Jordan Hallowed Ground “Oak Hill Academy” at House of Hoops in November
Lately we’ve been revealing some of the Hallowed Ground PE’s, including the Rip Hamilton we showed you last week. The Rip and this “Oak Hill” edition both hit House of Hoops in November. The Oak Hill edition pays respects to Jordan Brand’s Carmelo Anthony who attended Oak Hill Academy, a high school basketball superpower located in Virginia. Notable baller alumni include Melo, Rajon Rondo, Jerry Stackhouse and Brandon Jennings to name a few.
The shoe has a black suede upper hilighted by varsity red contrast stitching, that sits on top of a red to black gradient midsole. Gold hilights include the Jumpman on the lateral upper and outsole, Oak Hill stitched in the tongue, and 23 stitched below the laces. The sock liner also displays a Warrior (Oak Hill’s mascot) dribbling a basketball. For more shots check the Gallery.
Jordan CP3.III at Foot Locker and House of Hoops 1/02/10
Chris Paul’s latest signature shoe rings in the new year, arriving at Foot Locker and House of Hoops locations Saturday, January 2nd. It is pictured here in Hornets black/orion blue/white, with more colors to come.
The top of the upper is black suede, with a layer of etched coat-of-arms just below it complete with interlocked “C” and “P” and fleur-de-lis, the French symbol you see all over New Orleans gear (think Saints’ helmet).
The remainder of the upper is white leather with black contrast stitching, giving way to a black midsole with white speckling. The outsole has one of the most interesting herringbone layouts I have seen, arranging the standard zig-zag patterns around clusters of hexagons that recall the honeycomb pattern of a hornets nest, another subtle reference to CP3’s team. For more shots, and a wallpaper of this outsole check the Gallery.
