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.
