Jordan Brand is releasing a trophy-inspird Air Jordan 9 dubbed, “Mop Melo” to commemorate Carmelo Anthony and his National Championship.

To commemorate Melo and the award that foreshadowed his future success, Jordan Brand is set to release a trophy-inspired Air Jordan 9. The shoe’s Gold and Brown accents are offset by Melo’s number, 15, on the heel, his logo on the insole, and embossed leather resembling wood grain. And though Melo was wearing the Nike Shox Supremacy during the finals, a quick glance at the Air Jordan 9 “Melo” recalls the moment he kissed the award and launched a legendary NBA career.
