==Description==
−
'''ProLaps''' is a sportswear and sport equipment manufacturer which appears in [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]], [[Grand Theft Auto IV]] and [[Grand Theft Auto V]].
  
  +
In ''Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas'', there are two ProLaps stores in the [[State of San Andreas (3D Universe)|state of San Andreas]] that are accessible to [[Carl Johnson|CJ]], where he can purchase various sporting outfits and accessories. The interior of the store features a wooden floor, several shoe boxes and clothing on display (such as clothing worn by pedestrians and purchasable clothing). The [[Radio Stations in GTA San Andreas|radio station]] playing inside is [[CSR 103.9]]. Pedestrians thought the game also wear ProLaps clothing. Particular [[Ballas (3D Universe)|Ballas]] and [[Varrios Los Aztecas (3D Universe)|Aztecas]] models wear purple and black (respectively) jackets bearing the ProLaps "arrow" on the back. [[Da Nang Boys]] member wears a black shirt with the ProLaps logo imprinted on the back as well.

== Description ==
  
−
'''ProLaps''' stores in San Andreas are accessible to the player, however they're inaccessible in GTA IV. It is based on the real-life clothing brand [[wp:Reebok|Reebok]]. The company's slogan is "Train Hard". On many billboards in [[State of San Andreas|San Andreas]], an "S" is spray-painted in front of the 'Train' making the motto "Strain Hard".
  
   
  +
In ''[[Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories]]'', the [[Liberty City Bikers|Biker]] gang members seen in [[Avenging Angels]] side missions and in [[Maria Latore]]'s mission string wear ProLaps t-shirts, and a billboard for the store is found in [[Chinatown (GTA III)|Chinatown]]. However, no stores are found within the game.
−
The owner of the store in GTA San Andreas is implied to be a homosexual. This is apparent based on the comments he gives the player such as, "You're welcome anytime, honey buns" or "We have a wide range of thongs, too".
  
   
  +
ProLaps re-appears in ''[[Grand Theft Auto IV]]'', but its store cannot be accessed and [[Niko Bellic|Niko]] cannot purchase any ProLaps clothing. During ''[[The Ballad of Gay Tony]]'', ProLaps is shown with an expanded product line, including fighting gloves (as seen in "[[Momma's Boy]]"), [[Parachute|parachutes]], [[Golf Club|golf clubs]] and [[Caddy|golf carts]]. [[Luis Fernando Lopez|Luis]]' [[L.C. Cage Fighters|fight club]] tee is also implied to be produced by ProLaps.
−
In [[Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories]], the [[Liberty City Bikers|Biker]] gang members in a couple of missions are seen wearing t-shirts with the ProLaps logo on them and an advertising billboard for the store is in [[Chinatown, Portland]].
  
   
  +
In ''Grand Theft Auto V'', it is one of the brands featured in [[Sub Urban]] stores, and clothing and accessories are available for the player. In all HD Universe games, [[Pedestrians|pedestrians]], particularly joggers and sports players, are found wearing ProLaps clothing.
−
In [[Grand Theft Auto IV]], ProLaps still exists though is not interactive to the player as a store; the game's rendition of ProLaps is depicted during [[The Ballad of Gay Tony]] with an expanded product line, including fighting gloves (as seen in [[Momma's Boy]]), [[Parachute|parachutes]], and [[Caddy|golf carts]]. In [[The Lost and Damned]], ProLaps appears on a banner in the basement of the Angels of Death HQ in the Mission [[Action/Reaction]]. In all three IV titles several pedestrians can be seen wearing ski jackets manufactured by ProLaps.

==Influence==
  +
The company appears to be based on {{WP|Reebok}}, with influences of {{WP|Adidas}}, {{WP|Asics}} and {{WP|Nike, Inc.|Nike}}. A ProLaps livery available on the [[Cheburek]] suggests that the company may be primarily based on Adidas, as it features two stripes (a reference to the three stripes in Adidas' logo) while the ProLaps logo resembles that of Adidas. This is also a reference to the uniforms Adidas provided to the Soviet Olympic team in 1980, which featured only two stripes. It should be noted that Adidas acquired Reebok in 2005 and has operated it as a subsidiary since then. The Prolaps "Kicks" sports shoes purchasable by [[GTA Online Protagonist|''GTA Online'' characters]] also bear a strong resemblance to the {{WP|Nike Cortez}} shoe.

