Air Jordan CP3.II Is Slowly Growing On Me

Air Jordan CP3.II - Released May 2009

CP3.II for 188.99 isn’t that bad at all.

I did not like these sneakers when the internetz first started showing picutres of them. I was thinking “they too busy” or “the colorways are wrong” but after seeing some better pictures, and reading the fantastic review of the sneaker on Nicekicks, I feel that maybe these sneakers got something going for them.

Lets face it, many sneakers perform well or do their job, what makes you go for one sneaker or shoe verses another is the look and style. I didn’t give this sneaker many style points at first but now I have to give it to Jordan hat they did a good job on this.

But its all about the colorways

A colorway can save a sneaker or kill one. The CP3.II seems to get the right colorways.

(by the way, this colorway is growing on me)

(oh yeah and since it has purple in it, I suspect to see it allot in NYC)

(currently the purple capital of the world)

Not too many sneaker blogs said much about the release party… but I guess if your a sneaker blog, why post stuff that isn’t very specifically sneakers (then what the hell am I doing??? lol Oh yeah, I’m trying to take footwear loving to another level)… anyway, he had a release party of which MC Lyte, Ray J, Big Tigger and others cam through to congratulate the man Chris Paul himself.

In the end, I think this is going to be a collectible sneaker. I really didn’t think so at first, but now I do. I may get me myself a pair (but I am watching my budget this year so I may have to wait for it to be on sale if it goes that route).

Side Eye Of Death: Air Jordan Fusion IX Low

Air Jordan 9 (IX) Fusion Low

(^^^what the hell is this^^^)

SIDE EYE OF DEATH

This is like THE WORST IDEA that they came up with in a while. While the Air Jordan 9 Fusion actually looks pretty good, especially the white and red, these lows just don’t cut it at all. Most comments I seen from many sneaker blogs all over the net on this sneaker right here were bad.

I mean this yall, I am submitting this to Failblog.com lol
