Jordan Melo M7 - "Jade" / "University Blue"

As we inch closer to November 21st, Nike keeps the conveyor belt rolling with these colorways of the Melo M7. Slated to drop just before Turkey Day in the states, the M7 will be on shelves with a price tag of $130. Expect Zoom Air in the Phylon material forefoot and a large volume Max Air unit in the heel of the M7.

First up are the M7's "Jade" colorway.



The special "Jade" colorway is symbolic of Carmelo's transition from a "rough, unpolised stone" into the gem that we know today (and all this time, you were thinking the shoes had something to do with Heineken, lol). The red laces represent China, where the jade stone is highly revered.



A Chinese proverb is written on the jade colored translucent outsole that translates to "if the jade is not polished, it will not be a gem". Chinese Jade artwork also adorn the special packaging of the M7.



The "Jade" M7 are currently an Asia exclusive, but you can (pre-)order them here.



More in line with the jerseys that engulf the Pepsi Center are the "University Blue" colorway. Inspired by the colors of the Denver Nuggets, the "University Blue" M7 are draped in White patent leather (with a White underlay) atop a Univ. Blue midsole. The Max Air unit in the heel are in a Nuggets Varsity Maize.



If the "University Blue" M7 more your liking you can pre-order them here.

Below is a sneak peek at the other colorways ("Cranberry"/"Blue" Faux-posites and the -black- Oak Hill Academys) that will be dropping sooner that later.



Here is a closer shot of the "Cranberry" -as the heads like to call 'em- 'faux-posites'.



Once again, the M7 drops on November 21st. Hey, who knows we might get a NY Knicks colorway before then, lol.
