Chris Paul is the nicest guy you’ll ever meet, but put a ball in his hand and all that changes. Chris Paul transforms from a mild-mannered southern gentleman to an assist-firing, point-scoring beast the second he steps on the hardwood. CP’s incredible on-court alter-ego is the inspiration for the mean green Jordan CP3.II.
Only 360 pairs of the CP3.II superhero-edition will be released in the U.S., and they are available exclusively on Flight Club today, April 30th. Via NiceKicks

Two weeks ago, we showed you the collaboration design between BLENDS and DC LIFE on the Admiral Hi. Many of you stated that it was a very sick design. In the same manner we have now spotted a joint effort between Standard and DC Shoes on the same sneaker.
This shoe was designed in lieu of Standard’s official second location opening on Lenox Square. Inspired by the heavy red accents seen at both store locations, the Admiral Hi contains a 100% true red leather upper combined with a white rubber sole. Other details include perforated side panels, green custom shoelaces (drawing inspiration from the artificial turf that covers the floor at the new store) and a silver DC logo tag to the left of the side panels. In addition, this sneaker also possesses custom insoles inspired by the aforementioned turf floors. Via NiceKicks

Their concept is the Nike Air Trainer 90, of course the most classic colors were combined to form a nice combination of white, black, Infrared and grey.

At the price of $92, the Nike Zoom FP is a nice pair of kicks for the courts this summer. This colorway is a good mix up of Stealth Grey and University Blue.

We’ve seen a number of colorways of the Air Jordan Fusion 9 so far. One of the OG colorways that will be making a return on May 9th in the form of the Fusion 9 is this Black and Varsity Red colorup. As with all Fusion releases, the Air Jordan Fusion 9 as been met with mixed reviews. This particular colorway is a memorable one for me, as these were the first OG Jordans I was able to pick up as a kid. The colorway is a definite winner, as for the Fusion series, its growing on me, but I still would rather have my classic Jordans. Via NiceKicks
