The Melo M4 debuted in the 2007-08 season, when Carmelo Anthony joined the ranks of NBA superstars, reaching 9000 career points and starting the All-Star Game as the Western Conference’s 2nd leading vote getter. The shoe featured a removable neoprene ankle brace for fit and snugness, with a design that was inspired by the Foamposite rather than retro Jordans (as his previous shoes were).
