from a two feet planted position. It carries a $300 price tag, putting it out of reach of most recreational, and even some serious players. The company claims it can add an instant 3 inches or so to the vertical leap of anyone trying on a pair. That is a lofty claim, no pun intended. This is opposed to the 6, 10 or even 14 inch increases reported by ballers using a training program aimed at increasing explosiveness. However, we live in a lazy """"instant gratitude"""" type technology and the company is ecstatic with the NBA's banned status. When you couple that with the fact that some of the Sports Illustrated test subjects testing the 'jump higher shoe' complained of aching feet and discomfort, you have to question the veracity of the claims. Okay, sure, the shoe has been tested and it does work for some in a certain situation. But $300 is a load of money for everyone except the people who are not allowed to wear them, NBA players! They have also only been out a couple of months, so we do not have a lot of data to go on. 'Increase your vertical' training programs, on the other hand, have been around for decades and increase your vertical through specific exercises aimed at the muscles and tissue that let you jump. These systems were developed by trainers who were looking for a way to increase their own ups, not by a company looking to sell shoes. One of the best-selling Jump Manual programs around was developed by Jacob W. Hiller, a professional trainer that wanted to see if he could target certain muscles and tissue in his body to increase his explosiveness. His success in personal vertical gain led to the release of the Jump Manual system that has helped over 20,000 athletes worldwide increase their vertical through exercise and hard work, not with some 'Jump Higher' shoe. http://howtojumphigher.us/ "
