Over the last month, Carmelo Anthony has been playing the best basketball of his career, leading the Knicks charge into the Playoffs to a much-anticipated match-up against either the Heat or Bulls, or even the Pacers if they managed to capture the 6-seed. In what has been an awe-inspiring display of at-will offensive acumen, team-oriented leadership, and an overall MVP-type play (epitomized by his second career triple double last week), Carmelo has proven that he’s not only one of the best scorers in the game, but still one of the best period. This upcoming May 9th release of the Melo M8 is like an ‘Alternate’ Knicks get-up, as it swaps out the classic Knicks blue for Anthracite, creating a new look at a Knicks vibe anchored by the patent leather orange blaze upper. We’ve got a full shot of this new Melo M8 below so take a look and let us know what you think. Photos: gallery2/kinetics

There’s a little less than two weeks to go in the NBA season, but the NBA kicks just seem to get better and better. After debuting the Ambassador IV on Friday night, LeBron whipped out the Nike LeBron 9 Low in Black/Red against the Knicks on Sunday. The Garden seemed to be home to a lot of great sightings, because we saw the Air Jordan 2012, Air Jordan X, Kobe VII ‘Wolf’, and even John Wall’s ‘Beyond The Gold’ PE hit the Mecca floor. Other notables include Nate Robinson showing the Melo M8 some love, OJ Mayo rocking the tonal patent leather navy Air Max CB 34 HOH exclusives, and Timofey Mosgov boasting what might be the best iD colorway of the Huarache 2k4. The sneaker king of the week is without a doubt Monta Ellis, who showed up on Friday night with the Air Jordan XVI CDP and Air Jordan XVIII CDP (switching at halftime), and on Sunday with the Silver Anniversary XI. More of this weekend’s best footwear sightings, so take a look for a full recap of NBA Feet! Photos: espn

Carmelo Anthony’s clutch Easter performance came in a special Jordan Melo M8 PE that offered a rich suede upper whose matching Flywire panel results in an elegant, uniform look. That same motif works just as well for the team with which Melo first made national headlines as the one for which he’s currently balling, as the Oak Hill Academy player exclusive proves with a lush take on their red and gold school colors. This material and color distribution seems particularly crisp next to a pair of 2009′s Air Jordan 16.5s; does this newer ‘dipped’ look win out over a more traditional Jordan blocking pattern? You’ll see them side by side after the jump below, where you can leave a comment to let us know where these rank in the always growing collection of Air Jordan player exclusives. via riplovesun on hupu

With a Playoff spot on the line and the Milwaukee Bucks right on their tails, the New York Knicks are looking at every upcoming game as a ‘must-win’. As of Sunday morning, the Knicks were just one loss away from sharing the number-8 spot, and with the Chicago Bulls coming into town with the league’s reigning MVP making a return, the Knicks were facing their toughest test of the season. Without their star point guard and power forward, the Knicks needed to stand on the shoulders of Carmelo Anthony, who proved yesterday that he is still a giant in the league.
Carmelo carried the Knicks throughout the entire contest, giving the Knicks a second life with the game-tying three-pointer at the end of regulation and sealing a win with an over-time go-ahead three-pointer with seconds to spare. As he hit that final shot, Carmelo screamed to the crowd “This is my house”, and after yesterday’s win, the foundation of MSG’s postseason hopes were stronger than it they’ve ever been. For this special Easter Sunday game, Melo rocked out in some blue suede shoes – a sick Player Exclusive of his Jordan Melo M8 that profusely bled Knicks blue and orange. In what was undoubtedly Carmelo’s best game as a Knick, his kicks seemed to match the occasion without fault, so lets hope Melo continues to rock these PEs for the rest of the season, because as the leader of the Garden household, it’s all on him now. Check out an additional shot of Melo’s PE below and let us know what you think of the Knicks’ post-season chances! Photo: the_real_jobby

C.C. Sabathia has been penciled in by Yankees manager Joe Girardi as the Opening Day starter for the Bronx Bombers, and the Ace will take the mound wearing some Jordan PEs – but the Air Jordan XIs that he’s been most frequently spotted in. Sabathia will show some love to fellow New York pro-athlete megastar Carmelo Anthony by wearing a sick PE colorway of the Jordan Melo M8; it features a sick full navy patent leather upper with the grey detailing on the interior and Jumpman for a visually appealing package that should hopefully distract Albert Pujols and the rest of the Angels line-up! C.C. Sabathia asks: What y’all think? Let him know in the comments below.
