Heading into basketball season, are you nervous that your hops need some help? Well, as long as you're not playing professionally, why not lace up a pair of Athletic Propulsion Labs Concept 1 Shoes ($300). Dreamed up by a pair of former USC basketball players and banned by the NBA, the Concept 1's feature a unique Load 'N Launch spring-based propulsion system in the forefoot that makes you jump up to 3.5-inches higher instantly, or more than enough boost to shoot overtop of the chumps at your weekly pickup game.
