Here they are! The brand new Carmelo Anthony signature sneaker we all have been waiting for was unveiled today. There is now officially a new pair of Jordans waiting to be copped. And we won't have to wait very long. The new Melo M8 is scheduled to drop on October 12th, 2011. Carmelo's eighth signature sneaker brings a fresh start to his career. This will be the first new signature sneaker he laces up with the New York Knicks. Traded on February 22, 2011 from the Denver Nuggets to the Knicks with Chauncey Billups, Melo now has the talent around him to make a run at the NBA Finals Championship. And, of course, he will have plenty of colorways of the Melo M8 to rock on his quest to be a champion for the first time.

The Melo M8, like the Melo M7 Advance, features Nike Flywire technology on the shoe's upper. Carmelo has always wanted lightweight stability in a shoe and there is no better technology to provide those qualities in a shoe than Flywire. There is plenty of cushioning in the shoe to complement the upper. Both Nike Zoom Air and Max Air are used in the midsole. Exposed Zoom Air contained in a TPU chasis is used in the forefoot while a Max Air unit has been placed in the heel.  There is a new Melo Sheild that is used to complete the shoe. The sheild was created by Melo and is a tribute to his family and New York City heritage. 

What would any high profile signauture sneaker be without a multitude of sick colorways? Boring. Fear not, the new Melo M8 will definitely not be boring. Already pictures of 5 different colorways of the shoe have been spotted. So far we have seen two Knick colorways, a home and away. Both shoes use patent leather, one has a white upper, the other a black upper. In addition,  Cool Grey, Black, and White/Black/Red colorways are already slated for release in the next couple of months. The home and away Knicks are sure to be a hit and release October 12. The Cool Grey colorway will drop sometime in November. Of course, these are just the initial colorways, there are sure to be more.

This week has been a very good week for sneakerheads. Several of the some high profile Jordan shoes for basketball have been unveiled. The new Melo M8 is one of those Jordan signature sneakers that was unveiled. And it was unveiled is some pretty sick colorways. This is a shoe that can definitely not be called boring.
