Carmelo Anthony had several needs for his M8s but his model has several elements to honor his roots and his family. The shoe's tongue has its most prominent touch.

"It says 'Born In Brooklyn, manufactured in Baltimore, and Model #7.' It's got his signature so it's kind of his sign-off, old-school," shoe designer Justin Taylor points out.

But the inside of the shoe, right where the heel rests, is where you'll find plenty of Melo's narrative.

"When you look on the inside, there's that shield. So that shield is Melo's personal story all wrapped up into one spot on the shoe. So it's got his logo in it, it's got a 'K.A' for his son's initials, it's got 'Lala' on the other side for his wife.

"It's broken up into four quadrants. One is representative of Brooklyn, one for his Puerto Rican heritage, one is Baltimore and one is his mother's initials with four stars for her four children."

Made in Taiwan.
Last night on the national news they said if home builders used at least 5% of materials made in the USA that we could create nearly a quarter of a million jobs. A numbers cruncher confirmed that to be true. Even though the American nails were a little bit more expensive, they rarely got stuck in the nail gun while those made in China constanly got stuck. The bottom line, less waste and the initial price difference balanced out.

Buy only made in America when you can.

Here is that story

Really is a shame. Across the board. Buying American doesn't only help the company you're buying from, it benefits all of USA
 
Couldn't tell cuz there is no EXIF information in the provided photo, but if they used a Kodak camera to take the photo, New York would have made the list...

Wait, Kodak cameras are made in China... :(
