That’s right ladies and gentleman, the NBA All Star weekend is finally here. NBA All Star weekend provides all hoop fans with a time to watch some of the best basketball players in the world go out and have fun. For this year, Nike has decked out their top athletes with some of the hottest gear on the market. Ranging from Lebron James’ Nike Zoom Lebron VI (6) – All Star Game all the way to the eco-friendly Nike Zoom MVP Trash Talk – All Star Game, Nike will definitely be well represented this weekend. A couple other notable sneakers worth checking out are the Nike Huarache ‘09, the Nike Zoom Kobe IV, and the Air Jordan CP3 II. All of the aforementioned sneakers can be seen after the ‘jump’ as well as on players’ feet this weekend. Via Kenlu.

Jordan Brand has made an Air Jordan 2009 Player Exclusive for each of their athletes participating in the 2009 NBA All Star Game. We have shown you the pairs Ray Allen and Joe Johnson will rock in the ‘09 ASG and it is now time to take a first look at Chris Paul’s AJ 2009 PE. CP3’s pair is very similar to Johnson’s PE and features a white leather upper with white satin panels, a light red midsole and ankle, a deep red blown-glass midsole, and gold accents. Chris Paul has had numerous Air Jordan player exclusives in the past and the newest one to add to his arsenal is this pair which CP3 will be rocking during All Star Weekend beginning February 13, 2009.

Chris Paul is definitely emerging into one of the best point guards to currently play in the NBA. Going along with his success on the courts, he has experienced much success in the footwear department as well. Jordan Brand has been hooking up their athlete with some real heat as of late and this On Court article yields no exception. On January 26, 2009, the Hornets took on the Philadelphia 76ers when CP3 rocked a player exclusive colorway of the Air Jordan Six Rings. Two games later, Chris Paul stepped onto the courts and surprised fans by actually rocking his own sneaker, the Air Jordan CP3 II. Paul has been known to wear the newest AJ models, but as the release date of his own signature sneaker nears, expect to see Paul rocking the CP3 II more often. Check out pictures of both pairs after the ‘jump.’ Via Yahoo Sports.

With the second installment of his signature ride, the CP3 2.0, waiting in the wings, New Orleans Hornets point God Chris Paul has been sporting exclusive variations of the luxurious Air Jordan XX3 (23). In short, Paul couldn’t be in a more enviable position. And to coincide with the NBA’s asinine, “51% of the sneaker must match the player’s jersey,” rule, the talented crew over at Jordan Brand manufactured this delicious black/teal version of MJ’s 23rd signature. (Cats in the sneaker industry don’t view the “51%” rule as a law; rather, it’s a challenge to combine the sickest flavors into a playable package!) CP’s “Away” pair features a teal ankle collar, TPU support wrap, and stitch pattern. His creative logo is colored up in white, and sits across the middle of the aforemenetioned collar. If you want a pair, you’re probably not in luck. Chris auctioned these off through his charity a couple of weeks ago–the winning bid finished off at more than $3000! Images via crownt33

As Chris Paul emerges as one of the top point guards in the world, Jordan Brand will help build on his success by releasing the Air Jordan CP3 II in 2009. This sneaker seems to be inspired by the Air Jordan 23 (XXIII); most noticeably, the CP3 II borrows a stitching pattern on the side that is reminiscent of the Air Jordan 23. Built for one of the flashiest point guards in the NBA, this pair provides padded ankle support while keeping the cut low enough to allow for fluid motion on the basketball court. Paying tribute to Chris Paul’s New Orleans Hornets, the sneakers shown above also flaunts a New Orleans inspired graphic starting from right above the heel leading to the top the ankle support. The energy stitching and gold accents throughout this pair also correlate with the Hornets team colors. The CP3 II will be available for all of Chris Paul’s loyal fans on March 3, 2009 for $122. Check out the other colorway set to debut alongside this pair after the jump.

On December 10, 2008, the New Orleans Hornets faced off against the Charlotte Bobcats at the New Orleans Arena. The regular season matchup celebrated the 40th Anniversary of the New Orleans franchise. To commemorate the occasion, the team suited up in New Orleans Buccaneers uniforms, the city’s original team. Jordan Brand created a player exclusive colorway of the Air Jordan 23 (XX3) for devilishly quick point guard Chris Paul to sport for the occasion. This player exclusive colorway features a red upper with a white midsole, white shoe lace region, and the typical Air Jordan XX3 side pattern in white. These will most likely not be released to the public, but don’t be too surprised if detailed pictures of this pair are revealed in upcoming weeks. Pictures via Yahoo Sports.
