Hitting in Summer 2010 is this double-take inducing Jordan CP3.III in a very heavily inspired tribute to the “True Blue” Air Jordan 3‘s.

What sneakers are in the game? Who’s wearing what? What colors can I make them in? Each game essentially has a built in footwear ID option where you can customize many of the latest releases from your favorite brand. Heck, you’ll probably spend just as much time customizing your shoes and your player as you would playing the actual game. I know it sounds crazy, but its really a beautiful thing.
