Due to heavy consumer demand, limited quantities of the black and white original color ways will be back in stock for first time since early 2011 and available beginning the week of November 28th. The holiday special also includes the recently introduced Athletic Propulsion Labs Concours basketball shoe line, inspired by the world-famous Concours d'Elegance auto show, is available in black and cool grey, and features exotic quilted suede uppers with accents of the finest Napa leather reminiscent of the interiors of some of the world's great luxury vehicles.

About Athletic Propulsion Labs®:

Athletic Propulsion Labs was founded in Los Angeles, California by twin brothers Adam and Ryan Goldston, two former University of Southern California basketball players. The company is dedicated to the creation of world-class, breakthrough technology that significantly enhances the performance of athletes in a variety of sports. The inaugural product from Athletic Propulsion Labs®, the patented APL® Concept 1 basketball shoe and the recently introduced Concours, feature the revolutionary Load 'N Launch™ Technology. The patent-pending Load 'N Launch™ device is implanted in a cavity in the forefoot of the shoe and serves as a 'launch pad' by taking the energy exerted by the player and increasing lift with the aid of an intricate, spring-based propulsion system. In biomechanical testing at a leading west coast university laboratory, the Athletic Propulsion Labs® Concept 1 shoes delivered increases in vertical leap of up to 3.5 inches when compared against a leading competitive brand's most expensive basketball shoe. The APL® Concept 1 and Concours shoes are sold on the company's website at http://www.AthleticPropulsionLabs.com  normally at $195.00 per pair, and are now priced at $150 for the holidays.

APL's Concept 1 basketball shoes were introduced on March 24, 2010. The NBA ban of the APL® Concept 1 shoes occurred on October 19, 2010 and marked the first time in the 64-year history of the NBA that a shoe was banned because it provided an "undue competitive advantage."
