It's safe to say that Carmelo Anthony is having the season of his career thus far. With 29.2 points per game, you can almost hear the "MVP" chants right now. For his latest signature model, Jordan Brand also looks to deliver their best, introducing the lightest Melo thus far. The Melo M9 weighs in at just 13 ounces and packs all the punch and stability a superstar Small Forward would need.

Air Zoom is the cushioning of choice in the M9, a perfectly suited setup for one of the most explosively dominant players in the league. A full length TPU cage wraps around the foot, offering lateral stability and support, while Dynamic Fit technology utilizes Flywire for an unmatched level of support and lockdown.

"I love the idea of being locked in, whether I’m on the perimeter or making a move in the post,” Anthony said. "I want to protect my ankles while not restricting my cutting ability. After working closely with the Jordan Brand team during development stages, the JORDAN MELO M9 fits my game perfectly."

You can get your Melo on for $140 next Wednesday, January 9.
