Footwear Faceoff: Chris Paul vs. Kevin Martin Air Jordan XX3 ‘Away’ PE’s
Posted by George Kiel III | Jan 15, 2009|
Sacramento Kings guard Kevin Martin and New Orleans guard Chris Paul are, without a doubt, two of the top 20 players in the league. Although most people might agree with me by crowning Paul as the better player between the two, we have another battle to settle between the two. Who owns the better Air Jordan 23 PE? According to you, both of their Air Jordan 23 ‘Away’ PEs have been two of the best sneakers seen this year in our Kicks On Court. It would be nice to see more sneakers in both of these colorways! With that said, is it the black with the purple or the black and baby blue that interest you the most? Cast your vote after the jump!

Jan 21, 2009 at 12:47 am
Fsbulous, just fabulous!

I call it a tie because they both go with the uniforms respectively….

the teal on cp makes the signature standout more the purple not so much
Jan 16, 2009 at 9:56 am
chris pauls get your attention more than kevin martins so my vote is CP3
Jan 16, 2009 at 9:33 am
Kevin Martin’s PE is the one. Should be released for 25th Anniversary of Air Jordan at least.

cp3s all day
Jan 16, 2009 at 1:43 am
i picked them purple 23’s caz they jus on point
Jan 16, 2009 at 1:03 am
kevin martin doesn’t deserve to be in the same sentence as chris paul. he doesn’t even deserve to wear jordans. how dare he. ps he really shouldnt be rockin the 90s fade.
Jan 16, 2009 at 1:03 am
CPs for me
Jan 15, 2009 at 10:59 pm
all I gotta say is that CHRIS PAUL KILLeD IT!!!! he got the best PEs his 23s are crazy cuz the blue makes the kicks stand out more and is black 6 rings were crazy
Jan 15, 2009 at 10:03 pm
definitely kevin martin’s. the black and purple with the argyle stitching are killing it for me, in a good way
Jan 15, 2009 at 9:32 pm
cp3 are j’s are crazy
Jan 15, 2009 at 7:39 pm
CP has more of a vivid shoe because of the baby blue trim on the forefoot. The stitching is just plaint beautiful on both shoes. I give CP the edge over K-mart. Both are sexy either way.
Jan 15, 2009 at 7:28 pm
people, KENYON Martin is K-MART, NOT KEVIN Martin. i can tell yall don’t watch basketball except to see the shoes. anyway, i would have to go with KEVIN’S 23s because that black and that purple are clean as hell. usually CP3 has the PEs on lock down but he lost this match.
Jan 15, 2009 at 6:35 pm
how the hell can you make us choooooose between the two!!!
but I do like the purple ones a lil better!
Jan 15, 2009 at 5:05 pm
CP3 Is A Betta Player! But Both 23’s R Hot Fire!
Jan 15, 2009 at 4:52 pm
Kevin Martin’s Sneakers Go Harder…
Jan 15, 2009 at 4:45 pm
all you people calling kevin martin “K-MART” are retarded.. the real “K-MART” is kenyon martin.. stupid f***s..
Jan 15, 2009 at 4:43 pm
Love both colorways, but the Blck/Univ. Blue look nicer due to the color. If K-Mart’s shoe had more purple then it might be a different story.
Jan 15, 2009 at 4:26 pm
I’m going with CP3 but this is gonna be tight.
Jan 15, 2009 at 4:10 pm
CP takes this.
The Purple in the Kevin Martin PE’s doesn’t make them stand or… nor is it noticeable.
Jan 15, 2009 at 4:05 pm
Gotta go with Kevin Martin Purple is one of my favorite colors on kicks.
Jan 15, 2009 at 3:53 pm
Both are dope, but K-Martin needs more purple in his shoe!
Jan 15, 2009 at 3:32 pm
kevin martin def has the better 23s
Jan 15, 2009 at 3:24 pm
Black and purple is a fresh colorway, but CP’s just pop more. It’s all about breakin necks, even if it’s on the court!
Jan 15, 2009 at 3:15 pm
cp3’s stand out more becuz he got the teal on the sides…
Jan 15, 2009 at 3:14 pm
cp has the better ones…more color on em than k mar’s…
Jan 15, 2009 at 3:01 pm
wow i like the black and purpler 23’s
Jan 15, 2009 at 2:57 pm
I feel like flipping a coin for this one, but I give the edge to the CP’s
Jan 15, 2009 at 2:57 pm
Just hope the Hornets get that purple alternate jersey like the good old days, and then we’ll see whats up…
Not to big on the old yellow one’s, but would like to see what CP3 would wear with em
Jan 15, 2009 at 2:55 pm
i feel like the kevin martin need more purple on the shoe.like the chris paul light blue stands out and the purple dosent. there both hot but i gotta go with chris paul
Jan 15, 2009 at 2:38 pm
kmarts are more subtle and badass lookin
Jan 15, 2009 at 2:36 pm
its a tie for me.. lmao at the pic wit rondo nd cp3 its priceless
Jan 15, 2009 at 2:34 pm
Rondo looks petrified lmao
Jan 15, 2009 at 2:32 pm
Picked Cp3 just because how the baby blue is applied more in the shoe..where as the K-Marts were mainly black…both still sick…
Jan 15, 2009 at 2:14 pm
just love the purple!
Jan 15, 2009 at 2:11 pm
but the cp 23 are nicer
Jan 15, 2009 at 2:10 pm
in my opinion, black and purple is the best colorway
Jan 15, 2009 at 2:07 pm
CP waaaaaay better…the DNA stitching looks better than the argoyle stitching anyday
Jan 15, 2009 at 1:44 pm
k-mart all da way
Jan 15, 2009 at 1:38 pm
are k mart’s PE’s low? if low, i gotta go w/ CP3. if they regular, maybe they better than Paul’s.
Jan 15, 2009 at 1:31 pm
not cp3 got the better pair but i love them both
Jan 15, 2009 at 1:29 pm
Black+Purple wins every time!
Jan 15, 2009 at 1:23 pm
if they splashed some white on those km23’s, they’d be fiiiiiire. the dark on dark isnt working for me…
Jan 15, 2009 at 1:22 pm

Jan 15, 2009 at 1:13 pm
CP’s are waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better by far!!!
Jan 15, 2009 at 1:13 pm

Jan 15, 2009 at 1:12 pm
I picked CP3. I like the blue, but if the purple was in place of the blue K-Mart’s shoes would look a lot better.
Jan 15, 2009 at 1:10 pm
I MEAN KEVIN
Jan 15, 2009 at 1:08 pm

Jan 15, 2009 at 12:59 pm
Just cant stand the stitching on the purple.
Jan 15, 2009 at 12:56 pm

Jan 15, 2009 at 12:51 pm
