If we talk about bases, we have to talk about him, the great Stephen Curry, the fact that Kevin Durant is in the Warriors has turned a few spots off, but if we talk about his basketball shoes, this year we have received the best the date. The Curry 4 are, without a doubt the lightest model of the market, its best quality.

For their manufacture, they have chosen to use a very light cushioning, that is, we will be very in contact with the ground. This apart from reducing weight, improves stability, because we will be very in connection with the field. On the other hand, even though they look like the high cane, the mesh of the ankle is very flexible, and they have used the Knit fabric to give it total freedom of movement.

After a summer marked by the supposed 'motorbike' of Cancellara, the NBA has announced the prohibition of a pair of shoes designed to improve the vertical jump of the players. These sports, under the name of Concept 1's, did something as unusual as fulfilling what they promised.

Armed with a technology called 'Load' n 'Launch' ('Load and Take Off'), they have a small spring on the front of the sole that works like a trampoline: the more force applied to it, the greater momentum player. In total, about 10 centimeters of vertical jump, a very estimable help when playing basketball is about.

Such is its effect that the NBA has decided to eliminate them from their courts. In this way, the North American league turned the Concept 1's into the first shoes of history that are forbidden for violating the regulation referring to the "unfair competitive advantage."

"The league regulates the footwear that their players can wear during an NBA game, and according to the rules of the league, players will not be able to wear any shoe that creates an undue competitive advantage (for example, increasing the vertical jump)." Under this announcement was announced the veto of some shoes that, paradoxically, have found there their best form of advertising.

So much so that the official website of the company, Athletic Propulsion Labs, is chaired by shoes and crossed out by a red stamp that reads: "Prohibited by the NBA." "The products that appear on this website are designed to improve sports performance, and the NBA has banned APL shoes for the 2010-11 season." Quite a blessing, although the price of $ 300 per pair can serve as a counterweight.

The creators of the invention are two young twin brothers, Ryan and Adam Goldston. Both became part of the basketball team at the University of Southern California (where OJ Mayo was formed, among others), but more important is their kinship: they are children of Mark Goldston, a man with much to say in the world of footwear.