The range of outfits available at ProLaps stores is as expected for a sporting outlet. The vast majority of items on sale are sports-related, including specialized accessories and attires, and uniforms for specific sporting teams based in San Andreas. Most items on offer at ProLaps are priced in a moderate-to-high price range, to reflect their high-performance nature; notably, watches from ProLaps are significantly more expensive and are the most expensive items in the store.

ProLaps is also the only store that offers motorcycle helmets (three types in total), all of which are listed under the "Hats" section; like other hats, the helmets are designed to be worn at all times but offer no extra protection to the player. The {{WP|Pickelhaube}}-like "Helmut" in particular is compatible with the biker outfit set available at [[Victim]].

“
A global sportswear brand that pioneered the outsource-to-child-labor-and-sell-at-a-10000%-markup business model.
”
— Description at LCN.com.

ProLaps, written as Pro-Laps in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, is a sportswear and sport equipment manufacturer which appears in the 3D Universe and HD Universe. The player can buy stocks from them on the Lcn-exchange.com website in Grand Theft Auto V.

Description

In Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, there are two ProLaps stores in the state of San Andreas that are accessible to CJ, where he can purchase various sporting outfits and accessories. The interior of the store features a wooden floor, several shoe boxes and clothing on display (such as clothing worn by pedestrians and purchasable clothing). The radio station playing inside is CSR 103.9. Pedestrians thought the game also wear ProLaps clothing. Particular Ballas and Aztecas models wear purple and black (respectively) jackets bearing the ProLaps "arrow" on the back. Da Nang Boys member wears a black shirt with the ProLaps logo imprinted on the back as well.

In Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories, the Biker gang members seen in Avenging Angels side missions and in Maria Latore's mission string wear ProLaps t-shirts, and a billboard for the store is found in Chinatown. However, no stores are found within the game.

ProLaps re-appears in Grand Theft Auto IV, but its store cannot be accessed and Niko cannot purchase any ProLaps clothing. During The Ballad of Gay Tony, ProLaps is shown with an expanded product line, including fighting gloves (as seen in "Momma's Boy"), parachutes, golf clubs and golf carts. Luis' fight club tee is also implied to be produced by ProLaps.

In Grand Theft Auto V, it is one of the brands featured in Sub Urban stores, and clothing and accessories are available for the player. In all HD Universe games, pedestrians, particularly joggers and sports players, are found wearing ProLaps clothing.

Influence

The company appears to be based on Reebok, with influences of Adidas, Asics and Nike. A ProLaps livery available on the Cheburek suggests that the company may be primarily based on Adidas, as it features two stripes (a reference to the three stripes in Adidas' logo) while the ProLaps logo resembles that of Adidas. This is also a reference to the uniforms Adidas provided to the Soviet Olympic team in 1980, which featured only two stripes. It should be noted that Adidas acquired Reebok in 2005 and has operated it as a subsidiary since then. The Prolaps "Kicks" sports shoes purchasable by GTA Online characters also bear a strong resemblance to the Nike Cortez shoe.

The range of outfits available at ProLaps stores is as expected for a sporting outlet. The vast majority of items on sale are sports-related, including specialized accessories and attires, and uniforms for specific sporting teams based in San Andreas. Most items on offer at ProLaps are priced in a moderate-to-high price range, to reflect their high-performance nature; notably, watches from ProLaps are significantly more expensive and are the most expensive items in the store.

ProLaps is also the only store that offers motorcycle helmets (three types in total), all of which are listed under the "Hats" section; like other hats, the helmets are designed to be worn at all times but offer no extra protection to the player. The Pickelhaube-like "Helmut" in particular is compatible with the biker outfit set available at Victim.

Trivia

  • The name Prolaps is a play on the word "prolapse", meaning "to fall out of place"; or, more specifically, to a rectal prolapse. Together with the store's motto "[S]Train Hard", the joke behind the name is thus revealed, as a rectal prolapse is commonly caused by intense or prolonged straining during defecation.
    • The advertisement's tagline, "Destroy the Ring", references the latter.
  • The owner of the store in GTA San Andreas is depicted with a very camp personality, and appears to use homosexual slang, parodying the stereotype of butch men being interested in sports. This is also the case with Didier Sachs.
