“When designing the Jordan CP, we collaborated with Chris to create a shoe that best represents his game and his life,” said Jason Mayden, Senior Footwear Designer, Jordan Brand.
“The Jordan CP is the perfect blend of style and high-performance, a reflection of Chris while he is on the court and a tribute to his life off of it.”
The high-performance technology built into the Jordan CP will assist Paul in his pursuit of becoming the best point guard in basketball. Known for his agility and speed, Paul required a shoe that could enhance his skills on the court.
Constructed with features such as ventilated ankle areas for dynamic breathability, contoured heel lining for comfort, the Jordan CP is made with revolutionary, lightweight materials (weighing in at a light 14oz.) and superior traction.
Segmented outsole pods were added to create flexibility for natural motion. These elements combined showcase a shoe that exceeds performance.
Chris Paul embodies the virtues of a Team Jordan athlete through his indisputable talent, leadership skills and strong work ethic.
Since high school, when he was named North Carolina's Mr. Basketball his senior year, Paul has proven himself time and time again as an athleteand as a role model.
He earned All-American honors at Wake Forest University before being selected fourth overall in the 2005 draft by the New Orleans Hornets. In his first season as a professional, Paul was named the 2005-2006 T-Mobile NBA Rookie of the Year, receiving 124 of the 125 first place votes.
This year, he continues to demonstrate his abilities as one of the top point guards in the league, earning his first All-Star selection while leading the Hornets in most major statistical categories and guiding the team towards the playoffs after the best start in franchise history.
The Jordan CP will launch nationwide on Saturday, March 1, 2008 with a suggested retail price of $115. Retailer information is available. The Jordan CP release will also be supported with an online feature launching on Friday, Friday 29, 2008.
