Air Jordan 1 Retro High "Melo"

by Quinn L.V. McDonald

The much buzzed about Air Jordan 1 Retro High "Melo"s are hitting the market this Saturday, December 20th. After just announcing that the shoe will be available for kids, the Retro 1 “Melo”s became an even hotter ticket.

The official name of the new "Jordan Melo 11"s -- which feature a black and gold motif -- will come from the public, crowd sourced by social media.

The black portion of the kick's upper appears to be a nubuck or suede material with some sort of textured pattern around the ankle and the original Air Jordan stamp. The gold portion consist of leather Nike logos, Melo’s logo on the tongue, and sparkling leather on the heel along with toe box. The midsole is in white but turns back to gold by the outsole. The style of the shoe clearly takes some inspiration from Carmelo’s recently revealed  "Jordan Melo 11"s

Set to drop this Saturday, these golden kicks will set you back $130.
