Had a wad of 100s and was just counting them down for the purchase. Gave me an autograph and everyone who saw him there pictures, with a smile. I didn’t have anything on me (no pen or paper), so the store guy gave me a small piece of notepad paper behind the counter. I remember Melo telling me the paper was hella small, so he freestyled cursive that was his initials 😅

U think a Jordan player buys shoes from the store and online? ... a jordan player ... google ray Allen's shoe collection. He got on the Off White Vs ...
Always been a fan of Carmelo Anthony, one of the smoothest shots I've seen and he was a scoring problem from everywhere, good to see him giving back like this👌
The bond time with your son brings that 90’s energy back about shoes. A father wants his son to have that feeing he had about shoes and being able to provide them for him is the icing on the cake
As someone who grew up in the Syracuse area of Upstate New York, this is one I can heavily appreciate. And, I like how Melo took this opportunity to give back with his purchases. That's dope. Much respect, Melo.
Melo plays in Portland, home of Nike, best believe he's not wasting money for resale or full price Nike when anyone in Oregon can get it half off or free lol
I'm from portland, and my stepsister (who worked at Nike) got me and my brother some cement Jordans in like 91, and we were wearing them playing around in dirt and shit like boots.
its chicago. not saying we dont have money here or nice things and what not, but were a little more "old money" and subdued GENERALLY SPEAKING. not a huge hypebeast culture here (again, generally speaking)
reason why i always was a melo fan since his rookie year with the nuggets he just down to earth and just seen like a guy you can have a beer with without bullshit
NBA Youngboy bought a fan a pair of shoes and Jerry Lorenzo bought his kids and niece/nephews some shoes. Trippie Redd bought his girl some shoes as well.
Can't believe they are at St. Al's. I been going here for years. it's a low-key hole in the wall sneaker boutique on Chicago's northwest side. Big change up from the spots complex usually be at. Shout out to complex for coming to the chi and doing a joint at a local spot where everyday people walk in to shop.
If you had to design a new Jordan, which model would you select?
Complex 1 ofcourse
Complex 11
gotta be 1

@tinder.mops on instagram for the best memes
Respect tf outta Carmelo for this. He didn’t even buy himself shoes, he just cared about the kids
He’s sponsored by Jordan, he doesn’t have to flex like rappers, he’s probably got a million shoes, athletes money is different
Melo is. Real one that’s why folks rooted for him to come back because of how solid he is
Melo has made over 100mil with only the Jordan brand let alone his NBA salaries from over 17 years
Doesn't really have to lol. He prolly has all them pairs and more people haven't even seen.

That is sooo awesome to see! I feel so happy for them kids being able to pick 2 of whatever they wanted. Good shit melo
Shotout to actually charging retail prices
Tone Blue it’s because their no hype shoes. If they picked up some off white I guarantee it wouldn’t be retail lol
Tone Blue its a retail store.
Some of the ones go for lower than retail tho
