Chris Paul isn’t the only number 3 with Jordan Brand anymore. With his third signature shoe on the way for next season, this China-exclusive design (from one great Chinese general – Zhao Zilong also named Zhao Yun who was born and famours 1000 years ago) serves as a great sendoff for the second.  The Jordan CP3.II pictured above has a white leather forefoot contrasted by black on the rear quarter.  Touches of gold and bright blue come in on the CP3.II’s signature swirly heel and tie in the lining, quilting and parts of the sole.

very handsome  general , YUN means cloud and  ZhiLong means small dragon in Chinese.

As Chris Paul emerges as one of the top point guards in the world, Jordan Brand will help build on his success by releasing the Air Jordan CP3 II in 2009. This sneaker seems to be inspired by the Air Jordan 23 (XXIII); most noticeably, the CP3 II borrows a stitching pattern on the side that is reminiscent of the Air Jordan 23. Built for one of the flashiest point guards in the NBA,this pair provides padded ankle support while keeping the cut low enough to allow for fluid motion on the basketball court. Paying tribute to Chris Paul’s New Orleans Hornets, the sneakers shown above also flaunts a New Orleans inspired graphic starting from right above the heel leading to the top the ankle support. The energy stitching and gold accents throughout this pair also correlate with the Hornets team colors. The CP3 II was available for all of Chris Paul’s loyal fans on March 3, 2009 for $122.

It’s Chris Paul’s birthday in Chinese – very old and traditional writing ways.

But truely speaking , i can’t think it’s one Chinese designed shoes and most Chinese will agree with me.Chines love red color and those cloud design like this.

Summer of 2010 will mark the release of the new Air Jordan IX, which sports a solid black bearing, white sole and citrus stitching of Jordan’s magical number 23 as well as the jumpman emblazon both on the back and on the sole of the shoes.

One interesting feature of the upcoming Air Jordan IX Retro is the markings it has on its sole. It has the marking of the jumpman on the heel side which by the way, comes in citrus as well; some Chinese writing which means “WORLD” and other interesting graphics. The desire to be distinct is clearly something the designers had in mind at the time they were brainstorming for the concept.

Whoever said women’s sneakers are only made of sweet and pastel colors has probably not seen this pair of very military-like sneakers. We are talking about the Nike WMNS Air Force 1 High in Black Gum Light Brown sneaker which was especially made for women, but definitely without using the popular women sneaker colorways.

Those are the popular women air force ones colorway.Do you love them?

The Nike WMNS Air Force 1 High in Black Gum Light Brown sneaker comes in a black patent leather upper, with matching black shoe laces and Nike swoosh. The tongue and the midsole are also in full black regalia.

But there’s a secret to the Nike WMNS Air Force 1 High in Black Gum Light Brown sneaker. For one, it is not entirely soulless and sans any of the trademarks found in women sneakers. On the contrary, the black color is only a façade and if you look more closely you will realize that the sneaker comes with a single strap on top of the laces.

And on this strap, as well as on the ankle tab, you will see a flower-designed black lace material, right on top of the plain brown herringbone fabric. With the perforated toe box, you can be assured of more comfortable walking ahead of you.

Truely i love the popular colorway, but i love the black flower air force ones more! Too beautiful to believe!

Timeless, classic, unparalleled. The Air Jordan I debuted in 1985 and changed the way we view athletic shoes. No longer functional footwear, sneakers became art and the Jordan I was the beginning of a long legacy. Rejected then retroed and re-retroed, but never forgotten, the Air Jordan Retro I is sure to be a favorite. Today i will introduce one new member of the great Jordan 1.

This time, it’s the two newest iterations of the iconic AJ1: the Air Jordan 1 Strap and the Air Jordan 1 Premier.  Each type sees two new styles.  The AJ1 Strap pairs are both done in canvas, with the Swoosh featuring ragged edges.  One rocks a Denver Nuggets-like colourway of black, university blue, white and yellow, while the other keeps the white and favors navy blue and varsity red for an All-American feel.But all of those colorways i only like this pair.

Meanwhile, the Premium-equivalent Premier pairs live up to their name with lush treatments.  One pair is a shiny affair in white and metallic platinum, featuring woven side panels and toes.  This theme is also repeated on a velcro-equipped Low.  The other High features a lushmarbled suede upper quite similar to a beautiful pack of Supras that dropped this week,along with a tonal canvas Swoosh and navy blue accents.  All four pairs of these are quite impressive, so the only reason not to get any of them might be that you can’t afford them all.

We always like how Supra TK Society sneakers are very colorful, reflecting the personality of their creator, Terry Kennedy. This Supra TK Society Blue/Lime Green is definitely no different, featuring two colors that are bright but work very well together.

Expected to drop in Spring 2010, this Supra sneaker is done up in bright blue cracked leather with dark paint splatter marks throughout the upper. Complimenting the vibrant blue, the vulcanized sole is lime green with a black pinstripe. These definitely aren’t for everyone, but for you Supra enthusiasts out there, check back for more information as it becomes available.

Here also have many release Supra which have great colorway too.

These aren’t your regular pair of socks. These are special. They even come in their own box. Celebrating 25 years of Air Jordans the Jordan company plans to release a number of socks with details on each one related to a specific Air Jordan shoe. Look at the picture closely to see which shoe was inspired for each sock.

Nothing could say just great!!
