Throughout most of the season, Paul Pierce of the Boston Celtics wore player exclusive colorways of his own sneaker, the Nike Max P2 V, but now that the stakes are higher and the playoffs have started, Pierce has decided to switch to the Nike Zoom Sharkley. The Nike Zoom Sharkley was the sneaker of choice for many guards earlier in the season, but most have moved on to other sneakers including the Nike Zoom Phenom. This “Home” Nike Zoom Sharkley Player Exclusive (PE) features a white upper accented by a green midsole, green inner lining, a black outsole, a clear sole under the heel, and Pierce’s logo on the rear. Unfortunately, this colorway was made exclusively for Paul Pierce, and will most likely never be available in stores.

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.

This edition of “On Court” features a key matchup between Chris Paul and Carmelo Anthony. No, we’re not discussing which is the better athlete, but rather who looked better in regard to sneakers when the New Orleans Hornets faced off against the Denver Nuggets on Thanksgiving Day. Chris Paul stepped onto the courts with an Air Jordan XX3 Player Exclusive very similar to the Air Jordan XX3 inspired by the University of North Carolina which was released on November 28, 2008.  On the other side of the court, Carmelo Anthony was seen wearing a player exclusive colorway of the Air Jordan Melo M5, Carmelo’s newest signature sneaker. This colorway will most likely not be released to the public and will stay in Anthony’s personal sneaker vault. As for the game, the Hornets beat the Nuggets with a final score of 105 to 101, but Anthony outscored Paul 24 to 22.  More pictures of the two pairs can be seen after the jump.
