Two top players from Jordan Brand will officially be getting their own retro sneaker.

Carmelo Anthony and Chris Paul have been blessed by the Jumpman with their own Air Jordan 1, and the drop date is already scheduled for next month. After seeing several leaked images of the "Melo" and "CP3" 1s, it was initially believed that both colorways, gold for Anthony and blue for Paul, would release in 2015 as part of Jordan Brand's 30th anniversary. From the leaks, both pairs had the number 30 branded on the insoles, leading many to speculate that the 1s would launch to celebrate the milestone.

It's not yet known if the sneakers will come with the branded insoles, but  as it stands, according to Sole Collector, the drop for both pairs is scheduled for Saturday, December 20. Make some room in your holiday shopping list because December is going to be one expensive month.
