Haute Alert: The Sneaker That Is Missing From Your Everyday Wardrobe

Athletic Propulsion Labs (aka APL) makes some top-notch sneakers. Whether you are a loyal brand follower or have never heard of it before today, APL specializes in lightweight, sleek sneakers that should be a mainstay on your shoe rack. While APL Sneakers have an abundance of styles to choose from, there’s one pair that I can’t stop raving about: the TechLoom Zipline. And here’s why.

The Overview

This is my go-to shoe for everyday wear. Technically, this shoe is considered the brand’s most advanced running shoe, yet I don’t wear them for running; I wear them for everything else. If I’m hitting the gym or going for a long walk with my dog, this is the pair that I pull on. When it comes to running, I merely am a loyalist to the iteration of running shoes I’ve been wearing for ten years and don’t like to change that out. So rest assured, these shoes can handle your runs, walks, workouts, and much, much more.

The Feel & Fit

This shoe is as comfortable as it gets. While I struggle with variations of tendonitis in my hips and feet, the TechLoom Zipline offers me ample cushioning and stability yet in a lightweight design. The barely-there feel coupled with the bouncy sole propels me forward with speed and support. 

The Look 

It is hard to find a supportive sneaker that is also sleek in design. Most feature a thick sole and clunky exterior to deliver the necessary fit. Yet APL presents an alternative. The ultra-sleek facade is a streamlined silhouette that looks contemporary and cool. Even better? The brand offers 43 colorways of the TechLoom Zipline to choose from. I repeat: 43. From monochrome neutrals to electric hues, you can find a pair that suits you.

The Sizing

While I could go on and on about how much I love these shoes, the one thing I will say is that they run a little small. So size up, especially if you’re in between sizes. That’s really the only drawback I have for you. Otherwise, please be my guest and see if APL’s TechLoom Zipline live up to my hype.
