I'm assuming that you are talking about putting on a shoe and being able to jump higher, and not a shoe for training purposes.
Shoe comfort and fit is going to be the biggest issue. Shoes claiming to "transfer" more force from the ground are likely going to be a hoax. It would be quite easy to create a double blind test, and have it peer reviewed on the subject but copapnies not doing so are really saying that it cannot be proven.
Lightweight shoes feel comfortable and light which can make you feel energized, but the difference in weight is really not enough to be statistically significant in a jumping contest.
In the end there have not been any "bouncy" shoes to this point, and if there ever is it will be very OBVIOUS if they really work, and you won't be able to deny it.
See my link for a full discussion of the topic, and some discussion in the comments if you like. Hope this helps.

Who Doesn't Want Cheap Designer Shoes?
If you could get cheap designer shoes would you not jump at the opportunity? Most people would gladly do this. However, this kind of thing likely seems impossible to you until now. There are actually plenty of places that will sell you cheap designer shoes if you are willing to put in the effort to find these kinds of locations. Get to work looking for online stores in particular that may have an overstock of designer shoes. When they have this kind of imbalance in supply and demand, they are certain to drop the prices in order to get that supply off of their shoulders. You are just the one who happens to jump in and help them to make this happen.

Do volleyball shoes improve your jump?
Answer 1: No. I'd say they're just a waste of money, because 'regular' tennis shoes are just the same. It's you, and your body that make you jump, not the shoes. Okay so my answer is Yes and no. Depending on what shoe you get I guess. I'm not saying that court shoes magically lift you off the ground, but depending on the weight of your shoes it can make the difference. Some court shoes are super light, and feel like you don't have anything on your feet. Some are really heavy, I find that Adidas shoes are of that kind. So because tennis shoes are usually pretty heavy, court shoes could make your feet feel less clunky and more light.
