Jordan Chris Paul CP3.II Detailed Look and Detailed Breakdown

Share This Post ↓

 

 
For the second year in a row, Chris Paul, the young All-Star face of the Jordan Brand, has received his second Jordan signature sneaker. A sleeker departure from his CP3, the CP3.II was designed to complement the speed and sharpness of Chris Paul's game while also embodying his off-court lifestyle of family, faith and community.
 
The Jordan CP3.II draws inspiration from the sport of futsal, a dynamic and largely international game of indoor five-versus-five soccer. Futsal is known for lightning-quick dribbling foot patterns and agile cutting, two performance attributes the Jordan CP3.II delivers for Chris’ on-court performance needs. With the recent 2008 Beijing Summer Olympics proving the game of basketball is more international than ever, the Jordan CP3.II represents the global reach of the sport.
