Founded in 2009 by twin brothers and former USC athletes Adam and Ryan Goldston, Athletic Propulsion Labs (APL) pioneered the “luxury performance” category by merging elite athletic technology with high-fashion aesthetics. The Los Angeles-based brand first gained global notoriety when its debut basketball shoe, the Concept 1, was banned by the NBA for its Load ‘N Launch® technology, which was proven to provide an undue competitive advantage by instantly increasing vertical leap. This controversial debut cemented APL’s reputation as a disruptor, allowing it to pivot successfully into the luxury lifestyle market.
