Before Beijing, the American team will play in a series of “Friendlies” games in China. There will be three special athlete release to honor the ocasion and Melo will wear the Olympia Supreme. Melo’s jersey number breaks down to seven, symbolizing ‘togetherness’, plus eight, which sounds like ‘fortune’ in Chinese. His unique personality and love of dogs is represented in a special graphic. The Olympia comes fully-loaded with heel and forefoot Zoom Air, a 3/4 length support sleeve and improved traction so Melo is ready to take on the world. Inspired by Italian craftsmanship, the Olympia features distinctive toe stitching and its AJX-like sole commemorates the years Team Jordan athletes played in the Games.
