Photos of Chris Paul's 2016 Playoff sneakers leaked well before the Los Angeles Clippers clinched a postseason spot, but Paul and company didn't let Jordan Brand down, and those sneakers will see plenty of action on-court. Paul broke out a new colorway of the CP3.IX AE during game 1 against the Portland Trailblazers.

The initial colorways we saw looked like they may be designed for general releases, while the pair he played in is almost certainly a PE. It sports a bold red, white, and blue colorway, matching perfectly with the Clippers' home uniforms. Paul and his team won by twenty in the opening game, so if they keep up that kind of play, we could see a lot more PEs on his feet this postseason.
