Chris Paul is having a record year in his latest signature sneaker. While we know how #riquickulous Chris Paul might be, have you ever wondered what it would be like to move & train like CP3?
Erected in the space where a pool would be in the bottom of the Hudson Hotel, the Jordan Brand team occupied the space turning it into a Jordan Training Facility for us to run drills & train this past weekend in New York City.
To make sure participants were fully equipped, we were laced with pairs of the Jordan CP3.VII, the latest signature sneaker of elite NBA point guard Chris Paul.
Upon media members checking in & signing waivers, participants ran thru basketball drills which including passing, shooting, and agile footwork training on-court in the Jordan Training Facility.
In a deceivingly intense workout led by the NYC Bartendaz, we focused on natural body movement exercises modified to increase results such as push-ups, pull ups, and other calisthenics to have us sweating. After the workout teams were selected in groups of three according to where each person placed during the skills challenge. There were three players to a team playing 3-minute games keeping with the Chris Paul theme.
The Jordan Training Facility was also open to a few hundred local school kids throughout the weekend giving them the opportunity to go thru similar training while wearing the Jordan CP3.VII which I am sure they were bummed about giving back so I gave my stuff to one of them. Least I could do.
Big thanks goes out to Jeff, the NYC Bartendaz, and Jordan Brand for having me out.
