Sneaker Fusion

Nike Air Jordan ‘Melo M5' & ‘Fusion 4'

Nike Air Jordans are the undisputed all-time favorite basketball sneaker of choice. Nike continues to fuse their iconic models into new editions, however, effectively clouding the market and confusing customers with these variations from the original shoe.

The latest additions to the Air Jordan fusion line are these red Air Jordan Melo M5 sneakers and the military blue Air Jordan Fusion 4 high-tops, both found in the gallery above. They have a release date of April 17, 2009.

I like both of these brand-new basketball sneakers. What do you think? Does the Air Jordan still rock your world?
