The APL SUPERFUTURE Iron / Harbor Grey shoes are praised for their perfect fit, clean look, and great feel. Customers appreciate the comfort and support they provide, along with the gorgeous color. However, opinions on sizing are mixed, with some recommending going half a size up.

"I picked these up during the holiday since I needed a new pair of hightops. in the past ive really enjoy the lace up version. putting these slip on shoes on are huge pain and id honest rather just tie laces. not sure if am supposed to wear these with no socks because having socks on creates too much friction to get my foot in the narrow opening. all the other pairs of APLs ive owned were far better experiences this one."
"Great Product."
"I was looking for a high-top volleyball shoe but couldn't find one I liked so I decided to give these a try. Generally this is a good high quality shoe, it's lightweight and provides ankle support, I will keep it and use it though for some reason I'm not loving it, I didn't get a chance to wear it a lot yet and I'm hoping I will like it better as I get used to it (and maybe it will mold to my feet) but as of now it just doesn't feel right (a little too stiff and and not the most supportive for my arches)."
"Awesome bball shoes!"
"I bought these for my brother for his birthday and he loves them and called them the Back to the Future shoes. Incredibly cool, but they run small and tight! So order up at least a half size or a full size for more comfort if you get some!"
"2nd pair of APLs. First pair for great and have held up very well. Bought same size a couple years later and the shoe size is not the same as the previous years purchase even though they say they are both 14s."
"I take like 2 minutes just to get my feet inside, the foot space is good but the ankle doesn't feel right"
"Comfortable, supportive and I’m launching like a rabbit!"
"Probably the nicest feeling shoe I’ve ever worn as far as comfortability."
"I’ve only ever worn the usual suspects when it comes to basketball shoes Nike’s, Adidas, Under Armor, etc. I’ve never even considered switching from my KD 11s, that’s until I walked into an APL store. The brick and mortar store looks like something from the future! White LED lights, clean lines, and a time less aesthetic that screams quality and care. The day I bought my first pair of APL basketball shoes I was on my way to foot locker to get a new pair of KDs, a shoe that I’ve worn for years, a tried and true shoe that has served me well in during my basketball career. Before I could even make it to Footlocker I noticed APL’s sleek looking store and randomly took a peek inside. The kind sales representative promptly gave me the run down of the company’s history and what they specialize in. One thing led to another and I ended up trying on a pair of the “Concept” basketball shoe and I immediately fell in love! The shoe was light weight, comfortable, and most importantly the shoe felt like I would be protected from an ankle injury. I told the rep to bring a size 12 but to my surprise they were sold out both online and in store. This was disappointing because I think the design of that style of shoe is the best I have ever seen. Nevertheless, I was so impressed that I opted for the “superfuture” model instead. I really hope APL restocks the “concept” line in my size soon because I will be the first to buy them but I am throughly happy with my purchase and I would highly recommend any shoe that they offer. After around 2 months of wear I can confidently say that this is the best basketball shoe that I have ever worn. APL has won over a new customer in me for life. 10/10."
