New York Knicks fans have a lot to be happy about what with their team fielding an actually competitive squad. And while most of that excitement surrounds the emergence of a certain Latvian draft pick, Carmelo Anthony is healthy and leading the Knickerbockers to a potential playoff birth. Melo is still Jordan Brand’s most Nike signature athlete, and now the Jordan 3 cardinal red gs is here to continue Carmelo’s run as the senior most athlete at the Jumpman. The debut colorway, known as the Jordan 3 cardinal red gs “The Dungeon” takes Melo back to his days honing his skill at a local Baltimore rec center that served as a safe haven, allowing him to focus exclusively on hoops.
The Melo M12 features a flexible, lightweight construction that features a lockdown ankle support to nod at the gold evolution of Carmelo’s game, now in its 12th professional year. A mesh upper is supported by what Jordan Brand is calling “Zoned Cushioning” (which quite frankly looks LeBron-esque). FlightSpeed technology delivers an explosive first step with maximum responsiveness thanks to added air units.
The Jordan 3 cardinal red gs will debut at global retailers on January 2nd for $160. Catch more official images below.
