Why the Cleveland Cavs? Lightly put, Michael, OWNED them. Ask Craig Ehlo, who still might be sitting on the Gund Arena floor doing ‘The Brady’. With the Air Jordan IV celebrating its Jordan-specific milestone year, Jordan Brand has looked back at some of Michael’s greatest hits (for the Cavs, those hits felt like haymakers), and looking back at that memorable video clip, it seems like the pause button was pressed when Michael floated in mid-air for what felt like…an inhuman amount of time. We’ve got some more detailed angles of the Air Jordan IV ‘Cavs’ for you below, but if you’d rather see them on your feet, grab one of the available pairs now from jqtechdestination on eBay.

Dwyane Wade, Carmelo Anthony, Chris Paul – they’ll be busy on the 26th of February, because they’re representing their respective Conferences in the 2012 NBA All-Star Game. Jordan Brand’s Big Three has a copious amount of All-Star appearance under its collective belt, and for this upcoming occasion, they’ll be rocking some new PE colorways of their signature shoes. Starting with the Eastern stars, Dwyane Wade will wear a sick White/Royal/Navy colorway of the Jordan Fly Wade 2 and Carmelo Anthony will rock a similar colorway of the Jordan Melo M8 with a jaw-dropping navy-blue elephant print, while the West’s best point guard will rock the Red/White colorway seen in our Jordan CP3.V Media Launch coverage from last month. Which of the three do you like best? You can see these in-game on February 26th, or cop your own on February 23rd when all three will hit select Jordan Brand retailers, so take a look below and let us know what you think.

While Syracuse University isn’t a Jordan Brand outfitted school, the school has turned a harmless blind eye to its players rocking Air Jordans on court. In addition to all the AJ Retro heat that we’ve seen on the Carrier Dome court, Syracuse has created a tradition of rocking Jordan Melos as well, as a homage to Carmelo Anthony’s Championship-winning legacy with the school. We can expect the Future Sole Melo M8 on their feet sometime in the future, but you can definitely count on the White/Midnight Navy-Orange Blaze to appear even sooner; watch for these to hit store in March, when NCAA basketball intensity becomes red-hot, and let us know what you think of these Orange-inspired Melos in the comments section below.

It appears that the New York Knicks are back on track after a rough start, winning three straight against Eastern Conference foes. While Carmelo is one of the most prolific scorers in the game, the Knicks seem to perform a bit better when he shares the ball a bit more – two of their five wins came without Melo being the leading bucket-maker. However, for the Knicks the truly succeed at the highest level, Carmelo Anthony needs to be at the top of his game, and he’s certainly doing so in the Jordan Melo M8, which features Flywire, visible Zoom Air cushioning, and a lock-down inner bootie. We showed you the Syracuse colorway a few times before, but we’ve got additional angles as well as a release point for these (March 2012, just in time for Syracuse’s run at the National Title). Check out the gallery below and let us know what you think of this latest Jordan Melo M8 colorway. via hk-kicks.

NBA Basketball is back, and on Christmas Day, fans were treated with five highly anticpated match-ups that could possibly hold long-term influence. To start the day off, the New York Knicks took on the Boston Celtics, as Carmelo Anthony and Amare Stoudemire sported the ‘Christmas’ colorways of their signature shoes. The 2011 NBA Finals rematch caused a lot of buzz, but the Heat, led by LeBron James and Dwyane Wade, went off on a quick push and held a commanding lead for the entire game. The Lakers took on MVP Derrick Rose, who wore the adidas Rose 2.0 ‘Windy City’ against Kobe’s ‘Leopard’ Supreme System. Other games included CP3′s debut in Los Angeles and defending scoring champion Kevin Durant wearing the Nike Zoom KD IV ‘Christmas’. We’ve got a great recap of the Christmas Day games below, so take a look and let us know which Christmas Day kicks you like best. via Yahoo!.

