Chris Paul CP3 II (Black/White/Orion Blue)

For those of you who didn't like the Mardi Gras edition of the CP3 II that I posted a while back then you might like these. They will release next month (March 14) and retail for $118. Not a bad looking/hooping shoe if you ask me. Be on the look out for several other colors that are suppose to hit retail throughout the year. Just so you can be educated what's on your feet I included the tech specs below.....Peace!

Agility and Transition
•Primary lateral outrigger assists with cutting and stability
•Secondary lateral outrigger helps the athlete stay on his toes when cutting
•Internal gore strap crosses the tongue to hold the foot tight and save valuable seconds in reaction time
•Rubber wraps up medial side for smooth and agile movement

Stability and Support
•Cutting-edge New Foam material molds to the foot and acts like a built-in ankle brace
•Midfoot shank arch plate ensures a strong foundation for the foot
•Achilles heel support pads lock ankle into shoe

Traction
