Chris Paul and the Los Angeles Clippers have endured a long and strenuous season to say the least. It’s been full of ups and downs, but through it all the Clipper will probably end up with one of the better records in the West and look to have a successful playoff run. Once the postseason begins, it’s time to bring out the Jordan CP3.X AE.

The Jordan CP3.X AE is a version of Chris Paul’s latest signature sneaker designed for the postseason/playoffs. Our first look at the shoe shows that it comes in a Grey colorway from top to bottom. My initial thoughts of the shoe shows that the overall build and design appears to be a bit more mellow and toned down compared to the original Jordan CP3.X. The upper features a woven construction as well as a Flywire for additional support. Are you a fan of the slimmed down look? Available overseas, we will let you know once they arrive stateside.

Reminiscent of the silhouette?s 2010 Motorsports edition, the sneaker flaunts a timeless combination of black and white across its premium tumbled leather construction. Hyper jade accents gracing the Jumpman logo on the tongue, lace locks, insole and outsole pronounces the clean design, while an icy translucent outsole finishes off its profile.

SHOP: Air Jordan 7 Pantone — Available NOW on Kixify

Similar to the AJ 9 Low which released this past June 2016, the Air Jordan 7 will be receiving a Pantone finish as well, and it’s expected to debut this Spring 2017.

Covered in a palette of university blue and white, this particular colorway is also suggested to be a tribute to MJ?s alma mater — University of North Carolina.

The defining tone essentially drapes its nubuck-based upper while it’s perfectly offset against a full-length white rubber sole unit. Additional details include more white accents located on the heel, tongue and Jumpman branding on its ankle section.

Author’s Take:

Renz Ofiaza, News: This style is one of my favorite from the lineage and I’m a fan of tonal iterations in general. I’m not really keen on this particular colorway though, but, it’s a perfect pair for the spring/summer season.

Just yesterday we gave you a look at the Air Jordan 31 PE colorway that North Carolina was hooked up with. Jordan Brand keeps things rolling as they’ve now given the men’s basketball team a special Air Jordan 13 Low.

Wolf Grey accents can then be seen on the ankle and mudguard. Completing the PE look is North Carolina’s classic argyle print on the inner liner. Thoughts? Let us know in the comments below.

Last year we saw the release of the Air Jordan 9 Low Pantone as one of the many low tops that Jordan Brand dropped during the Summer season. This light shade of blue will be used once again on another retro, this time the Jordan 6.

Constructed out of a smooth and tumbled leather upper, this grade school colorway of the Air Jordan 6 is done in Still Blue all throughout the upper, including the inner liner, tongue, laces, and heel tab. Contrasting White can then be seen on the Jumpman branding on the lace lock and heel, the heel tab, and the entire sole unit.

Look for the Air Jordan 6 GS Still Blue to arrive at retailers in extended sizes on March 25, 2017 for $140.

The UNC Tar Heels men’s basketball squad is still battling to maintain their place in the Top 10 of the college basketball rankings, and Jordan Brand is here to give the team the boost it needs with another fresh PE in this argyle-lined Jordan 13 Low perfect for the coming March Madness season.

The Air Jordan 13 Low UNC PE features a clean Carolina Blue mesh upper with accents of Wolf Grey on the mudguard and midsole to contrast the premium white leather toe. Perhaps the most interesting feature is what won’t readily appear on television when the Heels wear these this March – the classic argyle lining to match the signature stripes on UNC’s jerseys truly pops and is something we’d love to see actually hit retailers to give UNC fans the world over something special to add to their collection. But alas, this is just the perks of being one of the top college basketball players in the country lucky enough to play for Roy Williams.

Check out more detailed shots below and while these won’t release, you can stay updated on the latest coming attractions via our Air Jordan Release Dates page.

A graphic inner liner, in addition to detailing across its heel, chenille Jumpman logo on its tongue and ?1993? on the pull tabs, rounds out the overall detailing.

There was a bit of controversy regarding the retro release of the Air Jordan XV back in January. The original version of the shoes featured Zoom Air units embedded into the forefoot and heel of the sole, and even Nike’s official description of the Retro stated that the Air Jordan XV Retro would feature the same cushioning system. It was uncovered that the Retro version only featured heel Zoom, much to the dismay of a select group of sneakerheads. It’s safe to say that next weekend’s first-ever release of the Air Jordan XV Retro “Obsidian” will feature only heel Zoom Air, but we surmise that most consumers will be using these for casual wear.

Take a look at the official images of the Air Jordan 15 Obsidian below and stay tuned for the release on March 4th on Nike.com and Jordan retailers worldwide.
