[COLOR=#000080][B]"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.[/B][/COLOR]

[COLOR=#000080][B]"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.[/B][/COLOR]

[COLOR=#000080][B]"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."[/B][/COLOR]
