Chris Paul has been an elite point guard in the NBA for what seems like ages. A testament to that consistency is his latest signature shoe, the Jordan CP3.IX.
While previous models focused on speed, the CP3.IX is all about “striking control.”
Says Jordan Brand:
The Jordan CP3.IX employs several performance-driven technologies to meet the demands of aggressive play. An innovative web-lacing system offers lateral support and 360-degree lockdown. A composite mesh material and strategically placed foam form a durable and supportive upper that is also lightweight and breathable. A full-length, breathable internal bootie provides a close, one-to-one fit.
A nine-chamber Zoom Air unit in the forefoot acts like a piston for mechanical cushioning and greater responsiveness. Outrigger enhancements to the sole provide lateral stability during sharp cuts and jumps while rubber wraps the medial side, enhancing traction and control.
There are also the usual easter eggs found on Chris Paul’s kicks that serve as nods to his family—like the Chinese symbol for “family” on the outsole.
Check out detailed images of the Jordan CP3.IX below and on the following pages. The Emerald colorway drops today (Oct. 1) as does the Yellow Dragon colorway in China.
