for the last few months I been thinking about getting these, but I have so many pairs of Hyperize kinda hard to justify to the wifey I now need a $300+ dollar pair of basketball shoes.
I know it sounds goofy but these are supposed to make you jump an extra inch or 2, there is something in the insole. Check the link website for full description. Only weighs 15 ounces!
