Jordan CP3 II
 Chris Paul has made almost daily appearances on our Kicks on Court column showcasing NBA superstars wearing great kicks, but coming soon is something special for Chris that will help keep him in that column on a regular basis.
Debuting to the public in March, the Jordan CP3 II, designed by Jordan Brand Senior Footwear Designer Jason Mayden (who is having a big year in 2009), is the second signature shoe for the young superstar. The opening day will feature two colorups; one in all black and another that takes inspiration from the Hornet’s hometown of New Orleans. The shoes feature a few similar lines to the Melo M5, specifically the midfoot section of the sole and overall silhouette. Check out higher res shots of both pairs releasing March 14th for $122. |
Air Jordan 1 High “Blue Sapphire”
 As the year winds down with only 2 more Spizikes to finish off ‘08, we take a look forward to 2009 that is sure to bring us much more color than just white, black, and red. The creative and lifestyle colorups were getting on the nerves of many, but I think that just about everyone is ready for some Air Jordans that com in something other than Chicago Bulls colors.
This Air Jordan 1 High comes in a solid tone “Blue Sapphire” colorway with a ripstop nylon upper. Look for these popping up in Jordan retailers just after the New Year for $105. |

Air Jordan XX3 Premier Black/Varsity Red
 The “Year of the 23″ will wrap up much like the debut of the Air Jordan XX3 with an extremely limited release of the Air Jordan XX3 Premier. Like with the Titanium Jordan XX3, the Black/Varsity Red Air Jordan XX3 Premier will carry the “23″ theme releasing at only 23 doors with sock of only 23 pairs per store with a sticker price of $230.
We have received reports of lineups forming at a number of locations already despite the release being a handful of days away. Check the list of shops carrying the shoes after the break including Millennium Shoes in Los Angeles. |
Throwback Thursday: Air Jordan 11 “Playoffs” Retro Comparison
 As we promised yesterday when we gave you detailed shots of the upcoming Air Jordan 11, we had a very special Throwback Thursday coming. This is the first Throwback Thursday to also incorporate a retro comparison.
No matter what shoes return for another round, there will always be differences minute or massive, but on the upcoming pair of “Playoff” Air Jordan 11’s, make up just a short list. The most noticeable difference on the shoes is the direction that the Jumpman logo is facing on the heel of the left shoe. On the 2001 retro, the Jumpman faces towards the front of the shoe while on the 2008 CDP retro, the Jumpman stays in its original form facing to the right. Some other differences we noticed was a stiffer leather was used around the heel providing the shoe with more shape after a few wearings and slightly less padding around the ankle and on the tongue. Lastly, the “JUMPMAN JORDAN” tags are slightly different and the laces on the ‘08 Jordan 11s are slightly thinner in diameter than that of the ‘01 retro. Overall, the 2008 CDP retro Jordan 11 has a more defined shape than the 2001 retro, but overall few will notice any differences. Have a look after the break of both the 2001 retro Air Jordan 11 and the 2008 CDP retro. |
