NBA Kicks: Carmelo Anthony debuts a “Knicks” Jordan Melo 1.5 colorway on the court

2013 - October 17 - 1b

For all the talk about whether or not Nike will bring back the signature shoes of LeBron James and Kobe Bryant past (Spoiler: They will because they like money but they’re going to take their time with it), Jordan Brand has them beat courtesy of the slow tease for a Jordan Melo 1.5 retro release. Arguably Carmelo Anthony’s best signature shoe, the Melo 1.5 has been popping up on the feet of Anthony lately at recent off-court events, including a Knicks colorway that he wore on Media Day. Last night, Anthony finally rocked on the blue, white and orange Melo 1.5 on the court for the first time last night against the Washington Wizards.

Are you excited for the return of the Melo 1.5? Did we actually underrate these non-signature Jordans after all of this time or do you feel the talk for these is simply based on the fact that it will come back with the word “RETRO” on it? Let us know in the comments below.

Check out the rest of the night (and day since we waited for the Lakers-Warriors game in China to finish up) in kicks which includes some more Under Armour Anatomix Spawn PEs for Stephen Curry, another appearance from the Nike KD 6 “Weatherman”, LeBron James bringing out another LeBron 10 Elite PE and much more.
