Even though the Air Jordan Melo M5 was released in early 2009, we now have our first look at a sample pair that never made its way to retailers. This Melo M5 yields a black upper accented by metallic silver “15″ stitching, a metallic silver Jumpman, and a maize “Melo” on the tongue. The diagonal stictching on the upper is quite unique to say the least, and it would have been interesting to see how well this style would have sold. As previously mentioned, this Air Jordan Melo M5 is a sample, and will never be released.

 The Air Jordan Melo M5 was first introduced as the ideal basketball sneaker and since then a full array of colorways developed in 2008. 2009 will result in more color choices including the white, metallic silver, university blue and taxi Melo M5 pictured above. The sneakers sport colors more along the lines of the Denver Nuggets as they look to make their mark in the Western Conference. Featured is a classy look of a white upper with university blue highlights. Just a friendly reminder, the Air Jordan Melo M5 will get the ball rolling for 2009 and is available on January 1st, 2009.
