Why Athletic Propulsion Labs earned a B-
About Athletic Propulsion Labs
Athletic Propulsion Labs is the shoe brand behind that story you might've heard — a basketball sneaker so effective at boosting vertical jump that the NBA actually banned it. That reputation for engineering performance into the sole rather than just the branding still runs through everything they make, from basketball shoes to running and lifestyle sneakers.
They sit in a premium lane, priced closer to boutique performance brands than mass-market athletic wear, and tend to appeal to shoppers who care about the tech in a midsole as much as how a shoe looks. The propulsion technology in the sole is a genuine differentiator, not just marketing language. Sizing runs a bit narrow according to most reviewers, so it's worth checking their size guide before ordering rather than assuming your usual size.
What they sell
- Basketball performance shoes, including the Concept and Zipline lines
- Running shoes built with propulsion-technology soles
- Lifestyle and casual sneakers
- Apparel and accessories
