Chris Paul hit the red, well, technically, the black carpet if you want to get literal at the Essence Music Festival sporting a pair of one of the most interesting Air Jordans of all time. While the upper half of Paul’s look with the Polo buttoned to the neck and cellphone affixed to the belt may shout 10th grade chess club, the bottom half isn’t half bad. He pairs up some fitted khakis with a pair of the white, red, and black canvas-clad Air Jordan 1 KOs. Before their re-release, the Air Jordan 1 KO was something of sneaker folklore legend, a rumored pair of canvas Air Jordan 1s whose existence no one could truly confirm. Their release a few years back was met with an overwhelmingly warm reception and for good reason. This is one of the most versatile Jordans to date blending the silhouette of the classic Air Jordan 1 with the leisurely lifestyle aesthetic of a canvas clad kick.
