The last time the USA Basketball team had special shoes on it’s feet was back in 2000 when the team was in Sydney and Nike released two special colorways of the Shox BB4 and the Air Flightposite II, we all know what has happened since and until yesterday the USA Basketball Men’s Basketball Team has not been the same. These 2008 Olympic Games meant something more to Team USA than ever before as it was dubbed not the Dream Team but rather the “Redeem Team” as it set out to take back what some believe is rightfully theirs. Nike was the official sponsor of the team and sponsors all but one of the players on the team, thus what better platform than the Gold Medal Game to debut the signature shoes of two of it’s most prominent athletes, Carmelo Anthony (M5) and Lebron James (Zoom Lebron VI). We have already given you full in depth pictures and specs of the Zoom Lebron VI but now we have some pictures of Carmelo’s upcoming signature shoe the M5, as both Melo and Lebron. Congratulations to Team USA for bringing back the Gold and stay tuned for more information on both the Air Jordan M5 and Nike Zoom Lebron VI.

“Nike was the official sponsor of the team and sponsors all but one of the players on the team”
If i’m not mistaken, there are 2 players on Team USA that aren’t sponsored by Nike.
Dwight Howard – Adidas
Dwayne Wade – Converse

Nike owns Converse, so D. Wade’s footwear is legit (just a star instead of the swoosh).
Very interesting to Howard in Nike’s. I wondering if he’s jumping from Adidas?
