It seems like every six days we get news on the CP3.X; from 12 days ago when the first images leaked from overseas, to six days ago when we were able to lock down tech specs and traction images. Now, we get the first release colorway — Infrared/Black/Bright Mango/White — and it can be bought here.
According to Nike, here are the official tech specs:
Designed for fast, dynamic play, the Jordan CP3.X Men’s Basketball Shoe features a one-piece, seamless woven upper for lightweight support and a Nike Zoom air unit for ultra-responsive cushioning underfoot.
— Rubber traction pattern allows for quick cuts and jumps
— Flywire cables integrate with laces for dynamic lockdown
— Injected Phylon midsole for lightweight cushioning
— TPU cage for durability and lateral stability
This colorway just released on Nike.com less than an hour ago and retail, as reported, is $125. No word release dates for the other colorways we saw but you can be sure that they are close behind with the NBA season coming fast. Look back at the linked posts above if you have already forgotten about the Space Jam and Black/Yellow styles.
As you know, a performance review is coming — it’s just what we do.
Let us know below if you plan on picking up and if so, what colorway. If not, speak now or forever hold that piece.

Wow these are weird. And almost 0 tech
I wouldn’t quite say zero. It’s a woven upper, has flywire, and forefoot zoom. Is it great tech? Certainly not. But I’d say it’s close to par with what they usually put out.
As far as I see it, you’d want to pit this against the Kyrie 2 at sig price point, and especially since they’re both guards. At least this has forefoot Zoom, Flywire and knit as stated above.
But then when you mix in the Lillard 2 at which is at half-life, it’s like…uhhhh. Start going into team shoes and the new Adidas stuff makes you think twice.
I’m holding out until the pods return……. story of my life, all pods must pass apparently.
Will wait for the playoff version
