The NBA has banned players from wearing the new Athletic Propulsion Lab's $300 Concept 1 basketball shoe. The shoe, designed by twins Adam and Ryan Goldston, former USC basketball walk-on players, contains a spring based system that is meant to increase a player's vertical lift.
The NBA rules state that a player may not wear a shoe that creates an undue competitive advantage. But is this really an "undue competitive advantage?" Can't all players choose to wear the shoe? Shoes are not like steroids, they are simply equipment for the game that is available for all.
What do you think - should the shoe be banned?