Carmelo Anthony’s Jordan Melo M8 is his first signature shoe as full-time New York Knickerbocker. Rolled out in some great Knicks inspired colorways, the Melo M8 came out with a bang, with the memorable Jordan Melo M8 NYC Flight Event and Flight Lab 159 in October taking over New York City in a complete Melo take-over. Even December’s release of the Varsity Maize ‘Taxi’ version provided some nice home-town spirit, but nothing signifies a Jordan Brand model better than when it is directly inspired by an original Air Jordan III. Arriving at retailers this February 2012 is the Jordan Melo M8 inspired by the Air Jordan III Black/Cement; it features a black patent leather upper matched with Grey and Varsity Red details and the signature elephant print on the ankle collar that completes one of the sickest Jordan Melo colorways in history. Would you like to see more Air Jordan-inspired Melo M8s? Check out the images below and let us know what you think.

The day that was in danger of never happening is finally here – NBA Media Day! It’s the perfect opportunity for NBA stars to re-introduce themselves to the media and the fans, and also a first look at some familiar faces in new places. We’ll let the NBA blogs handle that drama, because we’re here to look at the kicks! Starting off, Joe Johnson of the Atlanta Hawks was rocking the Air Jordan XI ‘Concord’, while Southern Conference rivals Orlando Magic forward Quentin Richardson wore his Air Jordan XIII PE in White/Royal. The Knicks frontcourt of Melo, STAT, and Tyson Chandler got together for a nice photo, while Kobe Bryant posed with veteran Derek Fisher and new coach Mike Brown. Other interesting notes: Monta Ellis, formerly with AND1, is seen wearing the Air Jordan 8.0 (that’s a great pick-up for Jumpman if he’s a full time member), and LeBron James rocking the Home/Scarface LeBron 9. There’s a lot more to see below, so take a look and get ready to kick off a season-long series of NBA Feet features! via Yahoo!.

Earlier today Sneaker News gave you the low-down on some release dates for the Nike Basketball Christmas Pack 2011, which featured the LeBron 9 , KD IV, and Zoom Kobe VII. Following up on that info is the release dates for Jordan Brand’s side of things – the Jordan Fly Wade 2 ‘Christmas’, which features a tonal red upper with white trim, and the Jordan Melo M8 ‘Christmas’, colored up in a rich Clover green with a Knicks-specific Orange Flash. Both releases will hit stores on Christmas Day, but that leaves the Jordan CP3.V, which is currently set for an early January release (and we don’t even know where CP3 will play this season). Most of you already have the 25th circled on your calendars for other reasons, but don’t forget about these two great Jordan Brand releases!

The Black History Month collection for 2011 from Nike/Jordan Brand/Converse was one of the better tribute sets we saw this year, and the lineup for 2012 is looking equally strong. The elegant black and gold styling was applied to fan favorites like the Nike Zoom Kobe VI and the Air Jordan III which disappeared quickly from retail shelves. Looks like there was at least one ‘what if’ model that never hit the market though, this Jordan Melo M7 done up in the black/gold look. The results again betray the flashy notion of a gold sneaker, with the royal color applied only on the accents. This one of a kind promo even comes with the premium wooden box that accompanied the retail drops from the set, making it the complete package. Check out the pics after the jump and hit up the auction to own this crazy Carmelo Anthony promo piece from thecoolshoeshine on eBay.

Knicks playing ball this season? Book it – for now. With a 66-game schedule in the works between the owners and players, we can finally look forward to some on-court heat, like this Green/Orange colorway of the Jordan Melo M8 that could be on the feet of Melo when the Knicks tip off on Christmas Day against the Boston Celtics. These could also make for a great St. Patrick’s Day PE as the New York Knicks have worn Green/Orange uniforms on that holiday for several years, but while there’s no official indication that this is indeed a holiday designation, we’re betting Carmelo will wear these or something close to it once the holiday arrives. Another interesting fact to point out; the last time the NBA experienced a shortened NBA season, the New York Knicks went to the NBA Finals. These have popped up at House of Hoops Barcelona, so check out the extra image below and stick with Sneaker News for U.S. availability.
