Jordan Brand continues its Year of the Dragon celebration on Thursday, June 7th, with the release of the Jordan CP3.V YOTD.
Look for these to hit select Jordan Brand accounts this week and let me know if you plan on getting a pair or if there is a particular model you would have rather seen this theme applied to.
Inspired by the shape-shifting Azure Dragon whose supernatural powers allowed it to fly among the clouds, we paid tribute to the luckiest year within the Chinese Zodiac calendar.
The same theme (derived from the Nine-Dragon Walls found in imperial Chinese palaces) has been applied to Chris Paul’s CP3.V in a unique and memorable way. The Azure Dragon finds itself on the tongue and sockliner of the shoe, as well as within Chinese characters visible beneath a translucent sole.
Tied to the legend of the Azure Dragon, clouds are a focal point of CP’s lightweight signature kicks. A cloud design covers the box’s tissue paper to set the tone, then continues in a light application on the forefoot, and under the translucent sole.

best year of the dragon themed shoe out of them all
Theyre pretty clean. Would have liked to see it on a retro like the YOTR AJ7 though.
hey NW, out of topic though. what is skinwire compare to flywire?
i want to see the yotd on the wade2 ev. they would look nice.
That would be interesting. This colorway is very clean so it could be used on quite a few models successfully.
