: MediaTakeOut.com got word that yesterday NBA's Chris Paul became the first player to have his own line of Jordan's - besides Jordan himself of course. The sneaker deal is reported to be bringing Paul in excess of $20M.
We're not too interested in the sneakers, but we figured that some of you ladies (and some of you gents) would be interested in pics of Chris Paul. ENJOY!!!!
***, Ore (February 26, 2008) –Jordan Brand, a division of NIKE, Inc., announced the launch of Chris Paul’s first signature shoe, the Jordan CP, set to release on March 1, 2008. Now in his third season as point guard for the New Orleans Hornets, Paul joins select Team Jordan athletes Carmelo Anthony and Derek Jeter as members of the Brand with their own signature shoe. By the way, he is a cutie.
dayum MTO, yall wrong again. You need to verify shidd before you report it. Basic research. Chris Paul is the 3rd athlete to get a shoe under the JORDAN brand. Melo and Derek Jeter also have a shoe under the Jordan brand. Dont believe me check it out here. MTO yall some bogus azz reporters.

Yeah it's true alot of people have their own style of J's but those are Jumpmans by Brand Jordan, The original jordans are Nike Air Jordans those are the 23's that's out now. Not bad to be in competition with yourself for sales.Don't buy them off the internet with the off the wall colors because most are not real,just check the fine print and it'll say not licensed by Nike or Brand Jordan.
MTO get your facts straight...Carmelo Anthony, Derrick Jeter, & even Randy Moss(a few years ago) had their own signature Jordan Brand shoe before Chris Paul...in addition to that there are numerous atheletes without a signature shoe that endorse the Jordan Brand(i.e. Ray Allen, Mike Bibby, T.O., Rip Hamilton etc.).
To answer the question about jordan having his own line if somone else is wearing his shoes. He is retired so he cant wear them, its the eqiuvlent of a *** indorsing a product, like charles barkley did with right guard or micheal jordan did with his everal indorsment deals and is still doing hayens ballpark franks and so forth. hes a star in the nba and stars in there respective sport er-go derek jeter, roy jones etc. are stars so they get paid to represent a star brad of foot ware which happen to be jordans that been going on for ever now. thats my two cents
