This past month has seen quite a few changes with the way Nike launches big ticket items, presumably a response to the growing problems of crowd control and massive lines forming at retail spots nearly every weekend. Their latest move seems to aim to take some of the stress off their online retail spot, as this weekend’s anticipated release of the Air Jordan IV ‘Cavs’ will not be available via NikeStore online. Also unavailable online will be the four Jordan CP3.V styles launching tomorrow, May 9th. Let us know in the comments what you think of the switch up and remember to make it out to a physical location for your best chance at any of these styles.

A huge game for Carmelo Anthony and the New York Knicks means that we’ll continue to see two of Jordan Brand’s Big three battling it out, a battle which will continue to feature the Jordan Melo M8 and the Jordan Fly Wade 2 EV on feet. Aside from that the 2012 NBA Playoffs of course have Chris Paul in there as a representative in his sig, with a few others around the league rounding out the pack with both retros and newer end models.

If you’ve been skipping over the Jordan CP3.V for the the duration of its shot lifespan now is the time to spot, with the sneaker about ready to drop in two of the sickest off-court colorways the model has gotten yet. The two get more or less the same palette, alternating between them with the more muted ‘Good’ pair and the wild style ‘Evil’ pair (also known as Jekyll and Hide). Hit the gallery below for an updated look at the Jordan CP3.V’s shown here and remember that they’ll arrive in stores on May 9th.

A little over a month ago we already had a good idea of the foundation for what would be Jordan Brand’s May 2012 releases, but as you should know by now they can be a bit opaque with their schedule. Filling in the gap is this new crop of official shots, which cements the retros on their way like the Air Jordan XI Low, Air Jordan XII, and Air Jordan IV, but also adds some newer end models to the mix including the Jordan Blazin’ and the Jordan SC-2. Hit the jump with us for this updated look at the May 2012 releases from Jumpman drop a line in the comments if you’ll be scooping some of these up.

Over the past few seasons Jordan Brand has made much about tapping into two different kinds of players, as evidenced by the separate insole set ups on both the Air Jordan 2011 and the Air Jordan 2012. This new duo of colorways for the Jordan CP3.V seems to be aiming for that approach all in one model, speaking to those looking for something louder with the crimson colored ‘Hyde’ pair and also catering to the cool headed with the wolf grey ‘Jekyll’. As it turns out the two from the Jekyll and Hyde pack are actually just around the corner, releasing a week from today on Wednesday, May 9th. Hit the jump for the official images of the Jordan CP3.V ‘Jekyll and Hyde’ and let us know which ones you’re copping.

The 2012 NBA Playoffs have arrived, and we’re getting a look a the Jordan Brand action out there as promised. As to to be expected the Big Three each laced up their signature sneakers, leaving the rest of the league to get a bit more creative with their selection. Jared Jeffries certainly did that, adapting with the Air Jordan IV ‘Cavs’ as a close match to his Knicks uni. Elsewhere the Jordan Play in These II and the Air Jordan X ‘Stealth’ made up a good number of our sightings with multiple players in each.

And to think there was almost no NBA season this year. Instead we got an action packed 4 months, a stretch of time that was particularly good to Jordan Brand athlete Chris Paul. His efforts with the LA Clippers throughout the season have granted them a number 5 seed in the 2012 NBA Playoffs, which has in turn granted his latest signature silhouette the CP3.V with two slick post season colorways. Both of the upcoming drops are dipped in the patriotic palette of the Clippers, with red, white, and blue applied heavily on both. Continue reading for the full angles and circle May 9th on your calender if you’re eager to grab the Jordan CP3.V ‘Playoffs’ colorways.

The 2011-2012 NBA season is just about in the books, making this our last look around the league before the weak are culled from the pack and we move on to the NBA Playoffs. There will be plenty more Jordan sightings at that level of play but we’re losing a few soldiers, among them the ever so consistent Monta Ellis pictured above in the Air Jordan X.

Since Dwyane Wade rose to super-stardom after entering the NBA as a fourth overall pick in that bonkers 2003 NBA Draft, a greater spotlight has been placed over the Jordan Brand-ed Marquette University in hopes that another Wade will emerge as the next great star. That hasn’t happened yet, but we at least know the school is represented by the greatest of all-time, as Marquette is one of a select handful of NCAA programs donning the Jumpman. During the 2012 NCAA Tournament, some players were issued this PE colorway of the Jordan CP3.V, which combines University Blue with Del Sol yellow and Midnight Navy for a sweet color-burst package. You’d be surprised how inexpensive these unreleased Jordans came out to be, so peep the images below and check out the final price from this forgone listing from que38 on eBay.
