In November we brought you word of a black/silver pair of the Air Jordan Melo M6 hitting Jordan retailers nationwide. Pictured here is the newest colorway of what is the sixth shoe from Carmelo Anthony’s signature sneaker line under Jordan Brand. It comes in a predominantly white upper with yellow and university blue accents that make this shoe match perfectly with the Denver Nuggets home uniform colors. Under the sneaker you will also find that it reads “AU-79/08,” which refers to the Olympic gold medal Carmelo earned as part of the USA basketball team. And Carmelo’s jersey number, 15, can also be seen near the ankle area in university blue and yellow outlining on the inner side of the sneaker. However, this release is exclusive to Foot Locker House of Hoops locations, so you might have a slightly more difficult time snagging a pair of this Air Jordan Melo M6, which went on sale yesterday. What are your thoughts on this colorway and the M6 silhouette in general?

Early last month we brought you word of a means by which you could dive deeper into the newest addition to the Jordan Melo signature sneaker line- the Jordan Melo M6 Interactive Website. But now the wait is done, OVER. This coming Monday November 16, 2009, the Jordan Melo M6 hits Jordan retailers nationwide in a black/silver colorway. Foot Lockers nationwide will surely have these in stock, which many believe to be the best sneaker yet from Anthony’s signature sneaker series. Reason to feel that way includes a double padded internal fit sytsem which increases foot security/stability AND comfort. The M6 borrows from the AJ XI design with a patent leather toe area that looks great on the court. Moreover, specific cues that tie back to Anthony include his hometown Baltimore skyline on the outsole, where it also reads AU97/08- referencing the atomic number for gold and the year in which Anthony won basketball gold in the Olympics. What do you guys feel of the latest installment? Is it really the best Melo sneaker yet?

Denver Nuggets superstar Carmelo Anthony will be wearing his sixth Jordan Brand signature shoe during the 2009-10 season, the Jordan MELO M6. The shoe takes a different approach than past MELO models, placing emphasis on lightweight construction, ventilation, and bulletproof ankle support. The M6 also features an exaggerated tongue and what looks to be a Air Jordan II (2) toe. The MELO M6 looks to be available in white/black/red, white/black, white/varsity red, white/navy blue, and white/University Blue and will likely be available by the Holiday season.
