| Over the weekend, two of the most-known superstars in the league, Chris Paul and LeBron James, took the court against each other in old-fashion…literally. The Hornets suited up in the white, red and black throwback uniforms of the ABA New Orleans Buccaneers while the Cavs wore yellow and red Hardwood Classic jerseys. With that said, check out the sneakers CP and LBJ sported to match their uniforms!
Chris Paul hooped in a Red/White colorway of the Air Jordan 23. This sneaker featured a white upper with red stitching pattern on the side panels. Wouldn’t it be nice to see more PEs in this colorway? On the other hand, James wore his Nike Zoom LeBron 6 “Hardwood Classic” which featured a colorway similar to the OG Houston Rockets uniforms. If you recall, James hooped in part two of his Hardwood Classic series two weeks ago. Who had the better throwback colorway sneakers: CP or LBJ?
