In my honest opinion, this is the best CP3 shoe thus far. The wht/blk/red and blk/wht/orion blue colorway dropped today, February, the blk/purple/orion blue drops, and in March, the blk/blksilver and wht/blk/sunstone yellow colorway will drop.
Me personally, I'm just going to pick up the blk/purple/orion blue colorway, blk/blk/silver, and hopefully the Mardi Gras/HoH colorway if it's still around.
I'm well aware that we have a couple other CP3.III Post, but who's better than me to orchestrate an official post?

Summer 2010Jordan Brand and Chris Paul are officially set to introduce the Jordan CP3.III on December 24th with the release of the Mardi Gras Jordan CP3.III at the House of Hoops. The Jordan CP3.III is Chris Paul's third signature sneaker with the Jordan Brand and is a collaborative effort between Jason Mayden and Chris Paul himself. The Jordan CP3.III is the first Jordan Brand sneaker to incorporate Podulon, an Independent Podular Suspension (IPS)-inspired technology created to make the sneaker feel just as responsive and comfortable throughout its lifetime as during the first wear.
The Jordan CP3.III's overall design inspiration comes from hornets, chosen both for their reference to Chris's NBA team (New Orleans Hornets) and for their amazing maneuverability in nature. In addition to design elements symbolizing hornets, the Jordan CP3.III includes details personal to Chris, such as a family crest graphic and an outsole reference to bowling.
Performance Features

-Varied herringbone traction pattern allows athlete to have 360-degree traction while aiding in quick stops and starts
-Rubber wrap extends up the medial outsole to protect against toe drag
-Raised outsole tip, forefoot and lateral heel for increased stability during sharp cutting movements
-In mold compression molded phylon heel pod provides cushioning for high impact landing

Design Features

-Outsole features a reference to bowling, one of Chris's favorite hobbies, by calling out each shoe's size
