" Five years ago, twin brothers Adam and Ryan Goldston launched their athletic shoe line APL\u2014short for Athletic Propulsion Labs\u2014and promptly were slapped with a ban from the NBA. The Goldstons had created a basketball sneaker that delivered so well on its promise to have you jump higher that the NBA nixed the sneaker for &amp;quot;providing an undue competitive advantage.&amp;quot; In essence, their shoe (including the patented technology they invented and embedded within) was too damn good. Not bad for a first try.  Since then the brothers have kept a tight rule over their work at APL and grown a respected cult following. Today, however, they loosen their grip ever so slightly with a three-pronged launch. As of today, their releasing their first ever running shoe (for both men and women), revamping their website to include e-commerce, and making their products available for the first time ever through a retail partner, Saks Fifth Avenue\u2014interestingly, the store&amp;#039;s sole (heh) athletic sneaker brand.  There are three styles being released, the Joyride, the Techloom, and the Windchill\u2014which all lay on varying points on the design scale from &amp;quot;minimalist-sleek&amp;quot; to &amp;quot;flashy-footwear.&amp;quot; What they all have, however, is a mind for true delivery on the athletic performance front. The brothers have used a propelium midsole that help maximize the movement and power of the shoe while keeping it lightweight. Whether you&amp;#039;re a runner or just a fan of all things sneaker-related, you should definitely check these out.   "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
