Chris Paul is one of the last true and through traditional point guards left in the NBA today. He’s a rare combination of insane court vision, handles, and creative playmaking that makes him one of the top players in the league season after season. CP3 has been a Jordan Brand athlete for over a decade now, and this season he’ll join rare company as he’s only the second player on Jordan Brand’s roster to reach a 10th signature silhouette with the Jordan CP3.X.
Guys like Carmelo Anthony and Chris Paul represent a different time in the Jumpman history when the brand was still looking to expand their signature sneaker category for a roster full of some of the NBA’s top talent. Now players like Russell Westbrook, Kawhi Leonard, and LeMarcus Aldridge all feature the latest numbered model, the Air Jordan XXX1 on-feet in a number of PE colorways throughout the year, allowing for Melo and Chris seniority in the signature lineup.
The Jordan CP3.X features a low top breathable mesh construction complete with a unique overlay that acts as a protective cage overlay with a swirling array of indentations, speckles, and Jumpman branding. This unique feature also morphs into the midsole unit for a low profile that allows for quick cuts and stability for maximum control. So far, three colorways have been showcased in a University Red/Infrared look, a Black/Volt full of vibrant speckles, and a simple Black/Ice with hints of Obsidian throughout. So what do you think of Chris Paul’s upcoming Jordan CP3.X?
