So are you going to line the players up like a little kids' soccer match and check all their shoes? I honestly don't think I ever look at a players' shoes unless they are some hideous color that grabs my attention. The black with the lime green might attract my eye, but the white colored APL shoes I would never even notice.

What procedure did the State give you guys to check the shoes?

We will just look during warmups, the site that I posted has some great pictures, the best thing to look for is the name APL on the shoe, that site that I posted will come up as an error, but if you scroll to the bottom of the page you will still see the shoe. See if this works better:

They didn't, and I'm not sure I'd notice. We haven't been instructed to go fishing, if that answers your question.

Thanks, Walt
I'll stick with Flubber®. Nobody even looks twice at my Keds® when I throw down one of my rim-rockin', white chocolate thunder, Phi Slamma Jamma dunks from the 3 point line
Then I woke up...

I just looked at the shoe's website and as a parent I love my sons very much and always bought them first class sports equipment BUT what idiot would buy a pair of athletic shoes for his child and pay $300 for them.

It's banned in VA. Check in the weekly news updates on the VHSL website.

iirc, NFHS has banned it. So, it's banned unless the state chooses to allow it.
