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.
