Jordan Brand and Chris Paul recently took over the Nike Vault and we had a chance to stop by the facility to get a closer look. In addition to the NIKEiD station, the photo booth, the apparel, and the selection of Jordan CP3.VIIs, Jordan Brand also brought in a few of Chris Paul's favorite retro sneakers. From a few PEs we have seen before to a some Olympics kicks that we haven't, Chris Paul definitely has some heat in his stash. Think of this as an update to the video we recently posted of his sneaker closet. Sit back and enjoy A Detailed Look at Chris Paul's Favorite Jordan Retros at Nike Vault.

Air Jordan 1 "Silver/Red"
The summer is officially over, the kicks from the Legends of Summer tour live on. As a Jordan Brand athlete, Chris Paul was able to get his hands on another one of the kicks that JT was rocking. We kinda want these a lot!
Air Jordan XIII "New Orleans" Away
Most of us wouldn't dare to rock our precious retros on the court, but that is not the case when it comes to Chris Paul. This Air Jordan XIII "New Orleans" PE has had its day on the court, but still looks clean in this display.
Air Jordan IV Purple Nitro
The CP3.VI Nitro pack showed Chris Paul's love for cars, and Jordan Brand complemented that pack with a set of Air Jordan IVs to match. Of that collection, this purple nitro colorway is the most bold and carries the most style out of the trio.
Air Jordan IV White/Blue
Outside of using the word clean, there is not much else to say about this Air Jordan 4. The white upper is accented with blue and a touch of orange that will surely get the blogs talking when Chris Paul rocks them in the streets. These were made to go alongside the Jordan CP3.VI Nitro Pack that released last year.
Air Jordan IV "Georgetown"
As a Nike/Jordan school, Georgetown has been able to acquire some really great exclusive sneakers for their basketball program. Last season, the school played in a special colorway of the Air Jordan XX8, but that still doesn't top the Air Jordan IV "Georgetown" PE. As you can tell, Chris does like to #wearhiskicks.
Jordan 6 Rings "CP3 PE"
While most of the shoes that Chris Paul brought in to check out were in new or almost brand new condition, the Jordan 6 RIngs looked like it had been worn the most. Not as in worn in the streets, but like it had some experience on the NBA hardwood, which actually makes sense since he wore them while he was in New Orleans.
Jordan CP3.VI "All-Star"
The shoes you play in are almost always your favorite. Here we see the CP3.VI that Chris Paul wore during the All-Star game earlier this year. Stay tuned from a closer look at this one.
Air Jordan 1 Mid
Again, Chris Paul has a thing for the Air Jordan 1. This model sports a unique black leather upper that is highlighted by gold accents and lettering on the heel and ankle.
Air Jordan VII "Olympic Gold Medal"
If you happened to catch the last round of the Olympics, you saw that Chris Paul and Team USA won the gold medal in basketball. What you may not have seen is this Air Jordan 7 colorway that is rumored to only be in the possession of Carmelo Anthony and Chris Paul. Now we can't confirm if that is true, but we can say that you probably will not see these hit production.
Air Jordan VII "Miro"
For this pick, Chris Paul went back to 2008. Inspired by the great Spanish artist Joan Miró and his famous sculpture called "Woman and Bird", these sit pretty high of the list for many collectors.
Air Jordan 1 "Legends of the Summer"
Let's be honest, these aren't the shoes that you just wear out. These call for a very special occasion, maybe when you're performing on a stage during the summer. We know one things for sure, we can't wait to see Chris Paul rock them.
Air Jordan V "Clippers"
If there was any shoe on this list that people want to see hit the stores shelves, it is the Air Jordan V "Clippers". Jordan Brand did a great job with the colors and the blue really pops off the silhouette.
Air Jordan II "Legends Of Summer"
You may be trying to get those red Yeezy's, but Chris Paul is alright with this all-red Air Jordan II. These have Legends of Summer written all over them.
Air Jordan XIII "New Orleans Home"
For folks in LA, having Chris Paul comes to the Clippers is pretty exciting. However, before he made the jump, Chris Paul held it down in New Orleans, which made for some pretty cool PEs from Jordan Brand.
Air Jordan IV "Volt"
These made quite an impact on the web last week when the images were grabbed from the video of Chris Paul showing off his sneaker closet. Now we can get a cleaner look at the pretty exclusive pair.
Air Jordan 1 '93
From the looks of things, Chris Paul is a big fan of the Air Jordan 1. Here we see the Air Jordan 1 '93 in a GR colorway that released to the public.
Air Jordan XIII
Of course being sponsored by Jordan Brand has its perks, but the quality on this pair of Air Jordan XIIIs is just incredible.
