All three will be available on Footlocker.com and will drop at a new release time moving forward – 10 am EST.
Jordan Melo M11 “Concrete Island”
“Inspired by the concrete jungle, this colorway of the Jordan Melo M11 juxtaposes the grit and shine of one of the world’s greatest cities. 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.”
Jordan Melo M11 “Jordan Family”
“Melo wanted to include a colorway tribute to the Jordan Brand family, who have been with him and supported him throughout his career. Featuring the traditional colorways worn by Michael Jordan — black, red and white — the shoe calls to mind the great Jordan rivalries with New York throughout the 1990s.”
Jordan Melo M11 “Gold Standard”
“Featuring a simple, premium color scheme, the black/gold colorway features luxury touches, and highlights throughout. As a tribute to his fans, Melo asked the Jordan Brand if he could poll the social media community to name the black/gold shoe, a first ever in the Melo shoe franchiase history.” On 12/23, Jordan Brand unveiled that the shoe would be nicknamed “Gold Standard.”
