JORDAN CP3.V MEN'S BASKETBALL SHOE

THE JORDAN CP3.V: ENGINEERED FOR QUICKNESS-BASED PLAYERS

The Jordan CP3.V Men's Basketball Shoe was designed with insights from Chris Paul's quick "sprint and cut" playing style. Paul's fifth signature shoe features a lightweight and supportive upper, plus innovative cushioning and signature details inspired by his personal life.

BENEFITS

Flywire construction for ultra-light support
Firm, responsive cushioning at push-off for quick, hard cuts
Strategically placed flex pods for excellent traction
Mesh tongue and ¾ inner sleeve for ventilation and a great fit

SIGNATURE DETAILS

In addition to the high-performance aspects of the Jordan CP3.V, designers made sure to integrate Paul's personal life into the design of this shoe. In high school he scored 61 points in a single game and dedicated the game to his deceased grandfather. This is represented by 61 triangle cutouts on the upper. Tally marks on the left and right heel represent two major milestones in his life: his marriage (9-10-11) and the birth of his son (5-24-09). In a nod to his notable bowling skills there's a five-tally detail on the medial side, a 10-pin cutout at the toe area and his shoe size stamped on the outsole.

SUPPORT

Designed with the most lightweight supportive technology available, the Flywire on the upper of the Jordan CP3.V Basketball Shoe offers enhanced support while making this version the lightest model to date. To create zonal support, a thin, plastic frame wraps the Flywire for lightweight lockdown only where you need it. An external midfoot shank on the outsole provides extra support and stability.

CUSHIONING

Dual-density cushioning in the forefoot combines responsive cushioning on the medial side of the foot and firm cushioning on the lateral side for enhanced stability when making hard cuts. In the heel, revolutionary Podulon®-- made up of strategically placed, modular cushioning pillars--contributes to the shoe's plush, cushy feel.

TRACTION

A solid rubber outsole with a multidirectional traction pattern provides excellent durability and traction on hard woods. The traction pattern is denser in high-wear areas like the heel and medial forefoot for enhanced traction.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS

Low-cut collar for natural motion through the ankle
Cushioned heel notch to help prevent slippage in the heel for better lockdown
Pull-tab on the heel for ease of entry
