Jordan Melo M5 Olympics and Alternate Denver Nuggets PEs Available Now

Earlier today we told you the Olympic and the Alternate Denver Nuggets Jordan Melo M5 colorway dropped this past weekend at all three House of Hoops locations; however, we have now spotted them at other retailers, namely OSneaker. We also have better photos to either sway your opinion negatively or positively.

If you recall, Carmelo Anthony sported the red, white and blue colorway of the Jordan Melo M5 throughout the 2009 Beijing Olympics this past summer. The start date of the 2009 Olympics, 08-08-08, is imprinted on the inner lining of the sneaker, As for the Black/Metallic Silver-University Blue-Tx colorway, we have yet to see Anthony lace these up in a game this season; however, we expect to see them soon. Only 72 pair were released to the public. Click the jump to view detailed photos of each colorway.
