Chris Paul is not only one of the elite point guards in the NBA, he is also one of the few players that keeps a fresh sneaker game on and off the courts. A couple days ago, the New Orleans Hornets faced off against the Sacramento Kings at the New Orleans Arena. After warm-ups were completed and the players had taken the court, many at home stared at their TV screens in awe at what Chris Paul was wearing. Though seeing Chris Paul in a pair of Jordan Player exclusives is not something new, we have yet to see anybody in the NBA wear a colorway of the Jordan XX3 that can be compared to these. Featuring a white upper with carolina blue accents, this colorway is on point when it comes to matching them with the New Orleans Hornets’ jerseys. This pair was created solely for Chris Paul and will not be releasing to the public.

It was the trade of all trades. Legendary Philadelphia 76ers point guard Allen Iverson was being shipped to the Denver Nuggets, further enchancing the talent-rich Western Conference. Secondly, there were hopes that the brazen, yet veteran guard would provide the leadership and skills necessary to make the hopeful Nuggets a title contender. The stars never aligned for the Nuggs, as they made a series of early exits in the playoffs, but at least the lightning-quick Iverson was doing it in style. Reebok blessed the Answer with an exclusive pair of his tenth signature shoe, the Answer X in a beautiful white/powder yellow/sky blue color scheme. The X was a beautifully sculpted piece of kit, as it incorporated an exaggerated CMEVA midsole, half-zipper/half tradional lace closure system, and podular outsole to impart an organic feel on-court.

As part of Friday’s plethora of player exclusive releases at the House of Hoops in Chicago, Kobe’s Nike Hyperdunk Supreme PE will also be released. This pair of player exclusives features a bright yellow base, purple Nike swoosh, and purple accents to successfully display the Los Angeles Lakers’ team colors. As we have all come to know, Kobe Bryant’s light-weight hyperdunks have become the sneaker of choice for basketball players around the world. Though Bryant has not been spotted using this colorway on the courts to keep the Lakers a perfect 7-0 up till now, this pair helped Kobe jump a pool full of snakes in the popular Hyperdunk commercial; thus, this pair is commonly referred to as the Kobe Bryant Nike Hyperdunk Snake Pool. Expect these to release at House of Hoops in Chicago tomorrow, November 14th, 2008. Via Footlocker.

Though it only opened its doors earlier this week, Nike’s House of Hoops in Chicago has already made a name for itself as one of the nations’ leading Nike retailers. Earlier today, we showed you the Joe Johnson Jordan Jumpman Team Pro PE and the Ray Allen Jordan Jumpman Team Pro PE, which will both be Chicago HoH exclusives, and now we are happy to inform you that a pair of Larry Huges’ Nike Hyperdunk Supreme PE will drop tomorrow at Chicago’s House of Hoops. This pair of player exclusives is inspired by the Chicago Bulls’ home colorway of white and red. Alongside the white base and red flywire, this pair also features the word “Homegrown” written in cursive across the tongue to successfully seperate these player exclusives from all other Hyperdunks. These will be available tomorrow, November 14th, 2008, at the House of Hoops Chicago. Via Footlocker.!–more–>

The newest location for the House of Hoops is Chicago, and as we know when a new store opens, its their tradition to release a HoH exclusive to that store. First we have the exciting Jordan Jumpman Team Pro Player Exclusive (PE) made for Joe Johnson from the Atlanta Hawks.

Moving on to the sneakers, the Jordan Jumpman Team Pro Joe Johnson PE features the Atlanta Hawks colors, his initials “JJ” and his number 2 stitched on the side. Patent leather adds the finishing touches on this PE. More release information coming soon, but as we stated this is a Chicago exclusive. Some pictures thanks to andypark713.

Nike’s ‘07 Air Force 25 Campaign was a dud. Sure, the white jumpsuits, commercial, and Just Blaze beat/Juelz rhymes were hot, but the general product was…umm…not hot justified, particularly at a $150 pricepoint. Fact of the matter is, consumers weren’t paying that much for a product with zero casual appeal, and bulky technology. But when in-store releases fail, I often turn to player exclusives–and that’s exactly what I’ve done here. Uber-athletic Golden State forward Al Harrington sported this buttery smooth pair of blue patent/yellow patent AF25’s on court for the ‘07 campaign. Couple that with Al’s “AH32″ logo creatively applied to the ankle latch, and you’ve got a winner. Purchase this pair from a former Golden State equipment room manager here. (He/she will put them back up eventually!)
