The UNTOLD Story of Why Carmelo Anthony Joined The Jordan Brand 

But we need Melo to get them to retro the 5.5’s. Those were tough!!!

“wasnt nice til junior year” is still insane😂

The black 5.5s with the light blue were cold 🥶 …

Mero just be laughing at anything to fill in dead space😢😂😂

The Melo 1.5s are goated

So he went to Adidas Camp in 2001, especially if he’s describing the “Cherrywood” Jordan 16s. 🔥🔥🔥🔥

The M10’s were my favorite shoes to hoop in #goated

I remember when we shot the commercial for his first signature shoe. We actually shot it at the crib of the dude who owned Vitamin Water before he sold it to Coke. Jordan Brand had only done 2 pairs prototypes of the shoe. They sent us both pair, one of which Melo was wearing in the commercial the first day. So, its 6am and we are prepping for the second shoot day and the agency says Jordan Brand wants Melo to switch the sneakers. The sneakers are nowhere to be found. Everybody is panicking. We all bout to get fired. We looking around like, "who tf didn't show up to work today?" The MF intern swiped the shoes, headband and a damn jersey. We had to swarm that mfs crib. Oddly enough, I got offered a job with Jordan Brand after that shoot. Still, one of my biggest career regrets in not taking that job .

Definitely talking bout the Cherrywood 16s!

Mero with the North Face Steep Tech! Very NYC late 90s/2000s vibe. IYKYK.

Carmelo "You know what I mean" Anthony

Damn melo wit Nike would’ve been fire for the long run of his sneaker line👌🏾

Yezzir I had those cherry wood 16’s too but I wore them cuz Shuttlesworth wore them when he was with the Bucks

Nah i’ve seen pics of Melo in the Adidas Pro Model 2g at the abcd camp. Let me know if anyone has pics of him in Jordan’s

My mom always got me the melo jays cus they were cheaper 😅

Who remembers Lenny Cooke doh 👀👀

Probably was the cherrywood 16’s.

I bet Oak hill is what started it they was a jordan team

I thought by now Mero would’ve toned down the meat gobbling.. He need to just calm down and let Melo finish his sentence..

Stop talking over Carmelo's answers, holy shit.

Nike would have made him better sneakers wish he would picked them.

Melo 5.5s. Were my shit had the black and the grey pair

And Jordan gave him a bunch a bullshit ass signatures, dude would've probably had a better line on Adidas
