Air Jordan Melo M5
Posted by Matt Halfhill | Aug 25, 2008 Carmelo Anthony wore the Melo M4 for most of the Olympic Games, but in the second half of the Gold Medal Game, Carmelo broke out something new - the Air Jordan Melo M5. These Olympics have been a major platform for brands to bring out their best and debut new product with major appearances by Nike, Adidas, Puma, and Reebok to name a few.
The Melo M5, designed again by Footwear Design Director of Brand Jordan D’Wayne Edwards, features the exterior stitching like we saw on the Air Jordan XX3 as well as a ribbed plastic piece at the heel similar to the Air Jordan 15. Just from the few shots we found online it is a bit hard to diagnose how great of a shoe the M5 will be, but anything that has to “one-up” the M4 has a tough task to accomplish. Photos of Melo and the M5 on his feet after the jump. |

^^^ idk if he sounds extremley idiotic or ignorant, someone else can make that choice, and the shoes are hot, but i would only wear them with a jordan tee and gym shorts

it is a upgrade but can u figure out which shoe…?
doesn’t it look like a combination of tha B-LOYALS THAT CAME OUT AWHILE BACK…? OR U CAN SAY THA SHOE LOOKS LIKE A NEW VERSION OF THA RETRO 7&THA JORDAN 23…? IF THESE SHOES HAVE SOLID COLORWAYS 4 THA SEASON I’LL GET A PAIR… STILL THA SHOES LOOKS LIKE A EXCLUSIVE JORDAN BRAND LIMITED EDITION JUST 4 MELO..

I’ll pass on these.

^ I hate some of the iPhone’s automated corrections too. Everytime I am typing an address in my home state, it auto corrects to tc. How many ppl across the lone star state must be feeling my pain?! We’re only the second most populous state in the union!

*out*, not put… Damn iPhone!

The sole is similar to the XIV near the arch. Nice incorporation of a few past Jordans.
Still not too big on the Melo line though.
On another note, I got my Molten ball (pictured above) last week. That sh*t is a beauty and it feels so much better than the official Spaulding ball!
Should see the rotation on it in person, so pretty. Especially coming put of my hands!

Aug 25, 2008 at 7:06 pm
