Two new colorways of the New Orleans Hornets Guard Chris Paul’s signature sneaker in white and red was released in 2008. The Jordan CP takes inspiration from New Orleans Mardi Gras Indians and bowling (!?), CP is a hardcore bowler for those of you who don’t know, on the shoe the ankles were designed to emulate bowling pins.

In the back heel of the shoe you will find “61xty” written out vertically. This pays respect to Chris Pauls grand father who was killed at the age of 61, CP scored 61 points a few days later in a High School basketball game and walked off the court not scoring another point as a tribute to his late grandfather.

My son purchased these new in 2008 and never wore them.
