Mardi Gras this year pretty much started late two Sundays ago when the Saints triumphed in Super Bowl XLIV. Much more than just a ring, their victory over the Colts was a mirror of the entire Gulf Coast region; a testiment that the human spirit, indeed, cannot be squelched. So they continue party on Bourbon Street, and these kicks are the visual equivalent of drunken revelry.
New Orleans Hornets All-Star point guard Chris Paul would typically be fined for wearing something as ostentatious as the above pictured Air Jordan CP3.III Mardi Gras PEs. For the holiday today, Chris gets a chance to rock his latest Jordan Brand signature in rich tumbled leather: either purple or emerald green. Will he pull an MJ and rock one fresh pair a half? Stick with Sneaker News for updates on these and all Chris Paul Jordans.
