Air Jordan Release Dates 2015: Jordan Melo M11 ‘Concrete Island’, ‘Family’, ‘Gold Standard’ – Price, Where to Buy, Photos
The highly-anticipated colorways of the news Jordan Melo M11 are set to hit the market this weekend.
The Jordan Melo M11, Carmelo Anthony's latest Jordan Brand signature shoe, will arrive at retailers in "Concrete Jungle," "Jordan Family" and "Gold Standard" editions on Saturday, Jan. 3, 10 a.m. EST on Nike.com.
The "Concrete Jungle" edition features a silver and black-based upper part with speckles accented with unique color combination on the tongue.
According to Nike, this edition, which is officially listed as the Blue Graphite/Black/Game Royal/Metallic Silver colorway of this signature shoe, was inspired by New York City's concrete jungle and the island of Manhattan.
"This colorway of the Jordan Melo M11 juxtaposes the grit and shine of one of the world's greatest cities," Nike noted. "The gray across the forefoot echoes the concrete streets and the detailing on the tongue is a nod to brightly colored graffiti and street art, while a subtly speckled midsole evokes the bright lights of the city that never sleeps."
On the other hand, the "Jordan Family" edition was made upon Anthony's request. According to Nike, Anthony wanted to have a colorway that will pay tribute to the traditional Air Jordan shoe colorways worn by Michael Jordan when he was still playing for the Chicago Bulls -- one of New York Knicks' main rivals in the NBA during the 1990s.
The simple-looking Jordan Melo M11 "Jordan Family" features a white and black-based upper part finished off with gym red midsole and white outsole.
Like the "Jordan Family" edition, the "Gold Standard" version also sports a simple color scheme. It has a black-based upper part with gold hints finished off with gold midsole and translucent blue outsole.
The Jordan Melo M11 "Gold Standard" was simply listed as the "Black/Gold" edition when the signature shoe was unveiled earlier this month, but Anthony and Jordan Brand asked the fans to name this colorway. The Jordan Melo M11 "Gold Standard" is the first black/gold shoe in the Melo signature shoe franchise.
All three colorways also boasts performance-based features such as Nike FlightPlate technology, which provides superb cushioning and ample ankle support.
The Jordan Melo M11 "Concrete Jungle," "Jordan Family" and "Gold Standard" will be available for $160 per pair. More photos of these Melo M11 colorways are available on this link.
