Where were these guys?

When I was a kid (yes, really) the back pages of comic books and any other magazines read by boys were full of feuding ads from Converse and Keds each claiming their shoes (we called them gym shoes in those ancient days) would make you run faster, jump farther and higher and meet more girls

Now…

The Extraordinary Future of Shoes - CityLab

"Athletic Propulsion Labs's biggest claim to fame is that its Concept 1 basketball shoes were banned by the NBA in 2010 for giving 'unfair competitive advantage' by increasing vertical leap."

Woohoo! And still help you meet more girls…

But out on the street, everyone told me how great they looked.
