Carmelo Anthony was a member of the 2008 ‘Redeem Team’, a name given to the Olympic Squad after Team USA came home with a disappointing Bronze medal in the 2004 Olympic Games. It was particularly sweet for Carmelo to win on the biggest stage of International sports as he was part of that ’04 Team – and during Team USA’a Gold Medal run in 2008, a special Player Exclusive colorway of the Air Jordan V was made for Anthony, who is a Jordan Brand representative. The colorway features a simple white, midnight navy, and metallic silver with the Team USA logo on the insole, an American flag on the inner tongue, and ‘8/8/08’ – the date that marked the start of the 2008 Beijing Olympics – instead of the usual ‘Air Jordan’ seen of the Jordan V. Just 24 pairs of this promo sample are believed to be produced so this deadstock pair is truly a collectors item for those who call themselves Jordan-collector aficionados.
