This time of year eyes around the world turn to the hardwood as the best players at all levels compete to determine who is the greatest. On April 18, Brooklyn, New York’s Barclays Center will host the Jordan Brand Classic, where the future of the game will play Next vs. Next in the 13th annual Jordan Brand Classic.
Participants in the National Game will don limited edition Jordan Melo M10s featuring a black or white upper and a New York City-inspired pattern on the collar. Continuing to pay homage to the Concrete Jungle, players’ uniforms will feature the same graphic depiction of the cityscape from above with accents of gold.
Both M10 colorways will be available for purchase beginning April 12 at Flight 23 at Footaction, House of Hoops Harlem and House of Hoops Fulton for $165. Drawing inspiration from the color and pattern of the elite players’ uniforms, exclusive Jordan JBC Cityscape Tees will also be available for $35.
