Celebrating Carmelo Anthony’s decade-long tenure with the brand, Jordan Brand has released two special editions of his Jordan Melo M10. This duo features a contrasting combination of colorways, with one in a simple style code, and the other in a fiery makeup. Led off by a “Green Glow” take, this white and wolf grey rendition uses the nickname tone on the tongue’s Jumpman logo. The other half of the duo is a “Fire Red” rendition that uses Carmelo’s favorite color with black accents. Finally, both pairs are finished off with copper gradient heel plates that shimmer in the light. The Jordan Melo M10 “Green Glow” and “Fire Red” are available now for $165 at Foot Locker.

LeBron James won’t be competing in this summer’s 2014 FIBA World Cup Olympic-qualifying tournament, but if he shows up in support, he has new shoes for the occasion. The Nike LeBron 11 Low “Independence Day” is this year’s country rendition from LBJ’s signature line, celebrating the 4th of July in red, white and blue. These USA-colored Nike LeBron 11 Lows use a vivid red upper with a white Swoosh and a navy blue heel clip and midsole. Finished off with a cool grey full-length visible Air unit, a white outsole and two-tone rope laces, this “Independence Day” style code is pure Americana. Get a detailed look at the shoe below courtesy of ITSB, and tell us your thoughts in the comment section underneath.

The Nike LeBron 11 “South Beach” has a set-in-stone release time of 8:00AM Eastern on June 21, 2014. For those not familiar with converting time zones, that means the shoes are available at:
