APL is committed to responsible manufacturing and uses recycled materials in select products.
The NBA banned the APL Concept 1 in 2010 because it was deemed to provide an unfair competitive advantage due to springs that enhanced vertical jump. It was the first sneaker ever banned by the league for performance reasons.
TechLoom is APL's proprietary woven upper technology that provides a seamless, breathable fit with athletic performance and aesthetic appeal.
APL is available at UK retailers including Harvey Nichols, Selfridges, and Net-A-Porter, as well as direct from their website with international shipping.
