Basketball Shoes

Purchasing basketball shoes is always a tough decision! Mostly because there are so many different things you are looking for when picking basketball shoes out! Such as how heavy the shoe is, what style it is (low tops, mid tops, or high tops), how much they cost, and even the type of technology in the shoe! We are going to compare the newest Kobe’s, LeBron’s, and APL’s and see what shoe comes out on the top, as the best basketball shoe on the market.

Weight

First comparison is weight! As you may know basketball if a very quick game and you don’t want shoes that are going to hold you back! You want to be able to run, jump, and play defense and offence as fast and quick as possible.  You want shoes that are light on your feet so you can play to your full potential. Heavy shoes will make you less quick and if heavy enough they may even make you jump less high (which is never a positive). In first are the Kobe system 8’s that weigh in at 9.6 ounces. In the commercials for this shoe they compare the shoes to a cheetah so you know they must be lightweight and help you be as fast as possible. In second are the APL concept 2’s.They weigh 15 ounces witch is not to much but still more then the Kobe’s. And last in weight are the lebrons10’s weighing in at a whopping 17 ounces! A lot of people choose to wear other shoes just because the LeBron’s are to ‘heavy’! All in all round one to the Kobe system 8’s for being the lightest shoes of the three!

Style

Almost all people who play basketball competitively wear high top’s the reason is approximately 15 percent of basketball-related ankle injuries are broken ankles.Some may say wear ankle braces to prevent an injury but if you wear high top’s it also helps you prevent an ankle injury. That’s why picking the kind of shoes you wear is so important. Most basketball players prefer high tops while playing because they by far give the most ankle support. The Kobe 8’s are low tops so the chances of an ankle injury are increased if you wear them. If you choose to wear any type of ankle support they are fine. Because they are low tops the advantage goes to the other two shoes. The APL’s and LeBron’s 10’s are both high top’s. The APL’s concept 2’s are lower then the LeBron’s however they are high tops so in this category the advantage go’s to not only the LeBron 10,s but also APL concept 2’s.

Cost

As we know money plays a big role; and basketball shoes aren’t cheep! The Nike Kobe 8’s are the least expensive of the there a pain will cost you 140$.The APL concept 2’s cost175$(which is about average for basketball shoes).And the most expensive of the three are the lebron10’s costing up to 290$.

Technology

It may sound crazy but the APL’s concept 2’s have been scientifically proven that by simply putting the shoes on you will jump higher. For some the shoes have made them jump three and a half inches higher. So much has gone into making the shoes! Two brothers who attended USC put the concept of a diving board into the shoe. Plus it helps that their father was the creator of the reebok pumps So as you jump they spring you up a couple more inches into the air. Commissioner David Stern of the NBA has banned the APl concept 2’s due to the fact that they make you jump higher. Commissioner Stern said” We do not want any player having a unfair advantage on the court” and for those reasons the APL concept

2’s take first in technology.

In second are the LeBron 10’s.The reason the LeBron’s are so expensive is because they are nike+.Nike made technology that works with your iphone or ipod and it measures how high you jump and also tells you your vertical.(that’s why they cost so much money)

In third are the Kobe 8’s although they don’t help you physically or measure your performance they are light. The only reason they fall short in this category is simply because they are just shoes with no technology built into them!

The winner is……

The best basketball shoe out goes to…. The APL concept 2’s!Over all the shoes never came last in any category. They are a good price for a shoe that has so much in it! They are high top so they have support. They do not weigh to much and the biggest reason is they actually make you jump higher! They are a great shoe and you can buy their website.Apl concept 3's comeout may 2013 buy them before they sell out!!!!!!!
